Embodiment
Be described below in detail embodiments of the invention, the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, and wherein same or similar label represents same or similar element or has element that is identical or similar functions from start to finish.Be exemplary below by the embodiment be described with reference to the drawings, be intended to for explaining the present invention, and can not limitation of the present invention be interpreted as.
Fig. 1 is the structured flowchart of parallel optical fibre cladding light filtering device according to an embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, the optical fiber of the embodiment of the present invention, comprising: target filtering optical fiber 100 and Duo Gen parallel optical fibre 200.Wherein, many parallel optical fibres 200 with target filtering optical fiber 100 parallel and each other close contact arrange.
Particularly, in one embodiment of the invention, whole or the setting of segment section close contact of target filtering optical fiber 100 and Duo Gen parallel optical fibre 200.By welding or press attached mode close contact between many parallel optical fibres 200 and target filtering optical fiber 100.
In one embodiment of the invention, many parallel optical fibres 200 for having fibre core, not there is fibre core or there is the parallel optical fibre of fibre core in covering middle section.
Further, the parallel optical fibre cladding light filtering device of the embodiment of the present invention, also comprises: covering stripper 300, and it is for carrying out filtering to the covering in many parallel optical fibres 200, with the cladding light in filtering target filtering optical fiber 100.Process avoids optical fiber in fiber laser system directly to environment filtering cladding light, thus avoid owing to damaging the impact caused fiber laser system when traditional handicraft reaches power limit.
In one embodiment of the invention, covering stripper 300 carries out covering filtering to whole of many parallel optical fibres 200 or part.This mode can on very long fiber lengths little by little filtering cladding light, the filtering pressure dissipation by target filtering optical fiber goes on whole section of parallel optical fibre length.
In one embodiment of the invention, the refractive index of the covering of many parallel optical fibres 200 is more than or equal to the refractive index of the covering of target filtering optical fiber 100.
In one embodiment of the invention, the process of this parallel optical fibre cladding light filtering device filtering cladding light is: cladding light little by little enters 200 coverings of many parallel optical fibres by the covering of described target filtering optical fiber 100.Adopting cladding light stripper 300 to carry out covering filtering process to many parallel optical fibres 200 makes the cladding light in many parallel optical fibres 200 be dissipated in environment.
Below for a root object filtering optical fiber and a parallel optical fibre, illustrate that the cladding light filtering course of work of the optical fiber of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:
When after the close root object filtering optical fiber of refractive index and a parallel optical fibre contacted in parallel, contact here refers to the close contact state that external force clamps even welding.The light transmitted in two fibre claddings can enter mutually in the covering of the other side and propagate.After certain length, the cladding light transmitted in final two optical fiber is identical, and is the half of the cladding light summation propagated in original two optical fiber.Filtering process is carried out to this root parallel optical fibre simultaneously.Like this through a segment length, the cladding light in target filtering optical fiber constantly enters parallel optical fibre, again constantly from parallel optical fibre filtering to environment, thus achieves the cladding light filtering of target filtering optical fiber.This mode achieves above-mentioned filtering process and former optical fiber independently object.This process is simultaneously a process very slowly because the cladding light in target filtering optical fiber enters parallel optical fibre, which ensure that overall filtering is also a process very slowly.
Optical fiber such as shown in Fig. 2,1 is the parallel optical fibre that a process necessarily processes, and this optical fiber adopts the material identical with the covering 22 of target filtering optical fiber 21.Parallel optical fibre after treatment, 12,13 positions, have peeled off the coat of parallel optical fibre, make the covering of this root optical fiber out exposed in this section of region.The mode of index matching is adopted to configure traditional covering stripper on these two sections exposed fibre claddings.
Wherein, untreated fiber lengths does not illustrate in the drawings pro rata, and in the system of reality, untreated parallel optical fibre length is longer than the part needing configuration packet layer stripper through process far away.This is to ensure that the cladding light transmitted in target filtering optical fiber can have enough length to enter parallel optical fibre.The clad material of this root parallel optical fibre is in the present embodiment the same with the clad material of target filtering optical fiber, is the quartz pushrod not containing fibre core.
As shown in Figure 3,21 is target filtering optical fiber, and 22 is target filtering fibre cladding, and 3 for have employed the parallel optical fibre that certain technological means contacts with 2.Here mentioned technological means is after the coat divesting target filtering optical fiber and parallel optical fibre, by two close fiber optic laminatings.Use oxyhydrogen flame to carry out of short duration heating along fiber length simultaneously, make with on the basis of optical characteristics, it to be combined closely with parallel optical fibre not destroying target filtering optical fiber structure.24,25, be the covering stripper adopting traditional handicraft.26,27 is the close contact section of parallel optical fibre and target filtering optical fiber.Shown by arrow direction is the cladding light transmission direction in fibre system.28 are depicted as the recoat coating that the heavy coating processing of carrying out target filtering optical fiber and parallel optical fibre contact segment formed.Play the effect of clamping and fixed fiber.
When having cladding light to propagate in target filtering optical fiber, by the part of combining closely with parallel optical fibre, cladding light is constantly transferred in parallel optical fibre and is propagated.After certain length, the cladding light total amount transmitted in parallel optical fibre reaches the half in the former cladding light content of target optical fiber.Then through a filtering device, by this part of luminous energy filtering in environment.Constantly repeat this process, make the cladding light content transmitted in target filtering optical fiber level off to zero gradually.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, the parallel optical fibre 31 that a process necessarily processes, parallel optical fibre after treatment, whole section of optical fiber has carried out the process of covering hacking, makes the cladding light transmitted on this root optical fiber constantly to diffuse in environment.The material that the covering of this root optical fiber in the present embodiment adopts is consistent with the clad material of target filtering optical fiber, is the quartz pushrod not containing fibre core.32 is target filtering optical fiber, and 33 is target filtering fibre cladding, 31 on one section of fiber lengths with target filtering optical fiber 32 close contact.
When having cladding light to propagate in target filtering optical fiber, by the part of combining closely with parallel optical fibre, cladding light is constantly transferred in parallel optical fibre and is propagated.Meanwhile, the cladding light in parallel optical fibre, because fibre cladding surface is by hacking, constantly diffuses in environment and goes.After certain length, the cladding light content of the covering target filtering optical fiber of parallel optical fibre levels off to zero simultaneously.
According to the parallel optical fibre cladding light filtering device of the embodiment of the present invention, adopt the mode that parallel optical fibre contacts with target filtering close fiber optic, cladding light in target filtering optical fiber evenly and is lentamente diffused in environment go, this optical fiber is flexible large, filtering length is short, is convenient to control and safe filtering.
