Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of the little stressed zone bow-tie fiber prefabricated rods for reversing, is the committed step manufacturing circular birefringent fiber.
Background technology
In recent years, all-fiber current transformator is large with its dynamicrange, bandwidth, flexible for installation, anti-electromagnetic interference capability strong, can the advantage such as test cross direct current signal, become the development trend of novel current transformer.Because the all-fiber current transformator taking Faraday effect as ultimate principle is responsive equally to the linear birefrigence in Fibre Optical Sensor ring, this makes low linear birefringent fiber become the core parts of all-fiber current transformator.
The low linear birefringent fiber of original adoption is reversed by general single mode fiber and obtains, concrete manufacture method also respectively publication number be the Chinese patent " during drawing the optical fiber producing apparatus of spin fiber pre-shaped and method " of CN 1663922, Authorization Notice No. is the Chinese patent " optical fiber twisting device " of CN 201857345, Chinese patent that publication number is CN 1472153 " manufacture method of low polarisation mode dispersion single-mode fiber and the optical fiber prepared by the method " proposes, concrete grammar is all in drawing process, rotate prefabricated rods or rubbing optical fiber realizes reversing.That studies all-fiber current transformator along with people gos deep into, find that traditional low linear birefringent fiber exists the shortcomings such as such as bending resistance is poor, impact resistance is poor, temperature stability is weak gradually, and another kind enters the people visual field with the low linear birefringent fiber of stressed zone also known as circular birefringent fiber, this optical fiber introduces a large amount of circular birefringence to suppress residuary linear birefringence, makes fiber optic loop have very strong anti-external interference ability.The essential structure of circular birefringent fiber is given: distribute along fiber axis curl with one or more stressed zone in covering in No. 92113821.0 Chinese patent " keeping the optical fiber of circular polarization state and its preparation method ".Making circular birefringence rotates the method for prefabricated rods or rubbing optical fiber in drawing process before can applying mechanically, but there are some difficult problems in these methods: 1, due to circular birefringent fiber below pitch general requirement 8mm, and in order to keep physical strength drawing speed must maintain more than 30m/min, now prefabricated rods rotating speed or rubbing speed need reach more than 3500r/min, and this has far exceeded the normal operating limit of machine; 2, in drawing process, rotation can make optical fiber swing, and occurs to apply the phenomenons such as irregular.
The Chinese patent " manufacture method of ultra-low birefringence fiber and circumgyration stretch tower " of application publication number CN 102442774 proposes the method for prefabricated rods circumgyration stretch, this method can well be applied in the torsion of general single mode fiber prefabricated rods, but there are following difficult problems in the torsion for bow-tie type prefabricated rods: 1, traditional bow-tie type prefabricated rods stressed zone area accounts for total sectional area more than 10%, and prefabricated rods easily bursts in following process process; 2, traditional bow-tie fiber fibre core ovality is up to more than 28%, if make spin fiber, can cause core diameter maldistribution, and then affects multiple index such as fiber cut off wavelength, mode field diameter, also there is the problem with other coupling fiber difficulties simultaneously; 3, reversing is at high temperature carry out, and volatilization and windrow phenomenon will inevitably occur quartz, the exodermis even stressed zone of this meeting havoc prefabricated rods.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of manufacture method of the little stressed zone bow-tie fiber prefabricated rods for reversing, comprise prefabricated rods to make and prefabricated rods sleeve pipe step, when particularly will solve the higher problem of the problem that traditional bow-tie type prefabricated rods easily bursts in following process process, traditional bow-tie type preform core ovality and reverse, quartz volatilizees and the problem of windrow.
The technical solution adopted in the present invention is:
1, prefabricated rods makes and adopts modified chemical vapor deposition process (MCVD) (MCVD), compared with traditional bow-tie type prefabricated rods, when depositing stressor layers, decreasing the inlet amount of every layer and reducing certain number of plies; During deposition endodermis, add the inlet amount of every layer and increase certain number of plies.
2, after prefabricated rods is made, place concentric vertically to prefabricated rods and silica tube, MCVD lathe adds hot melt contracting vertically, makes the prefabricated rods with casing layer.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
1, the prefabricated rods sleeve pipe front stressed zone area adopting the present invention to make accounts for 3 ~ 7% of the cross section total area, and prefabricated rods is not easily burst in following process process.
2, while stressed zone area reduces, endodermis diameter is increased, the benefit done like this has: (1) can effectively reduce stressed zone in molten compression process and, on the impact of sandwich layer ovality, adopt the present invention that fibre core ovality can be made to be down to less than 3%, reach the standard of general single mode fiber; (2) reduce the Intrinsic Gettering of stressed zone dopant material, fibre loss is reduced.
3, the benefit adding casing layer in prefabricated rods outside has: (1) solves the volatilization of prefabricated rods in high temperature twist process and windrow problem, allows volatilization and windrow all occur in casing layer, ensure that the structural integrity of original prefabricated rods; (2) further reduce the per-cent that stressed zone area accounts for the cross section total area, the problem that bursts solves completely.
4, the beneficial effect of prefabricated rods to final circular birefringent fiber adopting the present invention to obtain has: (1) can improve the mechanical property of optical fiber; (2) can make optical fiber easily and other coupling fibers; (3) manufacture difficulty of optical fiber can be reduced, improve yield rate.
