Embodiment
(fibre bundle, light supply apparatus)
With reference to accompanying drawing, the light supply apparatus of an embodiment that the present invention relates to is described.Fig. 1 is the perspective cross-sectional slice of the structure of expression light supply apparatus of present embodiment and fibre bundle.Fig. 1 example the fibre bundle that 12 optical fiber are gathered, in Fig. 1, the ratio of each several part has been carried out suitable change in order to be easy to discern.
As shown in Figure 1, the light supply apparatus 2 of present embodiment has: fibre bundle 1; A plurality of light sources 20; With light incident unit 21, make each light incident side 31 of a plurality of optical fiber 30 that incides the aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 of fibre bundle 1 from the incident light L1 of a plurality of light source 20 outgoing.Light supply apparatus 2 makes the incident light L1 from a plurality of light sources 20 gather and outgoing by fibre bundle 1.
In the present embodiment, light incident unit 21 is single core SC connectors, to be arranged on the connector box 22 with the identical number of light source 20 numbers.Other parts except the part of light exit side 62 sides of up-winding fiber bundle 1 in connector box 22, the light incident side 31 of a plurality of optical fiber 30 of the aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 of formation fibre bundle 1 is connected to each SC connector.
The part of light exit side 62 sides of the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6 of the fibre bundle 1 that is covered by protection tube 60 is stretched out from the optical emission exit 23 of connector box 22, and FC sleeve pipe 63 is installed on light exit side 62.
Fibre bundle 1 has the 1st fibre bundle portion 5 and the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6.Described the 1st fibre bundle portion 5 has: aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, a plurality of optical fiber 30 are arranged bunchy in light exit side 32 1 sides, and gather outgoing so that incide a plurality of incident light L1 of a plurality of optical fiber 30 respectively; With average active optical fiber portion 4, possesses the optical fiber 40 that makes from the emergent light equalization ground outgoing of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3.Described the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6 arranges bunchy with the average function optical fiber portion 4 of a plurality of the 1st fibre bundle portions 5 in light exit side 42 1 sides, so that gather outgoing from the emergent light of a plurality of the 1st fibre bundle portions 5.
The a plurality of optical fiber 30 in aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6 and the bundle of average function optical fiber portion 4, by with optical fiber with required arranged in patterns after, make with adhesive.Preferably have and the heat resisting temperature of the light source correspondence used as bonding agent.When the heat resisting temperature that requires surpasses 300 ℃, use the heat-resistant adhesive of mineral-type.
The light exit side 32 of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and the light incident side 41 of average active optical fiber portion 4 are inserted into respectively among sleeve pipe (ferrule) 30a, the 40a (omitting diagram among Fig. 1), utilize the optical conenctor butt via protective medium 51 in sleeve 50 (holding member).Therefore, aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4 can load and unload.The butt pressure of abutting part is preferably 4.9N~11.8N.
Two end faces that are inserted into sleeve pipe 30a and 40a are by attrition process, and its end surface shape does not have especially and limits so long as connect the few shape of loss and get final product, comprise that hemisphere is planar, plane etc.During as sleeve pipe 30a and 40a use SC sleeve pipe, can use the SC connector as sleeve 50.
Fig. 2 is the amplification sectional view of abutting part of the light incident side 41 of the light exit side 32 of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 of Fig. 1 and average active optical fiber portion 4, and Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of the light-incident end 41a of the light exit side face 32a of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 of Fig. 1 and average active optical fiber portion 4.As shown in Figure 3, the optical fiber 40 of average function optical fiber portion 4 is at least at light-incident end 41a, has the core 41r of the equal above size of light outgoing zone 32r among the light exit side face 32a with aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3.By described structure, all emergent lights that average function optical fiber portion 4 receives from aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, and outgoing fifty-fifty.
The material of a plurality of optical fiber 30 is not particularly limited, and comprises with SiO 2, quartz is the category of glass optical fiber etc. of major component, can select suitable material according to the wavelength of incident light L1.The kind of optical fiber is not particularly limited, and considers the application to light source etc., preferred multimode optical fiber.
