Background technology
Optical fibre mode converter be a kind of realize in the optical fiber not isotype between the device of conversion, in fields such as optical communication net and sensings important application is arranged.At present, multiple novel optical fiber structure is: the one, and the Bragg type optical fiber of employing photon band gap principle, the pattern that its loss is minimum is not the LP in the ordinary optic fibre
01Mould, but TE
01Mould.The 2nd, adopt high-order mode transmission realization dispersion compensation technology and convert basic mode to high-order mode, thereby realize big mould field, low-loss light transmission.Wherein, the modal mode converter that is based on fiber grating, but when adopting fiber grating, basic mode and the high-order mode that is converted to all are to transmit in same optical fiber, therefore, if fiber grating can not be realized basic mode absolutely is converted to high-order mode, then in optical fiber, will there be remaining basic mode energy in optical fiber, to transmit, these dump energies will be disturbed the light signal generating of transmission, thereby influence the performance of device.In addition, though higher conversion efficiency greater than 99% is arranged between this fiber grating pattern, its bandwidth of operation is very narrow, is about several nanometers.And draw the full optical fibre mode converter form can be realized High Extinction Ratio in the very wide scope of bandwidth mode switch based on the photonic crystal fiber fusion technology, but that this device requires aspect manufacture craft is very high, and be difficult to the realization batch process.
Application number is 200810021652.8, and name is called " a kind of optical fibre mode converter " and discloses a kind of mode converter based on asymmetric double-core photonic crystal fiber, and this mode converter is by making the basic mode (LP of a fibre core
01) and the high-order mode (LP of another fibre core
02) the method that equates of effective refractive index realize efficient coupling between basic mode and the high-order mode, promptly utilize the conversion of coupling implementation pattern, the Polarization Dependent Loss of this mode converter is little and can realize batch process, but its defective is: the effective refractive index curve of two patterns can only intersect on a Frequency point in this structure, at other Frequency point place, because the effective refractive index of two patterns is unequal, be that both phase places do not match, according to coupled wave theory as can be known, can only realize the coupling of part, this has just directly caused the decline of conversion efficiency, owing to the effective refractive index between two patterns can only mate in a very narrow band frequency scope, therefore its bandwidth of operation is narrower, has only 14nm.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is at the deficiencies in the prior art, propose a kind of novel broadband mode converter based on the asymmetric double core photonic crystal fiber, can realization work in very wide bandwidth range.
The technical solution used in the present invention is: be made up of host material and distribution hole thereon, every three adjacent holes constitute an equilateral triangle grid, and the center in each hole lays respectively on the node of equilateral triangle grid, the airport that lacks in equilateral triangle grid forms fibre core, is distributed in the dielectric rod that seven refractive indexes on the equilateral triangle grid node are lower than host material and forms fibre core; Airport around the fibre core innermost layer is three macropores and three apertures, and the diameter of macropore is greater than the diameter of aperture, and these three macropores and three apertures are spaced and are distributed in successively on each node of triangular mesh, and the inner air hole of next-door neighbour's fibre core is an aperture.
