Abstract
The invention discloses a single crystal fiber with Bragg structure cladding and a manufacturing method thereof and in particular relates to a design of a cladding structure of a single crystal optical fiber, belonging to the field of specific fibers. The invention discloses a single crystal fiber with a phase step refraction index cladding and a manufacturing method thereof. The single crystal fiber comprises a single crystal fiber core (1) and a Bragg structure cladding which surrounds the single fiber core and is formed by radially and alternately distributing a material layer (2) and a material layer (3) of two different refraction indexes, wherein each material layer comprises 10 to 20 layers. The fiber manufacturing method is characterized in that the materials of two different refraction indexes are alternately deposited to form a structure the high-refraction-index layers and the low-refraction-index layers of which are distributed radially and alternately by using an MCVD (modified chemical vapor deposition) method. The alternately distributed structure is reduced through heating and stretching so as to wrap the single crystal core finally so that the Bragg structure cladding is formed.