A plurality of optical fiber 30 constitute aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, and therefore in order to gather more to high-density, preferably its fibre diameter is thinner footpath.But, the more thin footpathization of optical fiber, it is difficult more to handle, and fiber lengths is from the angle of difficult treatment, the rate that manufactures a finished product, and it is short also to have to, and has the restriction on these design freedoms.And as described in the background technology, the cable processing of the fibre bundle after very thin optical fiber high density gathered is difficulty very.Therefore, preferred as far as possible formation by the thick optical fiber of diameter gathers structure.The fibre bundle 1 of present embodiment is that the secondary that average function optical fiber portion 4 further bunchys gather is gathered structure, and this average function optical fiber portion 4 makes the average outgoing of emergent light from aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3.Therefore, when the light quantity that requires was determined, this secondary gathers structure to be compared with the common single structure that gathers, and the number of the optical fiber that once gathers can be less.That is, compare, can form the fibre bundle portion 3 that gathers by bigbore optical fiber with the single structure that gathers.For example, gather under the structure single, when gathering the optical fiber about external diameter 50 μ m, in structure shown in Figure 1, can make external diameter is about 80 μ m.If have the fibre diameter of this degree, then fiber lengths can be about tractable 50cm~1m.
And, when the optical fiber number of gathering for a long time, when for example surpassing 20, be difficult for handling, the amount of employed bonding agent is easy to generate inequality when therefore making the optical fiber bunchy, because of this bonding inequality, exert an influence when grinding the light exit side face of fibre bundle, may make the grinding state instability.As mentioned above, fibre bundle 1 can reduce the number of the optical fiber that gathers in aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, therefore can be difficult to produce bonding inequality.Further, at the requirement of the densification of aggregation degree, be multistage structure by making following aggregation function fibre bundle portion, can make one to gather radical when keeping the radical of the easy property handled, improve aggregation degree.
In aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, the Pareto diagram of a plurality of optical fiber 30 is not particularly limited, but if Fig. 4 (a) and (b) shown in concentric circles combine closely (two-dimentional shape) and during the arrangement of bunchy, be easy to make the optical fiber bunchy in thin footpath, thereby preferred.Final outgoing pattern is by the decision of the Pareto diagram of the average function optical fiber portion 4 in the light exit side 62 of the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6, therefore in fibre bundle 1, can be by the arrangement of the concentric circles easily gathered bunchy.
Average function optical fiber portion 4 is made of a root multimode fiber 40, its material is not particularly limited, owing to being the average outgoing of emergent light that makes from the aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 that a plurality of optical fiber 30 bunchys are constituted, therefore preferably with the optical fiber of a plurality of optical fiber 30 same materials.
As mentioned above, aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 has gathered thin footpath optical fiber, so high density because of difficult treatment, can't make fiber lengths oversize when gathering.Average function optical fiber portion 4 makes the emergent light of the aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 of free a plurality of optical fiber formations, by the interference that makes the light that the optical fiber 40 that is made of multimode optical fiber produces in the leaded light process, the interaction between the pattern etc., and outgoing fifty-fifty, so the length of optical fiber 40 is preferably longer.Therefore, can adjust the fibre bundle entire length by average function optical fiber portion.Consider the light loss in the leaded light, the length of fibre bundle 40 is preferably below the above 5m of 10cm, below the further preferred above 5m of 1m.
Emergent light from average function optical fiber portion 4 is measured its intensity distributions by near-sighted wild pattern, evenness higher (with reference to Figure 15 (a) of embodiment 1).Therefore, even the structure of the 1st fibre bundle portion 5 is only arranged, also can provide the high fibre bundle of evenness of emergent light.
The light exit side of fibre bundle 1 is the light exit side 62 of the 2nd fibre bundle portion 6.Therefore, can change according to the arrangement of the optical fiber 40 of the average function optical fiber portion 4 in the light exit side 62 from the outgoing pattern of the emergent light L2 of fibre bundle 1.The example of the Pareto diagram of Fig. 5 (a)~(d) expression optical fiber 40.
For example, when long four jiaos catoptrons were all used as radiation source, as Fig. 5 (a) or (b), the Pareto diagram arrangement optical fiber 40 of combining closely with the one dimension shape got final product.Only with thin footpath optical fiber gather Fig. 5 (a) or (b) shown in pattern the time, difficult because of handling, be easy to become the many outgoing patterns of inactive area, consequently, be easy to become the light source of evenness difference.As mentioned above, the fibre bundle 1 of present embodiment, it in aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 arrangement of the concentric circles easily gathered, be required arrangement and bunchy by the optical fiber 40 that makes the big average function optical fiber portion 4 of tractable bore, can form the outgoing pattern, therefore make simply, but and the good light of outgoing evenness.
And, shown in Fig. 5 (d), under the situations of leaving such as a plurality of light of outgoing position outgoing, in each eye point, but the high light of outgoing evenness.
