Description

Step type ultralow-attenuation few-mode optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to a step type ultralow-attenuation few-mode optical fiber which is suitable for a mode division multiplexing transmission system of optical fiber communication and supports two stable transmission modes in a 1550nm communication waveband.
Background
The single-mode fiber is widely applied to the optical fiber communication network due to the advantages of high transmission rate, large information carrying capacity, long transmission distance and the like. In recent years, with the increasing demand for capacity of communication and big data services, the network bandwidth is rapidly expanding, and the capacity of an optical transmission network is gradually approaching to the shannon limit of a single optical fiber: 100 Tb/s. The space division multiplexing and the module division multiplexing technology can break the traditional Shannon limit, realize the transmission with higher bandwidth, and is the best method for solving the problem of transmission capacity. The optical fibers supporting the multiplexing technology are multi-core optical fibers and few-mode optical fibers.
Experiments show that the combination of few-mode optical fiber and MIMO technology can be used in more than one spaceThe signal is transmitted in a propagation mode. And the MIMO technology can compensate for mutual coupling between modes, separating each spatial mode at the receiving end. In wave optics, according to the mode theory of step-index fibers, the radial dimensions of the core and cladding and the size of the refractive index profile directly affect the number of linearly polarized mode transmission modes in the fiber, which can be quantified by the normalized frequency V:
Figure BDA0001410462310000011
wherein a is1Is the core radius, n1Is the refractive index of the core layer, n2The fiber waveguide design supports only the linearly polarized mode LP01 (also known as the HE11 mode) when the fiber waveguide design meets the condition that the normalized frequency V < 2.405, which is a conventional single mode fiber, and more than one higher-order transmission mode hom occurs once the transmission mode in the fiber with V > 2.405, because we can design a few-mode fiber supporting the transmission of a specified number of modes by designing the cross-sectional structure (i.e., changing the values of a1, △ 1, △ 2, etc.) so as to properly control the normalized frequency within a certain range, e.g., when 2.405 < V < 3.8, supporting 2 LP modes (LP01, LP11), and 3.8 < V < 5.1, supporting 4 LP modes (LP01, LP11, LP21, LP 02).
US8948559, US8848285, US8837892, US8705922 and chinese patents CN104067152, CN103946729, etc. propose few-mode fibers with parabolic or step-shaped profiles, but they have respective advantages and disadvantages. Few-Mode fibers with step-type profiles are simple to manufacture and easy to mass produce, but typically have large DGDs, even up to several thousand ps/km [ s.matsuo, y.sasaki, i.ishida, k.takenaga, et al, 'Recent Progress on Multi-Core Fiber and Few-Mode Fiber' OFC 2013, om3i.3(2013) ]. Few-mode optical fibers with parabolic profiles have more adjustable parameters, so that the intermodal crosstalk and the DGD reach low levels, but the preparation process is complex, the alpha parameter is difficult to control accurately and uniformly, and the repeatability is not high. And the small fluctuation of the refractive index profile along the axial direction of the prefabricated rod can cause the obvious change of the DGD at different sections of the optical fiber. In order to overcome the above problems, it is necessary to invent a few-mode optical fiber which has a small DGD and can be repeatedly manufactured by a simple process.
On the other hand, with the further development of optical amplification technology, optical fiber communication systems are moving toward higher transmission power and longer transmission distance. As an important transmission medium in an optical fiber communication system, the related performance of the optical fiber must be further improved to meet the requirement of practical development of the optical fiber communication system. Attenuation and mode field diameter are two important performance criteria for single mode fibers. The smaller the attenuation of the optical fiber is, the longer the transmission distance of the optical signal in the medium is, and the longer the unrepeatered distance of the optical communication system is, so that the number of relay stations can be obviously reduced, the reliability of the communication system is improved, and the construction and maintenance cost is greatly reduced; the larger the mode field diameter of the fiber, the larger the effective area and the weaker the nonlinear effect. The large effective area can effectively inhibit the nonlinear effects of self-phase modulation, four-wave mixing, cross-phase modulation and the like, and ensure the transmission quality of high-power optical signals. The reduction of attenuation and the increase of effective area can effectively improve the optical signal to noise ratio in the optical fiber communication system, and further improve the transmission distance and the transmission quality of the system.
