Conversion of white light fiber illumination device on a kind of multicomponent glass
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber illumination device, more particularly to one kind can long-distance transmissions pump light excite rare earth doped
The multicomponent tellurate glass up-conversion luminescence optical fiber of ion, belongs to optical fibre illumination technical field.
Background technology
Lateral emitting optical fiber can apply to the illumination in the place for needing photodetachment such as inflammable, explosive, and this illumination
Do not disturbed by electromagnetism, can also be applied to nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, radar control room etc. has the Code in Hazardous Special Locations of electromagnetic shielding requirements, in addition
The illumination of great personalization can also be carried out, such as decorated, shown exterior feature etc., therefore fiber illumination device has certain practical value.
Lateral emitting optical fiber be optical fiber itself as luminous body, a flexible Rhizoma Dioscoreae (peeled) can be formed.Due to every kind of optical fiber material
There is different degrees of dispersion to transmission light in material, if directly transmitting visible ray, that is, be input into is the white light of broad band, with
The transmission of optical fiber, necessarily occurs the change of color.Therefore, this type optical fiber broad band of transmission at a distance typically relatively difficult to achieve is more
Mould white light, is not suitable for the Code in Hazardous Special Locations white-light illuminating for needing high color rendering index (CRI) yet.At present, most used by optical fibre illumination field
It is plastic optical fiber.In the optical fiber of unlike material, the cost of manufacture of plastic optical fiber is generally the least expensive, and often only silica fibre is fabricated to
This 1/10th.But any type of ultraviolet, can all cause the degraded of plastic optical fiber material and aging including daylight.Cause
This, it is necessary to develop a kind of emitting white light and non-aging novel illumination optical fiber.Multicomponent glass optical fiber is exactly this type,
Which can overcome the defect of plastic optical fiber, and have the gain bandwidth of several times higher than silica fibre and higher rare earth ion doped dense
Degree.
Typical lateral emitting optical fiber mainly has two kinds:A kind of have banding light scattering reflectance coating, wherein light scattering reflection
Film is attached in a part for the core periphery in core length direction, but light-diffusing reflection film generally has and caused by diffuse-reflectance
Low-transmittance;Another kind has optical scatter, the light being transmitted into from fibre core in clad in the clad of core periphery
Line is wrapped by layer scattering, then leaks.But as the reasons such as environmental vibration easily make core/covering in intersection genetic horizon point
From detached region light scattering reduces, and so as to cause the appearance of so-called " dark defect ", causes optical fiber uneven luminous.
(the TZN with tellurate as substrate involved in the present invention:TeO2-ZnO-Na2O) adulterate one or more rare earth ion
Multicomponent glass optical fiber, its variations in refractive index scope is more quartzy much bigger, has in visible ray and near infrared band higher saturating
Cross rate.And there is relatively low phonon energy due to multicomponent glass optical fiber so that some rare earth ions are sent out in telluric acid base status
Light efficiency is very high.Therefore, the white light illumination device that the multicomponent glass optical fiber based on tellurate host doped rare earth ion builds
It is expected to provide lighting source for Code in Hazardous Special Locations.

Specific embodiment
For making the purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and beneficial outcomes become more apparent, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and
The present invention will be further described referring to the drawings, but does not limit the scope of the invention.In addition, although the present invention is provided and included
The demonstration of the particular value of some parameters, it will be appreciated that these parameters are without the need for being definitely equal to corresponding value, but in certain error
Corresponding value is approximately equal in tolerance limit or design constraint.
The invention provides conversion of white light fiber illumination device on a kind of multicomponent glass, as shown in figure 1, the device includes
The laser instrument 1 of one 980nm for being used for providing pump light and its Transmission Fibers 2, fiber splitter 3,3dB power splitters 4 and be in
Spirally-wound multicomponent glass up-conversion luminescence optical fiber 5.Wherein:The light splitting way of fiber splitter 3 can be such as Fig. 2 institutes