Fibre bundle 1 is the structure that aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4 pass through the optical conenctor butt.Therefore, be easy to load and unload aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4.Existing single gathering under the situations such as structure, constitute in a plurality of optical fiber of fibre bundle, during when producing fault or function reduction for one or as the specification change of light source, must change according to each fibre bundle, also need to proofread and correct when the time comes with location matches that makes optical element from the emergent light incident of fibre bundle etc. etc.The fibre bundle 1 of present embodiment can only load and unload aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and replace, and the average function optical fiber portion 4 with position coupling such as optical element is safeguarded movably.For example, shown in Fig. 5 (d), make 2 whiles luminous and incide respectively under the situation of other optical systems, when hope is set emergent light intensity, wavelength etc. according to each point, aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 in the 1st fibre bundle portion 4 that each point connects is changed to the specification coupling to get final product, therefore need not to carry out when the time comes each point to the position adjustment of optical system etc., can freely change from the characteristic of the light of each point outgoing.
But, the applicant confirms: in fibre bundle 1, to the big light of energy density, when particularly the short-wavelength light below the 450nm carries out leaded light or when being used to remove the UV cleaning of polluter of exit end of optical fiber, in abutting part, constituent material (quartzy, the SiO of the light-incident end 41a of the light exit side face 32a of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4 2Deng) produce some reaction and paste, when separating afterwards, the part breakage of stickup, light loss increase, and further become the state that can not re-use.When producing the end face breakage because of loading and unloading like this, can't load and unload.
After Fig. 6 represents optical fiber and glass carried out the UV cleaning, make the cross section and the glass butt of this optical fiber, placed the bearing surface of the optical fiber 80 after about 100 hours with the load of about 500g.The 81st, covering, the 82nd, core.The 89th, clean the back and make the quartz that contains in optical fiber 80 and the glass, the place that oxide reacts by butt, extruding optical fiber 80 and glass (omitting diagram), be the incorporate part of optical fiber 80 and glass.When the point of response was integrated, when optical fiber 80 and glass were left, the point of response was subjected to very macrolesion, and perhaps the point of response is attached to the cross section of optical fiber 80 or on glass.In addition, the surface roughness Ra=2[nm of the optical fiber before the butt].This phenomenon also takes place when making the optical fiber butt by optical conenctor.And above-mentioned phenomenon is at surface roughness Ra<5[nm] time is easy to take place, further is easy to take place when the light to the big short wavelength of energy density carries out leaded light.
Fig. 7 represents to make the damage of the outgoing end face of the glass optical fiber 80 when leaving behind the laser of light exit side face, irradiation 500 hours wavelength 405nm, output 150mW of the glass optical fiber 80 of glass butt external diameter 80 μ m, core diameter 60 μ m.In Fig. 7, white point partly is the damaged place, back that sustains damage.
From Fig. 6, Fig. 7 as can be known; under the situation of the light that energy density is high as the light source use; for example incident light L1 is the light time of wavelength 190nm~530nm; preferably make protective medium 51 between light exit side 32 and light incident side 41, this protective medium 51 is used to suppress light incident side 41 bonding of the light exit side 32 of aggregation function fibre bundle 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4.Situation when below explanation protective medium 51 is film body.
Diaphragm (protective medium) the 51st, the film body of film forming on the light-incident end 41a of average function optical fiber portion 4 is used to suppress light incident side 41 bonding of the light exit side 32 of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4.Diaphragm 51 directly film forming also can pass through the auxiliary film film forming on light-incident end 41a.
Diaphragm 51 is used to prevent above-mentioned phenomenon, therefore preferably in aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average function optical fiber portion 4 by with quartzy, SiO 2When constituting, when making their physics butts at normal temperatures, can suppress the bonding of light exit side 32 and light incident side 41 Deng the glass material that is major component.Therefore, as diaphragm 51, preferably make the SiO that contains in aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and the average function optical fiber portion 4 2, quartz be not easy to react, the light of wavelength 190nm~530nm is presented the film of inertia, for example contain the film of fluoride.As fluoride, preferred oxygen-free (O) further preferably from by YF 3, LiF, MgF 2, NaF, LaF 3, BaF 2, CaF 2, and AlF 3At least a fluoride of selecting among the group who constitutes.These fluorides are inertia with respect to the light of wavelength 190nm~410nm, and are relatively poor with respect to its activity degree of wavelength of 410nm~530nm.And along with wavelength is elongated, its energy density diminishes, and therefore also can form excellent protection film 51 to the light of the wavelength more than the 410nm.