For silica fiber, the attenuation at 600nm-1600nm is mainly due to Rayleigh scattering, and the attenuation α caused by Rayleigh scatteringRCan be calculated from the following formula:
Figure BDA0001410462310000021
wherein λ is the wavelength (μm), and R is the Rayleigh scattering coefficient (dB/km/μm)4) P is light intensity, B is corresponding constant when Rayleigh scattering coefficient is confirmed, therefore attenuation α caused by Rayleigh scattering can be obtained only by confirming Rayleigh scattering coefficient RR(dB/km). Rayleigh scattering is caused by density fluctuations on the one hand and concentration fluctuations on the other hand. The rayleigh scattering coefficient R can then be expressed as:
R=Rd+Rc
in the above formula, RdAnd RcRespectively, due to density fluctuation and densityThe rayleigh scattering coefficient changes due to degree fluctuations. Wherein R iscIn order to have a concentration fluctuation factor which is mainly influenced by the doping concentration of the glass part of the fiber, theoretically less Ge and F or other doping is used, RcThe smaller this is also the reason for achieving ultra low attenuation performance with pure silicon core designs.
However, it should be noted that the rayleigh scattering coefficient also includes another parameter Rd。RdVirtual temperature T with glassFRelated to and changing with structural changes and temperature changes of the glass. Fictive temperature T of glassFIs a physical parameter characterizing the structure of the glass, defined as the temperature at which the structure of the glass is no longer adjusted to reach a certain equilibrium state, by rapidly cooling the glass from a certain temperature T' to room temperature. When T'>Tf(softening temperature of glass), the glass is in equilibrium at every instant because the viscosity of the glass is small and the glass structure is easy to adjust, so TFT'; when T'<Tg(glass transition temperature) T is a temperature at which the viscosity of the glass is high, the structure of the glass is difficult to adjust, and the structural adjustment of the glass lags behind the temperature changeF>T'; when T isg<T’<Tf(softening temperature of the glass), the shorter the time it takes for the glass to equilibrate, depending on the composition of the glass and the cooling rate, TF>T' or TF<T’。
In addition to the relationship between the virtual temperature and the thermal history of the fiber manufacturing process, the composition of the fiber glass material has a significant and direct effect on the virtual temperature. In particular, the influence of the material composition on the viscosity, the thermal expansion coefficient, the relaxation time of the cooling process of the glass material of the optical fiber directly determines the virtual temperature of the optical fiber. It is noted that because the ultra-low attenuation glass portion of an optical fiber is generally divided into several sections, such as a typical core, inner cladding and outer cladding, or more complex structures. So the compositional differences in the materials between the various parts need to be reasonably matched: the optical waveguide of the optical fiber is ensured, and after the glass is drawn into the optical fiber under the action of drawing stress, no obvious defect exists between layers, so that the optical fiber attenuation is abnormal.
As described above, from the viewpoint of the optical fiber preparation process, there are three methods for reducing the attenuation coefficient of an optical fiber: the first is to reduce the doping of the core layer as much as possible and to reduce the concentration factor of the rayleigh scattering of the fiber. The second is to reduce the wire drawing speed, increase the optical fiber annealing process, and ensure that the temperature of the optical fiber perform is slowly reduced in the process of drawing the optical fiber into the optical fiber, thereby reducing the virtual temperature of the optical fiber and reducing the attenuation. However, this method significantly increases the manufacturing cost of the optical fiber, and the contribution of the slow annealing process to the attenuation of the optical fiber is also greatly limited by the composition of the glass material of the optical fiber and the thermal history of the preform preparation, so the attenuation reduction effect using this method is limited. The third is to reasonably design the matching of the material components in the optical fiber, that is, on the basis of less doping, the reasonable proportioning of the glass materials of the core layer, the inner cladding and other positions of the optical fiber is needed, so that the reasonable optical profile matching of each position of the optical fiber in the drawing process is ensured, and the reasonable viscosity, thermal expansion and stress matching of each position of the optical fiber are also ensured. At present, when manufacturing ultra-low attenuation optical fibers, much attention is paid to the first and third methods.
