Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and example, the present invention is described in further detail.
The present invention is a kind of single mode transport method based on mode cutoff in photon band gap, with 7 core photon band gap light Exemplified by fibre, fiber model is as shown in Figure 1.As a kind of microstructured optical fibers, the composition of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber is complex, deposits In many kinds of structural parameters, mainly include covering airport periods lambda, air bore dia d, air Hole chamfering dCIt is empty with first layer Stomata chamfering dpWith d`C, fibre core chamfering rc, fibre core ring thickness th、tpWith core diameter RCDeng as shown in Figure 2.
The properties such as the mode distributions of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber are directly related with optical fiber structure, are illustrated in figure 3 in optical fiber Each pattern b~I effective refractive index and the relation curve of wavelength, Fig. 4 is corresponding mode pattern.Because fibre core is nonideal Difference in dodecagon, therefore mode simulation result and circular ideal fibre core, but still can be by the electric field side in mould field section It is divided into three groups to judgment model type, and by core mode:It is basic mode LP respectively01, second order mode LP11And three rank moulds (b-d) LP21(e-f);There are three relatively stable surface modes (g-I) on the left of band gap in addition.
The detailed simulation result enlarged drawing of dashed rectangle part is as shown in figure 5, different higher order modes is by photonic band in Fig. 3 Wavelength when gap is ended is different, namely with different cut-off characteristicses, wherein in about 1.392~1.430 mu m wavebands, high-order mode Formula (more than second order mode) is all ended by band gap and basic mode can stablize transmission, therefore can realize light using the wave band in theory Fine quasi- single mode transport.
To optical fiber 1550-1555nm wave bands and 1425-1430nm wave bands enter row mode measurement, the relative intensity of pattern with The relation curve of group delay is as shown in fig. 6, corresponding mode pattern is as shown in Figure 7.Can be according to each height when group delay is smaller The shape of rank mould pattern is apparent from the corresponding pattern of each spike:(b)LP01、(c-e)LP11And (f-g) LP21, experiment As a result it is coincide with mode simulation result.By the contrast of relative intensity-group delay relation curve, in 1430nm wave band high-orders Pattern is by strong suppression, and measurement result is only capable of decompositing a second mode, and relative intensity and the high-order of 1550nm wave bands Mould is compared to about 20dB is reduced, so being strongly inhibited in the wave band higher order mode, mode suppression is than up to 60dB, it is possible to achieve The quasi- single mode transport of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber.
For single mode transport method of the present invention based on mode cutoff in photon band gap, key parameter is single mode transport The bandwidth of wave band, increase bandwidth can improve the applicability of single mode transport design.Single mode transport wave band is by basic mode and second order mode Cutoff wavelength is determined, therefore the property that maximum factor is optical fiber photon band gap is influenceed on single mode transport wave band.Photon band gap Property is related to the cladding structure parameter of optical fiber, mainly includes clad material refractive index n, optical fiber dutycycle d/ Λ and covering air Hole chamfering dC.Said structure parameter is optimized, increases the single mode transport band of optical fiber, optical fiber is met required wave band Quasi- single mode transport.
Because the mode characteristic curve of band gap edge basic mode has the very high linearity, and slope is smaller, in order to fixed Influence of the analysis optical fiber parameter in amount ground to single mode transport wave band, a horizontal linear is reduced to by the mode characteristic curve of basic mode, The then bandwidth of λ of single mode transport wave bandSIt can be expressed as:
λ S=Δs neff/ | k | (1)
Wherein k is the slope of band gap left side edge, Δ neffThe effective mould for being second order mode between cut-off wave strong point and basic mode Formula refringence.
A. clad material refractive index optimizes
The core mode of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber has small part Energy distribution in cladding structure, therefore clad material Refractive index n can have certain influence on mode characteristic.When n brings up to 2 from 1.2, single mode transport band λSChange such as Shown in Fig. 8.As a result show, the bandwidth of single mode transport wave band increases with the increase of refractive index.Hollow core photonic bandgap fiber mould During type initial parameter n=1.445, λSAbout 36.5nm;λ during refractive index n=1.62SAbout 48.5nm, improves 33%, and works as n When=2, λSUp to 104.3nm, about the 2.9 of initial configuration times.Therefore, increase clad material refractive index can be significantly expanded list Mould transmits band.
