Background technology
Rare earth doped fiber amplifier or laser instrument adopt doped rare earth element (Nd, Sm, Ho, Er, Pr, Tm, Yb etc.) ion optical fiber, utilize stimulated radiation mechanism to realize the direct amplification of light.
The absorption cross section of every kind of rare earth element and emission cross section are all inequality, cause the operation wavelength of corresponding optical fiber also different.For example, the neodymium-doped fiber operation wavelength is 1000-1150nm, 1320-1400nm; Er-doped fiber operation wavelength 550nm, 850nm, 980-1000nm, 1500-1600nm, 1660nm, 1720nm, 2700nm; The Yb dosed optical fiber operation wavelength is 970-1040nm; Mixing thorium fiber work wavelength is 455nm, 480nm, 803-825nm, 1460-1510nm, 1700-2015nm, 2250-2400nm; Mixing praseodymium fiber work wavelength is 490nm, 520nm, 601-618nm, 631-641nm, 707-725nm, 880-886nm, 902-916nm, 1060-1110nm, 1260-1350nm; Mixing holmium fiber work wavelength is 550nm, 753nm, 1380nm, 2040-2080nm, 2900nm.Mixing samarium fiber work wavelength is 651nm, mixes the rare earth ion of different glass matrixs, and its gain bandwidth (GB) and character are also variant.The Er-doped fiber of pure silicon optical fiber glass matrix for example, its 1500nm gain half-wave spectrum width is 7.94nm, and the Er-doped fiber of aluminium phosphorus silicon optical fiber glass matrix, its 1500nm gain half-wave spectrum width is 43.3nm[W.J.Miniscalco.Optical andelectronic properties of rare-earth ions in glasses in rare-earth doped fiber lasers andamplifier.NewYork:Marcel Dekker.2001, pp:17-112].Existing doubly clad optical fiber or for singly mixing rare earth perhaps is double rare-earth-mixed.Even double rare-earth-mixed optical fiber, also be to utilize the absorption cross section difference of two kinds of doped rare earth elements to pumping source, and two kinds of element energy levels interactions that distance is very near, realize a kind of doped rare earth element absorptive pumping power, the purpose that another kind of element is excited to amplify is as erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber.Therefore, existing doubly clad optical fiber amplifying signal bandwidth has only tens nm usually, and when will amplifying different wavelength signals, and the wavelength interval just need dispose different doubly clad optical fibers respectively when surpassing 100nm, carries out the signal merging again, and complex structure and cost are very high.
Summary of the invention
Can only amplify very narrow wavelength coverage in order to overcome existing traditional double cladded-fiber, the invention provides a kind of single-core multiple rare-earth-doped ion region double-clad optical fiber and preparation method thereof.
The objective of the invention is to be achieved through the following technical solutions:
Single-core multiple rare-earth-doped ion region double-clad optical fiber, its sandwich layer comprise N independent rare-earth-doped ion region, and the integer of 2≤N≤20 wherein has the rare-earth ion-doped type difference in two districts at least in this N rare-earth-doped ion region.
Rare-earth ion-doped type comprises that neodymium ion, erbium ion, ytterbium ion, thorium ion, praseodymium ion, holmium ion, samarium ion, neodymium ytterbium mix ion, erbium and ytterbium codoping ion altogether.
The method for making of single-core multiple rare-earth-doped ion region double-clad optical fiber may further comprise the steps:
According to the single-core fiber that above-mentioned steps is made, has the rare-earth ion-doped type difference of the prefabricated rods of two doubly clad optical fibers at least.