Diaphragm 51 is monofilm, also multilayer film.When being multilayer film, above-mentioned material is contained in the superiors of preferred diaphragm 51, and the lower membrane beyond the superiors' film preferably contains the oxide that does not contain Si.
Further, the light loss that the existence of preferred diaphragm 51 causes is the smaller the better, therefore preferred light wavelength light absorption less material to leaded light.Various fluoride films when Fig. 8 represents to use the pulse laser of wavelength 248nm and the absorption coefficient of oxidation film and the relation of its damage threshold (are quoted " High damage threshold fluoride UV mirrors made by Ion BeamSputtering ", J.Dijion, et., al., SPIE vol.3244, pp406-418,1998).Therefore from this chart as can be known, with respect to ultraviolet light, the damage threshold of fluoride films is bigger, from the angle of light absorption, as diaphragm 51 preferred fluorinated things.Further, when the light of guided wave is ultraviolet light, shown in chart, in fluoride films, YF 3, LiF etc. damage threshold bigger, the preferred use.
Diaphragm 51 by above-mentioned structure; when carrying out the UV cleaning when light of the big light of energy density, for example wavelength 190nm~530nm is carried out leaded light or for two end faces that prevent abutting part produce the pollution that organism cause; can prevent the chemical reaction in the abutting part of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4, suppress the damage of abutting part.For example, when leaving after the load crimping of abutting part with (more preferably 500g following) below the above 1kg of 50g, the damage of abutting part can be restricted to bottom line, aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3 and average active optical fiber portion 4 can re-use, and just can load and unload.
In the present embodiment, diaphragm 51 film forming on the light-incident end 41a of average function optical fiber portion 4, but but also film forming is on the light exit side face 32a of aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3, or film forming is at light-incident end 41a and light exit side face 32a on both.
Diaphragm 51 preferably can not peeled off from the end face of film forming when loading and unloading average function optical fiber portion 4 and aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3.Therefore, diaphragm 51 is on any one of light exit side face 32a or light-incident end 41a during film forming, and film forming has the connecting airtight property of the end face of diaphragm 51 and diaphragm 51 to be preferably greater than the connecting airtight property that film forming not has the end face and the diaphragm 51 of diaphragm 51.And when two end face film forming, film forming has the connecting airtight property of the end face of diaphragm 51 and diaphragm 51 to be preferably greater than connecting airtight property between the film of two end face film forming.Further, when diaphragm 51 was multilayer film, equally preferably connecting airtight property was high between the film of formation multilayer film.
The light loss that the existence of diaphragm 51 causes also is subjected to the thickness influence except the influence of the material that is subjected to said protection film 51.Therefore, the thickness that preferably light loss do not exerted an influence of the thickness of diaphragm 51.As the main cause of the light loss in the diaphragm 51, comprise and reflect the loss that produces, the loss that reaches the absorption generation.Therefore, the thickness of diaphragm 51 is preferably considered to reflect and absorb to the influence of light loss and is determined.
For the minimization of loss that reflection is produced; when film forming has diaphragm 51 on any one of the light class origin end face 32a of the light-incident end 41a of average function optical fiber portion 4 or aggregation function fibre bundle portion 3; optical path length (d * the N of the optical guided wave direction of diaphragm 51; wherein d is the thickness of optical guided wave direction, and N is the refractive index of diaphragm 51) and preferably satisfied following formula (1) by the light wavelength λ of leaded light.
d×N=(λ/2)×n …(1)
(wherein n is the integer more than 1)
At light-incident end 41a and light exit side face 32a when film forming has diaphragm 51 on both, when the diaphragm 51 of film forming had same refractive index on both, in formula (1), d was that the total film thickness of diaphragm 51 gets final product.But, on both during film forming, between the diaphragm of film forming on two end faces, not reacting or integrated etc. because of butt in order to make, the diaphragm 51 of film forming preferably is positioned at the most surperficial the superiors at least and is made of different materials on each end face.In this case, the thickness of the diaphragm 51 of the last film forming of light exit side 32a is d f, same refractive index is N f, the thickness of the diaphragm 51 of film forming is d on light incident side 41a g, same refractive index is N gThe time, preferably satisfy following formula (2).
