Description

Micro-nano structure D shape optical fiber and preparation method and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to the photoelectron technology field, be specifically related to a kind of preparation technology and application of novel micro nanometer structure D shape optical fiber.This invention has proposed to control through preparation technology's flow process and parameter that nano impression is transferred to D shape optical fiber plane with the micro-nano structure on the template, and this D shape optical fiber specifically is applied to fields such as sensing, communication, integrated optics.
Background technology
Refractive index cycle property modulated structure more and more receives the attention of optical communication and sensory field in recent years.They can form Prague forbidden band relevant with period of change, in the transmission course of light wave, play reflex.Before half a century; The physicist just knows; Electronics in the crystal (like semiconductor) is owing to receive periodicity potential (periodic potential) scattering of lattice; Partly wave band can form energy gap (energy gap) because of destruction interference, causes the dispersion relation (dispersion relation) of electronics to be zonal arrangement, and this is famous electronic band structure (electronic band structures).By 1987; E.Yablonovitch and S.John coincidentally point out; Similar phenomenon also is present in the photonic system: be in the three-dimensional dielectric material of periodic arrangement at dielectric coefficient, electromagnetic wave is after the dielectric function scattering, and the electromagnetic intensity of some wave band can be exponential damping because of destruction interference; Can't in system, transmit; Be equivalent on frequency spectrum, form energy gap, so dispersion relation also has banded structure, this is so-called photonic band structures (photonic band structures).Dielectric material with photonic band structures just is called photonic band-gap system (photonic band-gap system is called for short the PBG system), or is called for short photonic crystal (photonic crystals).Layered periodic structure just is being based on that the concept development of photonic crystal gets up, and the application fast development based on Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (fiber Bragg gratings) has in recent years proved the importance of layered periodic structure at optical communication and sensory field especially.
On optical fiber, making micro-nano structure such as Bragg grating has multiple use, for example utilizes the variations in refractive index of evanescent field testing environment medium, thereby monitors character such as its chemical concentrations and pH value.Compare characteristics such as this Fibre Optical Sensor with micro-nano structure has remote distributed sensor, on-line measurement, simplicity of design, volume is little and cost is low with traditional sensors.But the ordinary optic fibre xsect is circular; Make the structure difficulty on its surface big, and architecture quality is difficult to be guaranteed, and the structure and the distance between the sandwich layer that are produced on simultaneously on the fibre cladding are bigger; The evanescent field insufficient strength all can be influential to the sensitivity and the accuracy of sensing measurement.For evanescent field intensity is increased; Then need the covering of optical fiber be corroded, reduce the thickness of covering, perhaps optical fiber is ground; Wherein simultaneously polishing of covering become D shape plane; Optical fiber will have more energy to leak in the external environment like this, stronger evanescent field occur, make the change of surrounding medium can directly have influence on the variation of each parameter of light field.A kind of like this ordinary optic fibre is ground, just be called D shape optical fiber thereby change the special optical fiber that its shape of cross section and structure change the basic mode transport property.
D shape optical fiber is a kind of through grinding or corroding method change ordinary optic fibre (comprising single-mode fiber and multimode optical fiber) shape of cross section and structure, thereby changes the special optical fiber of basic mode transport property.Shown in Fig. 1 a, the cladding diameter of former ordinary optic fibre is 2r, and single-mode fiber still is that its cladding diameter of multimode optical fiber all is 125 microns usually; Be called D shape plane through grinding its section of back to become the shape of alphabetical " D ", radius-of-curvature be 3r to the one side of ∞; The fiber core layer diameter is 2a, is generally 3 ~ 10 microns for single-mode fiber, and multimode optical fiber is 50 ~ 65 microns, and representative value is 50 microns and 62.5 microns; D is the distance from the sandwich layer center to D shape plane, is generally 5 to 15 microns.There is stronger evanescent field at place, D shape plane, and Fig. 1 b is seen in its distribution, and more common circular fiber significantly strengthens.
Than arcwall face, to make structure in the flat one side of D shape optical fiber and become easily, the quality of structure also is guaranteed.Therefore explore easy, on D shape optical fiber, make micro-nano structure efficiently and realize that the method for the micro-nano structure of refractive index cycle property modulation has realistic meanings and using value widely.
Still there is not at present any report that utilizes stamping technique to realize micro-nano structure D shape optical fiber preparation.With the micro-nano structure grating is example: on ordinary optic fibre, people mainly make the micro-nano structure grating through following two kinds of methods: phase mask method and point-to-point writing method.1., the phase mask method will be carved good figure mask with electron beam exposure and placed on the optical fiber; Utilize phase mask compacting Zero-order diffractive to strengthen the function of first-order diffraction; Positive and negative first-order diffraction spectral line forms interference fringe after making ultraviolet light through the mask phase modulation (PM) on optical fiber, and be the half the Bragg grating of mask cycle write cycle.The weak point of this method is only to be applicable to periodic structure, is difficult to realize the preparation of complex pattern, and mask fabrication complex process, cost are high.2., point-to-point writing method is to utilize precision mechanism control fiber optics displacement, exposure inscription one by one.This method can realize the preparation of arbitrary graphic pattern, the accurate displacement device but the complicated focus optical of needs is unified, and cost is high, and efficient is low.Therefore, invent a kind of low cost, the high efficiency method that can on D shape optical fiber plane, prepare the grating micro-nano structure has significant values.
When more various preparation micro-nano structures technological, some key indexs, for example resolution, pattern precision, production efficiency and preparation cost etc. all are important Scheme Choice standards.Be tending towards resolution limit gradually in traditional photoetching (photolithography) technology; In the process that various emerging technologies such as optical interference and beam flying etc. continue to bring out, nano impression (nanoimprint lithography) technology that proposes at first by the S.Chou of Princeton University etc. with its low cost, high resolving power, be easy to realize that inherent advantage such as large tracts of land structure preparation has got into everybody sight line.And unique soft impression (soft lithography) technology also is very significant in the advantage of irregular contour surface micro-structure aspect preparing in the nanometer embossing; Therefore; Prepare various artificial micro-nano structures with nanometer embossing; Especially optical micro/nano structure such as preparation grating etc. has become the direction that academia and industrial community are extremely paid close attention on microsize irregular contour objects such as optical fiber, has good industry development prospect.We are incorporated into nanometer embossing in the middle of the making of micro-nano structure D shape optical fiber just, have started a kind of high precision, low cost, high efficiency technology of preparing.
This technology all has very application prospects in fields such as optical communication, light sensing and integrated opticss.Such as being used to make dispersion compensation sheet, rejection filter, wavelength selector spare, network monitoring, Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), non-linear raman amplifier, fiber laser, semiconductor laser; Polarization-modulating type sensor, phase modulation-type sensor, chemical sensor, temperature sensor, pressure transducer; Optical waveguide wavelength-selective switches and light-emitting component, light holographic memory, optical waveguide are directly write or the like.These devices need quick, efficient, compact optics usually.In conventional device; These opticses all are the body block parts; Need be with being optically coupled in these parts in the optical fiber, play after the respective action again coupling and get back in the optical fiber, the D shape optical fiber that has an artificial micro-nano structure then can be directly and the ordinary optic fibre welding; Realize full optical fibre device, and do not need corresponding body block part.