B. dutycycle optimizes
The ratio d/ Λ of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber covering air bore dia and pitch-row, or be that dutycycle is fiber design During a very important parameter, the size of dutycycle directly affects the distribution of the bandwidth and pattern of band gap.Work as duty Than d/ Λ from 0.94 to 0.99 change when, single mode transport band λSVariation tendency it is as shown in Figure 9.As a result show, when accounting for When sky is than increase, the bandwidth of λ of single mode transport wave bandSIt is gradually reduced, but when d/ Λ are between 0.962 to 0.979, λSAlmost protect Hold constant, be only reduced to 35.8nm from 37.2nm;λ when d/ Λ continue to increaseSIt is greatly reduced, during d/ Λ=0.99, bandwidth subtracts As low as 21.2nm.
C. covering air Hole chamfering optimizes
In order to calculate influence of the covering air Hole chamfering to single mode transport wave band, chamfering diameter and airport are used during emulation Diameter ratio dC/ d characterizes chamfering angle size, works as dCWhen/d changes between 0.2 to 0.8, single mode transport band λSChange Trend is as shown in Figure 10.As a result show to work as dCSingle mode transport band gradually increases after/d is more than 0.3, but band in calculating process Wide excursion only has 8nm, is respectively equivalent to λ when dutycycle and refraction index changingSThe 31% of excursion and 9%, therefore The change of covering air Hole chamfering is relatively small for the influence of single mode transport band.
But when covering chamfering changes, large range of movement can spectrally occur for photon band gap.As shown in figure 11, with The gradually increase of chamfering, higher order mode cutoff wavelength λmTowards the movement of long wave length direction, from dC1.34um during/d=0.2 is arrived dC1.65um during/d=0.8.Therefore change covering chamfering can be assign as the method for adjustment for moving single mode transport service band.
The present invention is a kind of single mode transport method based on mode cutoff in photon band gap, using on the left of photon band gap The single mode transport wave band of presence, transmits basic mode and high-order mode is strongly inhibited, it is achieved thereby that the list in service band Mould is transmitted, and by selecting appropriate Refractive Index of Material, dutycycle and covering chamfering, can neatly realize hollow core photonic bandgap light The fine single mode transport under different bandwidth, different-waveband.
Embodiment:The operation wavelength of optical fibre gyro application is generally 1530nm wave bands, more than bandwidth 30nm, it is therefore desirable to adjust Whole optical fiber structure makes it at least realize single mode transport in 1530 ± 15nm wave band.Mode cutoff is based on according to the present invention Single mode transport method, on the basis of existing fiber, keep other specification constant, by covering airport with respect to chamfering dC/ d is improved To 0.63, the structural parameters of optical fiber are as shown in table 1.Now the basic mode of optical fiber and the mode characteristic curve and single mode of second order mode are passed Defeated region as shown in figure 12, wherein can realize quasi- single mode transport in 1499-1545nm wave bands, meets optical fibre gyro and applies need Ask.
Table 1 is the relative chamfering d of regulationCThe structural parameters of single-mode transmission optical fiber when/d is 0.63
Due to the multi-mode feature of hollow core photonic bandgap fiber, the existing design method for realizing single mode transport has especially multiple Miscellaneous structure design, the requirement to drawing process is very high.Single mode of the present invention based on mode cutoff in photon band gap is passed Transmission method, can be on the basis of existing 7 core photon band-gap optical fiber, by the adjustment to optical fiber structure parameter, in single mode transport Wave band makes all higher order modes be effectively suppressed, and realizes quasi- single mode transport.Drawing process need not be changed, and optical fiber structure is existing Real feasible, the Light source line width such as the optical fibre gyro that is particularly suitable for use in is narrower and has the applied field of high requirement to optical fiber transmission quality Close.
