Embodiment
Fig. 1 gives the cross sectional representation of porous optical fiber of the present invention, optical fiber comprises fibre core and covering, the alternately arrangement of the layered medium 1 of periodic distribution and air layer 2, arragement direction becomes θ/2 jiao with x-axis, to arrange in the position about x-axis symmetry identical structure, and form rock-steady structure by the medium pipe 3 in outside.Intersection is as the fibre core of optical fiber, and the medium pipe 3 in the layered medium 1 beyond intersection, air layer 2, outside and four large airports 4 are fibre cladding, overall in total internal reflection structure.Fibre core air fill factor, curve factor can be expressed as f
1=(Λ-d)
2/ Λ
2, the air fill factor, curve factor of covering laminate areas of dielectric is f
2=(Λ-d)/Λ, f
1<f
2, fibre core guided modes can effectively be strapped in fibre core.
Fill air in airport, refractive index is n
air=1.0, teflon elected as by the host material of optical fiber, its refractive index n=1.5, and material absorption loss elects 130dB/m as.
The absorption loss of basic mode is expressed as:
Wherein, Sz is the Poynting vector in z direction, and subscript x and total represents material area and overall area respectively.
Embodiment one:
As shown in Figure 1, during teflon width=20 μm of stratiform, periods lambda=60 μm, tetrafluoroethene pipe interior diameter is D=1400 μm to the structure of porous doped core optical fiber, and tetrafluoroethene circular tube thickness is D
1=200 μm.
Fig. 2 gives the change curve of birefringence with angle theta, as can be seen from Figure, when θ is 90
otime, birefringence is 0, and along with diminishing of θ angle, birefringence starts to increase, when θ=30
otime, birefringence can reach 0.072, the reason of high birefringence is caused to be to increase with the x-polarisation mould energy ratio in the material that diminishes at θ angle and y-polarisation mould energy ratio in the material reduces, this characteristic also causes the increase of x-polarisation mould absorption loss and the reduction of y-polarisation mould absorption loss, as shown in Figure 3.Fig. 4 gives the change of limitation loss with angle theta of two polarization modes, and along with the reduction of θ, the limitation loss change of x-polarisation mould is little, and close to zero loss, the limitation loss of y-polarisation mould increases, even if but be 30 at θ
otime, the limitation loss of y-polarisation mould is just only 0.0000027dB/cm, and this value is much smaller than the magnitude of absorption loss, little on total losses impact.Two polarization modes can be effectively limited in fibre core.
Because x-polarisation mould absorption loss increases with the reduction of θ, for obtaining low-loss birefringence fiber, require θ>=40 here
o.Birefringence reduces along with the increase of θ, for obtaining the optical fiber with high birefringence, requires θ≤70 here
o.
Fixed angle θ=40
o, birefringence with frequency change as shown in Figure 5, within the scope of 0.5-1.6THz, birefringence remains on 10
-2magnitude.Fig. 6 illustrates the change of absorption loss with frequency, along with the increase of frequency, the absorption loss of two polarization modes all increases, this is the reason because the distribution in the material of fibre core basic mode energy increases gradually, at 1.6THz place, x-polarisation mould absorption loss is 0.74dB/cm, and y-polarisation mould absorption loss is 0.57dB/cm.Fig. 7 illustrates the change of limitation loss with frequency, for x-polarisation mould, its limitation loss is almost close to zero loss, and for y-polarisation mould, only be less than the place of 0.7THz in frequency, its limitation loss just can increase gradually, therefore within the scope of 0.7-1.6THz, THz ripple can in this optical fiber low-loss transmission, and there is high birefringence characteristic.
Fixed angle θ=40
o, frequency is that 1THz, Fig. 8 give the change curve of birefringence with arrangement periods lambda, and along with the increase of Λ, Birefringence numbers first increases, and declines gradually after increasing to maximal value, even if but in Λ=110 μm place, birefringence value still can reach 0.62.The teflon width d of stratiform is constant, and Λ increases, then present air fill factor, curve factor f
1increase, thus absorption loss can reduce.Fig. 9 gives the change curve of absorption loss with arrangement periods lambda, and along with the increase of Λ, the absorption loss of two polarization modes all decreases.Figure 10 gives the change curve of limitation loss with arrangement periods lambda, and for x-polarisation mould, its mould energy ratio is in the material relatively many, and therefore its limitation loss changes hardly, and limitation loss is far below absorption loss, little on total losses impact.For y-polarisation mould, along with the increase of arrangement periods lambda, its limitation loss increases gradually, and μm place in Λ=110, the limitation loss of y-polarisation mould is 0.00132dB/cm, still two orders of magnitude less of limitation loss.
Here for keeping fibre core basic mode to have low limitation loss, requiring Λ≤110 μm, in addition for ensureing that fibre core basic mode has low absorption loss, requiring Λ >=60 μm.
μm periods lambda=60 μm, teflon width=20 of stratiform, angle θ=40
owhen frequency is 1THz, the electric field strength distribution plan of x-polarisation mould and y-polarisation mould is respectively by shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12, x-polarisation mould energy distribution proportion is in the material higher than y-polarisation mould as can be seen from Figure, therefore high birefraction can be obtained, x-polarisation mould and y-polarisation mould are effectively limited in fiber core and are transmitted simultaneously, and THz ripple transmits not by external environmental interference in a fiber, and this point is better than porous optical fiber.
Above-mentioned accompanying drawing is only explanatory view, does not form restriction to protection scope of the present invention.Should be understood that this embodiment just in order to demonstrate the invention, but not limit the scope of the invention by any way.
