Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical fiber transmission field, and in particular to a kind of low loss fiber and its manufacture method.
Background technology
Using optical fiber as the Fibre Optical Communication Technology of information transmitting medium, because information transfer bandwidth has communication speed
Height, capacity is big, and have the low, small volume of loss concurrently, it is lightweight, and electromagnetism interference and be difficult the series of advantages such as cross-talk,
So as to enjoy the communications field to favor.Fibre Optical Communication Technology turns into the very important pillar of modern communicationses.
In long haul communication, the long-distance link of thousands of miles, the biography of optical signal are constructed using the optical fiber of decay reduction
Defeated completed by relay station.If reducing the signal attenuation added up in optical fiber link, it is possible to increase two adjacent relayings
The distance between stand, so as to reduce the quantity of relay station, the operation cost and maintenance cost of relay station may finally be saved.
Therefore, the decay of reduction optical fiber has very important significance.
The decay of optical fiber is mainly derived from the inherent loss of optical fiber and optical fiber be made after it is additional caused by use condition
Loss.The former includes being lost caused by scattering loss, absorption loss and optical fiber structure imperfection.Added losses include microbending loss
And connecting loss.Wherein, scattering loss and absorption loss are due to that the characteristic of fiber optic materials in itself determines that Rayleigh scattering is one
Linear scattering is planted, its size is inversely proportional with the power of wavelength 4, while there being species of loss and dopant material with concentration caused by it
Close.In general, the concentration of dopant material is lower, then the loss caused by Rayleigh scattering is smaller.
Scattering loss can be reduced using Pure Silica Core Fiber at present, but the reduction of scattering loss can not illustrate the whole of optical fiber
Body is transmitted.The A of Chinese invention patent CN 103412529 disclose a kind of " low loss fiber and its manufacture method ", this optical fiber
Loss is lowered, and the transmission loss having is not reduced not only and increased on the contrary.Its basic reason is mainly fiber cores bag
The matching of the thermophysical property mismatch, particularly high temperature viscosity and thermal coefficient of expansion of material.And Chinese invention patent CN
101598834 A are disclosed " a kind of single-mode fiber and its manufacture method ", existing methods for optical fiber manufacture be all based on greatly relative to
The refractive index value of pure silicon dioxide glass designs optical fiber, but the refractive index of optical fiber is in addition to relevant with material component,
It is also all closely related with the parameters in series such as density of material, fictive temperature, residual stress.Therefore, the optical fiber in actual drawing process
The high temperature viscosity matching of material component, causes optical fiber structure imperfect, has badly influenced the reduction of fiber transmission attenuation, it is difficult to
Realize the manufacture of low loss fiber;On the other hand, high temperature viscosity mismatch is due to that core packaging material has different Glass Transitions
The characteristic temperatures such as temperature, in drawing process, the different specified temp of core bag will cause optical fiber to have very big residual stress again.
This had both destroyed the waveguiding structure of design, and the intensity and service life of optical fiber are have impact on again.