When the industry uses a third approach to the fabrication of ultra-low attenuation optical fibers, one of the primary approaches is to use a pure silicon core design. Pure silicon core design means that no germanium or fluorine doping is done in the core layer. As mentioned above, the concentration factor of the optical fiber can be effectively reduced without germanium and fluorine doping, and the rayleigh coefficient of the optical fiber can be reduced. The use of pure silicon core designs also presents many challenges to the optical waveguide design as well as the material profile design of the optical fiber. In order to ensure total reflection of the fiber when using a pure silicon core design, the inner cladding must be matched using a relatively low index F-doped inner cladding to ensure that a sufficient index difference is maintained between the core and inner cladding. However, in this case, if the core layer of the pure silicon core is not designed with reasonable materials, the viscosity of the core layer is relatively high, and meanwhile, the viscosity of the inner cladding part doped with a large amount of F is low, so that the viscosity matching imbalance of the optical fiber structure is caused, and thus the virtual temperature of the optical fiber of the pure silicon core structure is rapidly increased, and the R of the optical fiber is causeddAnd (4) increasing. Thus not only canceling out RcReduce the brought benefits, moreFiber attenuation reversal anomalies may result.
From the above description we can understand why it is theoretically not possible to achieve ultra low attenuation coefficients simply by reducing the core doping. In order to solve this problem, document US20100195966a1 discloses a method of adding an alkali metal to the core layer, and solves the problem of R caused by viscosity mismatch by changing the viscosity of the core layer portion of the optical fiber and the relaxation time of the core layer structure while maintaining pure silica core of the optical fiber core layerdIncreasing and thereby reducing the rayleigh scattering coefficient of the fiber as a whole. However, although the method can effectively reduce the attenuation of the optical fiber, the method is complex relative to the process preparation, the core rod needs to be processed in multiple batches, and the requirement on the control of the alkali metal doping concentration is extremely high, so that the method is not beneficial to the large-scale preparation of the optical fiber.
Document CN201310394404 proposes a design of an ultra-low attenuation optical fiber, which uses an outer cladding design of pure silica, but because it uses a typical step-profile structure, a depressed inner cladding design is not used to optimize the bending of the optical fiber, and the core layer is not doped with Ge, which may cause viscosity mismatch during preform preparation, and it can be found that the attenuation and bending levels thereof are relatively poor.
Document CN201510359450.4 proposes an ultra-low attenuation fiber profile and material design for non-pure silicon cores. A small amount of germanium and fluorine co-doped glass of the core layer is matched with fluorine doped glass of the inner cladding layer, so that the component design of the material is optimized, and the Rayleigh scattering coefficient of the optical fiber is reduced to a certain extent; the single-mode transmission of the optical fiber is realized by utilizing relatively low sunken inner cladding and auxiliary inner cladding materials; the viscosity, the thermal stress and the difference of the expansion coefficient between the core layer and each part of the optical fiber are utilized, so that lower density fluctuation is realized, and the defects between interfaces are reduced. It should be noted that the designed outer cladding material contains a certain amount of metal ions, so that the viscosity of the outer cladding is integrally improved, the refractive index of the outer cladding material is reduced, the matching design of the viscosity and the stress of the material is facilitated to a certain extent, and the density fluctuation coefficient of the whole material of the optical fiber is also increased. We note that the attenuation levels of the design are all greater than 0.162dB/km, such as the concentration factor increase caused by germanium and fluorine co-doping of the core layer cannot be solved and the viscosity of the core layer is continuously reduced; and solves the mismatch between the higher viscosity of the outer cladding and the viscosity of the auxiliary inner cladding, which makes it difficult to continue to reduce the attenuation of the optical fiber.