(d f×N f)+(d g×N g)=(λ/2)×n …(2)
(wherein n is the integer more than 1)
Absorb the loss that produces in order to reduce, diaphragm 51 preferred thickness are thinner.The luminous energy of the big more film of thickness absorbs big more, so diaphragm 51 degenerates because of the energy heat that absorbs, and is easy to produce the variable color of accompanying with it, crackle etc.Therefore, preferred n is 1 in above-mentioned formula (1) and (2).But, according to the influence degree that absorbs loss, to compare with the influence of reflection, the influence of absorption is bigger.At this moment, in above-mentioned formula (1) and (2), under the thin thickness of the thickness than n=1 the time, can reduce light loss.
In order to study the preferred thickness of diaphragm 51, produce light device shown in Figure 9 90, the light output of the emergent light when measure using the diaphragm 51 of different thickness through the time change.As shown in the figure, light device 90 is made of optical fiber 91a, 911b, sleeve pipe 92a, 92b, sleeve 93 etc., makes the optical fiber 91a, the 91b that are inserted in each sleeve pipe diaphragm 51 butts via thickness d in sleeve 93.In bearing surface, the end of sleeve pipe is ground to hemisphere planar, and diaphragm 51 film forming are on the end face of optical fiber 91a one side.
Use the light device 90 of the thickness d of diaphragm 51 as λ/2, λ/4, λ/6, when measuring laser with wavelength 405nm, output 160mW and inciding optical fiber 91a, from the light output of the emergent light of optical fiber 91b through the time change.The film build method of diaphragm 51 uses vapour deposition method.Figure 10 is the figure of this measurement result of expression, and the longitudinal axis is represented the ratio of the output valve of emergent light with respect to the output valve of incident light.At this moment, laser is by the zone of the about 60 μ m of diameter in each film.
As shown in figure 10, d is more little for thickness, the light output decline few more (being that light loss is few more) of emergent light.And, during with each diaphragm 51 after the microscopic examination experiment, do not find the appearance change of the film of d=λ/6 substantially, but the film of d=λ/4 and λ/2 has been confirmed the variable color of laser by the zone of part.Further, the film of d=λ/2 has been confirmed the crackle of film at the periphery of variable color part.The variable color of seeing in the film of d=λ/2 and d=λ/4 is considered to because the fusion of the film that the heat of laser causes (heat is degenerated) causes.According to this result, thickness d is big more, and film is big more to the energy absorption of laser, and is membranous because of this absorption changes, and it is big that light loss becomes.
And, Figure 11 represent to make the thickness of diaphragm 51 be the MgF2 film of d=λ/6 and λ/12 the same with said determination measure the light loss value through the time result that changes.The film forming of diaphragm 51 is undertaken by the ion auxiliary law.As shown in figure 11, in the film of d=λ/6 and d=λ/12, the variation pattern of light output is basic identical, and the rate of descent of the light output of the emergent light after 1000 hours is all less than 10%.
According to this result; be under the situation of laser of wavelength 405nm, output 160mW at diaphragm 51 for the light of MgF2 film, incident; in the influence to light loss; compare with the influence of reflection; the influence that absorbs is bigger; if the thickness d of diaphragm 51 is that λ/below 6, the rate of descent of the light of the emergent light after 1000 hours output is controlled less than 10%, and is comparatively preferred.
Reflection to the influence of light loss and absorb to the ratio of the influence of light loss because of the output of laser, wavelength, and the material of diaphragm 51 different; have the situation that is preferably the thickness when satisfying formula (1) or formula (2), also having preferred thickness d is the following situations in λ/6.Therefore but the energy density of the light of wavelength 190nm~530nm is bigger, is preferably λ/below 6 though also depend on output, the thickness d of diaphragm 51.In addition, in abutting part, at light-incident end and light gasing surface when film forming has diaphragm 51 on both, thickness is the total (d=df+dg) of thickness of the diaphragm 51 of film forming on both.
The film build method of diaphragm 51 but for the light loss at the interface between the end face that reduces diaphragm 51 and film forming, can carry out by the film build method of the cleaning of film forming face before the preferred film forming without limits.And the compactness of film is high more, and the membranous variation that the energy absorption of the light of diaphragm 51 itself causes when making the big optical guided wave of optical energy density is few more, but therefore preferred film forming is the film build method of finer and close film.But as cleaning by film forming face and film forming before the film forming is the high film build method of compactness, comprises ion auxiliary law, ion cladding process, sputtering method etc.
Figure 12 represents to use the diaphragm 51 (MgF2 film) of thickness λ/6 of vapour deposition method and each method film forming of ion auxiliary law, the same with said determination measure the light loss value through the time result that changes.As shown in figure 12, compare with vapour deposition method, when using the diaphragm 51 by ion auxiliary law film forming, the decline of light output is less, therefore preferred the use.
