Description

Embedded optical fiber lantern based on plastic photonic crystal optical fiber perform
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of astronomical photonics, and particularly relates to an embedded optical fiber lantern based on a plastic photonic crystal optical fiber preform.
Background
Because the effective area of the space detector is small and the flux of the high-energy cosmic ray particles is small, scientists usually adopt a ground mode to indirectly observe the high-energy cosmic ray. Common ground cosmic ray detection techniques include atmospheric cerenkov light telescopes, atmospheric fluorescence telescopes, ground particle detector arrays, water cerenkov detectors, and the like. The water Cerenkov detector combines the advantages of a low energy threshold value of an atmospheric Cerenkov telescope, a large visual field and a high working period of a ground particle detector array and the like, and is widely applied to the field of forward physics research such as gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic ray detection, mesoparticle detection and the like. For high-energy rays, because the energy of the particles is more, the high-energy particles not only have long stroke after entering the detector, but also have secondary clustering, so that a larger number of new particles are generated, the number of the new particles is in direct proportion to the energy of the incident particles, and at the moment, the number of the incident particles and the total energy of the incident particles can be measured by measuring the Cerenkov light generated in the detector, so that the aim of monitoring the number and the energy of the high-energy cosmic ray particles is fulfilled. Among the sensitive detectors used for high-energy ray imaging, the more commonly used detectors are scintillator detectors or semiconductor detectors.
The scintillator detector mainly comprises a scintillator, an optical waveguide or an optical fiber and a photoelectric converter, wherein the optical waveguide or the optical fiber is mainly used for collecting photons generated by the scintillator, and the photoelectric converter is used for converting the photons into electrons and finally outputting an electric signal to a computer.
The plastic flashing optical fiber is an element with the functions of ray detection and optical signal transmission, and the detector made of it has the advantages of high space resolution, good time resolution, radiation resistance, etc., and because the main component is plastic, it can be bent into different shapes and extended to any position in space, and when it is irradiated by high-energy radiation, it can give out the fluorescent signal of visible light or infrared light, and can be extensively used in high-energy particle detection. However, plastic scintillating fibers have severe energy attenuation when transmitting optical signals, and if the optical fibers are used for long-distance transmission in a water Cerenkov detector, the collected optical signals are weak. There is therefore a need for a device that collects the light signals in plastic scintillating fibers, and then transmits the collected light signals through the device to a white optical fiber with little energy attenuation, and then transmits the light signals from the white optical fiber to a remote photodetector.
Wangweibiao and Xumei disclose a polymer photonic crystal fiber in the invention patent of a polymer photonic crystal fiber preparation method and its optical fiber (publication No. CN1542472A), which selects high refractive index material to make polymer hollow round rod, stretches the made polymer hollow round rod into capillary, piles the capillary into regular and uniform arranged hexagonal body, prepares hollow or solid structure polymer photonic crystal fiber prefabricated rod, further draws into photonic crystal fiber.
The air holes of the photonic crystal fiber are high in arrangement flexibility, and the light transmission characteristics of the photonic crystal fiber can be changed by designing structures of the photonic crystal fibers with different cladding air holes. Based on the special optical property of photonic crystals, the invention provides an embedded optical fiber lantern based on a plastic photonic crystal optical fiber preform. The plastic scintillating fibers without the outer cladding are inserted into a plurality of holes near the center of the plastic photonic crystal fiber perform, the integral equivalent refractive index of the fiber core part of the plastic scintillating fibers after the cladding is removed is larger than the equivalent refractive index of a plurality of air holes around the plastic scintillating fibers, the structure can limit the transmission of light beams and concentrate the energy at the center of the plastic photonic crystal fiber perform. And then the optical fiber tapering is carried out on the plastic photonic crystal optical fiber preform, the optical signal in the plastic scintillation optical fiber is concentrated to the fiber core part of the optical fiber converging end of the tapering part of the plastic photonic crystal optical fiber preform and is connected with a white light fiber with very small energy attenuation, and the white light fiber transmits the optical signal to a remote photoelectric detector.
