Description

Easily-identified multi-core optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multi-core optical fiber easy to identify, and belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication transmission.
Background
Optical communication plays an extremely important supporting role in the information industry due to its characteristics of large capacity, high speed, long distance, and the like. In recent years, with the continuous development of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, wavelength division multiplexing, and high-spectrum-efficiency coding techniques, the transmission capacity of optical communication systems is on a continuous increase trend. However, as the transmission capacity of single-mode optical fibers has gradually approached the shannon limit, the development of optical communication technology tends to be slow (as shown in fig. 3). In order to cope with the current transmission capacity crisis and to maximize the system spectral efficiency, the space division multiplexing optical fiber research is actively being conducted.
The space division multiplexing and the module division multiplexing technology can break the traditional Shannon limit, realize the transmission with higher bandwidth, and is the best method for solving the problem of transmission capacity. The optical fibers supporting the multiplexing technology are multi-core optical fibers and few-mode optical fibers. Experiments show that signals can be transmitted in more than one spatial propagation mode by using few-mode optical fibers in combination with the MIMO technology. And the MIMO technology can compensate for mutual coupling between modes, separating each spatial mode at the receiving end. US8948559, US8848285, US8837892, US8705922 and chinese patents CN104067152, CN103946729, etc. propose few-mode fibers with parabolic or step-shaped profiles, but they have respective advantages and disadvantages. Few-mode fibers with stepped profiles are simple to manufacture and easy to mass produce, but typically have a large DGD, even up to several thousand ps/km. Few-mode optical fibers with parabolic profiles have more adjustable parameters, so that the intermodal crosstalk and the DGD reach low levels, but the preparation process is complex, the alpha parameter is difficult to control accurately and uniformly, and the repeatability is not high. And the small fluctuation of the refractive index profile along the axial direction of the prefabricated rod can cause the obvious change of the DGD at different sections of the optical fiber.
In recent years, space division multiplexing systems based on multi-core fiber (MCF) have gradually emerged. The present invention is expected as an optical transmission path capable of transmitting large-capacity information. There have been proposed several kinds of multi-core fibers divided into 4-core, 7-core, 10-core, 12-core and 19-core fibers by the number of cores in a single fiber, and the like. Each core in a multi-core fiber is an independent optical waveguide, and theoretically, the total transmission capacity of the system can be enlarged by N times by N cores in the multi-core fibers correspondingly.
In the 2011 conference on OFC, the OFS company in the United states reported that 56Tb/s signal transmission was achieved in 7-core fiber. In the same year, the NICT of Japan and the Sumitomo of Japan realize the signal transmission of 109Tb/s in the 7-core optical fiber, which is the first transmission experiment that a single optical fiber exceeds 100 Tb/s. At the international conference of 2012, NICT in japan first reported that transmission of over 305Tb/s was achieved over 19-core fiber. In the ECOC conference of the same year, a signal transmission experiment of more than 1Pb/s is realized in a 12-core multi-core optical fiber reported in Japan, and technical reserve is provided for the capacity expansion of a future communication network. In the 2013 OFC conference, it is first reported that a 7-core optical fiber is used for the construction of a data center and is used as a high-speed computer for high-height and high-density parallel interconnection. The existing multi-core optical fibers are applied to the fields of local connection of communication lines and high-speed communication, and the like.
At present, the transmission rate of many enterprise data centers is still 10Gbps, and the traditional 10G usually adopts an SFP + optical module and a dual-core LC interface for interconnection; the 40G ethernet specification requires 8-core interconnection, 4-fiber 4-receive, and a 12-core cable routing solution is adopted, each channel has 4 dedicated transmitting fibers and 4 dedicated receiving fibers, and the middle 4 fibers remain idle.
If a multi-core fiber (such as 8-core fiber) is used for data center interconnection, the number of used fibers can be greatly reduced, and the access density is improved. However, in practical applications, when the multicore fiber needs to identify the receiving and sending cores, or is connected to other multicore fibers, optical devices, etc., it is necessary to connect a specific core of the multicore fiber to a designated core of another multicore fiber and an optical device, however, at present, the cores of most of the multicore fibers are arranged at equal intervals, or are arranged in an axisymmetric or rotationally symmetric manner, and such distribution has the advantages of ensuring the uniformity of the core intervals, facilitating the fiber preparation and controlling crosstalk between cores, but having a problem that it is difficult to identify each specific core.
Some patent documents have proposed solutions, such as patents CN102257415B, CN102449515B, in which a visual recognition mark for recognizing the position of a specific core is additionally added to a cladding of an optical fiber, and the visual recognition mark is provided at a position where the symmetry of a multicore fiber is broken. However, these solutions set a number of limitations on the marking core, CN102257415B requiring marking as a void and CN102449515B requiring that at least a part of the visual identification marking has a higher refractive index than the refractive index of the cladding.
The method described in patent CN202433554U is used as a mark for identification in air hole-assisted optical fiber, in which the surrounding air hole layers of a part of the core have different thickness or density from those of the air hole layers of other cores, but if the air hole density or thickness is not uniform, the air holes may collapse, crack, merge or disappear during drawing the optical fiber, resulting in structural defects and difficulty in identification of the optical fiber.
