Microstructured optical fibers are a class special construction optical fiber, are the hollow holes of real core fibre fiber core periodic arrangement as covering Optical fiber, realize the homogenous material of optical fiber;And can pass through adjustment covering airport size, control fibre-optical dispersion and Improve the high non-linearity effect of optical fiber.Low birefringent fiber be by the high birefringence optical fiber prefabricated rods of rotating linear polarization state come What wire drawing was realized, such as:Bow-tie type polarization maintaining optical fibre is prepared into low birefringent fiber by rotating prefabricated stick drawn wire.Low-birefringence Optical fiber can be applicable to current sensor application.Impact of traditional real core polarization maintaining optical fibre to temperature is more sensitive, in transformation temperature In the state of work can cause test error.And the covering of microstructured optical fibers is air, simultaneously because homogenous material optical fiber, Reduce sensitivity of the fibre core to temperature, the sensing unit as current sensor preferably.The present invention is proposed by rotating wire drawing Air cladding layer microstructured optical fibers are prepared, for current sensor.
Embodiment of the present invention micro-structural low birefringent fiber is prepared by the rotation high birefringence optical fiber prefabricated rods in drawing process Form.The composition of high birefringence optical fiber is:Fiber core covering is the pore of periodic arrangement, the μ of capillary bore dia 2~5 M, because the centre of pore is air, covering pore has relatively low refractive index compared with fibre core, forms waveguide.It is adjacent with fibre core The symmetrical pore in both sides replaced by two bigger airports of hollow hole, 7~10 μm of air bore dia makes fibre core into ellipse Polarization state that is circular and keeping light.The microstructured optical fibers such as microstructured optical fibers only have a kind of glass material, and what temperature was caused is hot swollen It is swollen to produce big internal stress.It is to be based on that the rotation wire drawing microstructured optical fibers that this patent is proposed prepare low birefringence optical fiber This high birefringence optical fiber.
In presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, the prefabricated rods of micro-structural low birefringent fiber are completed by comb method, outside set Pipe and internal capillary are pure quartz glass.The size of capillary is typically 1mm diameters, and Close stack is into rectangular six Side shape structure is used as covering.The wall thickness of capillary, also referred to as dutycycle, need to be prepared according to the characteristics of fiber optic applications, such as: 80% dutycycle is that inside of optical fibre has 80% air.The interior outside of capillary needs to use after hydrofluoric acid clean, nitrogen purging It is dried.Microstructured optical fibers are needed in clean room work, because possible impurity and dust can increase scattering loss and the shadow of optical fiber Ring to light intensity.The number of plies of air cladding layer influences whether the loss of optical fiber, more multilayer, and the loss of optical fiber can be relatively low, instead Loss it is high.The air cladding layer number of plies can be 2-10 layers, and 3-5 layers covering can be such that the loss of optical fiber reaches below 2dB/ kilometers, Simultaneously manufacturing process is relatively easy.The drawing process of micro-structural low birefringent fiber need control each airport in pressure and Avoid airport deformation.The symmetrical hollow pipe in central core both sides needs higher pressure to control its symmetry, at 2000 degrees Celsius Preparation temperature under, pressure takes around 10-50 millibars;The little capillary of periphery needs relatively low pressure control, Under 2000 degrees Celsius of preparation temperature, pressure needs 1-30 millibars.The fibre core of High Linear polarization state microstructured optical fibers is oval Shape, oval fibre core has a very strong birefringence, so by using elliptical core long and short edge lengths difference structure, pass Lose the refractive index control for realizing polarization state different with the refractive index of vertical minor face transmitted from the long side of ellipse fibre core.It is logical The manufacturing process of rotation prefabricated rods is crossed, the optical fiber of linear polarization state can be become circular polarization state.
By once drawing cone technique, i.e., preform prepared by comb method needs:Larger-size prefabricated rods, such as 20~ 50mm diameters, make the less prefabricated rods of size, such as 3~20mm diameters.The effect for drawing cone is to solidify prefabricated rods, comb method In the prefabricated rods of preparation, capillary is all arranged in parallel and adjacent contact, and prefabricated rods are drawn into by wire-drawer-tower high-temperature The still smaller prefabricated rods of ratio referred to as draw cone.During this, glass experience is melted and is solidified again, and each is adjacent Capillary link together draw the prefabricated rods after cone to be placed in another quartz ampoule and carry out rotation wire drawing in this process.Rotation It is the rotation motor that prefabricated rods are fixed on optical fiber tap to turn wire drawing, during slowly pushing toward in heating furnace, rotates horse Up to prefabricated rods are rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise, the optical fiber that bottom pulls out is with spiral status, rapidly from 2000 degree or so Wire-drawing temperature drop to glassy state temperature and once solidify, helical structure is solidificated in inside of optical fibre.
Micro-structural high birefringence optical fiber structure such as Fig. 1, covering is closely according to the airport of periodic arrangement, quartz glass wool The center of tubule 1 to the distance definition at adjacent quartz glass capillary center is:Λ.Fiber lengths l is regarded as endless. Fibre diameter d, standard traffic fibre diameter is 125 μm, selects 125 μm since it is considered that the mechanical performance of optical fiber.And light The size of fine ring polarization maintaining optical fibre can be 80 μm, can so manufacture smaller gyro.Quartz-glass hollow pipe 4 With the size of quartz-glass hollow pipe 5 determined according to optical fiber property.Such as, the size and spacing of quartz-glass hollow pipe are changed The dispersion and loss of control optical fiber.Quartz glass capillary 1 is smaller in size than quartz-glass hollow pipe 4 and quartz-glass hollow Pipe 5.Quartz-glass hollow pipe 4 and quartz-glass hollow pipe 5 are, quartz-glass hollows axisymmetric relative to fiber optic hub The diameter of pipe 4 and quartz-glass hollow pipe 5 determines the major axis and the ratio of short axle of oval fibre core 3, such as:The quartz of major diameter Glass hollow pipe 4 and quartz-glass hollow pipe 5, oval fibre core can be flat, i.e. the ratio of major axis and short axle is big;Otherwise major axis It is little with the ratio of short axle.
As shown in Fig. 2 after rotation, the structure composition of embodiment of the present invention micro-structural low birefringent fiber is as follows:Due to Rotation drawing process, the quartz-glass hollow pipe of surrounding, quartz glass capillary are in the spiral after clockwise or counterclockwise The oval fibre core 6 of state quartz-glass hollow pipe 9, quartz glass capillary 7, also spiral status, but optical fiber one end The figure in face keeps Central Symmetry.Optical fiber prolongs central shaft or clockwise or counterclockwise, the angle speed of drawing process control rotation Spend to control helix pitch.As high speed spin fiber prefabricated rods can obtain fine and closely woven helix pitch, conversely, compared with the rotation of low speed Turn to obtain sparse helix pitch.Length l and diameter d of optical fiber should be not changed in after rotation wire drawing, this is because can To control the movement velocity and drawing speed of prefabricated rods, constant rate is kept, the diameter of optical fiber is also constant.
It should be appreciated that for those of ordinary skills, can according to the above description be improved or be converted, and All these modifications and variations should all belong to the protection domain of claims of the present invention.
