In recent years, the rapid development of optical fiber communication and optical networks has prompted optical fibers capable of large-capacity transmission to be a research hotspot, such as few-mode optical fibers, multi-core optical fibers, and the like. The space division multiplexing-based multi-core optical fiber can realize the expansion of the optical fiber under the condition of not increasing the laying space and the cost of the optical cable, and the limit of the transmission capacity of the single-mode optical fiber is better overcome. The research on the multi-core optical fiber has important application prospect.
A multicore fiber is an optical fiber having a plurality of cores housed in the same cladding, and propagates an optical signal through the plurality of cores. Classified according to the working principle, are mainly classified into transmission type and coupling type multi-core optical fibers. Among them, the transmission type multi-core optical fiber is also called as a weak coupling type multi-core optical fiber, the core interval is large, the energy coupling between cores is small, and the mode in each core is independently transmitted, so that the transmission type multi-core optical fiber is mostly used for the large-capacity transmission of information. Recent research results show that multi-core optical fibers have played an important role in the fields of optical fiber communication and optical networks, for example, in terms of transmission capacity, a system transmission capacity of 2.15Pbit/s is achieved for a 22-core multi-core optical fiber of 31km length based on a double-annular core structure; in terms of transmission distance, the 12-core multi-core optical fiber with the 46km length based on the single-ring fiber core structure realizes the transmission of the furthest 26 circles of 105Tbit/s capacity optical signals accounting for 14350 km. In addition, the multi-core optical fiber can be used for developing important optoelectronic devices such as high-performance lasers, amplifiers, couplers and the like required by a large-capacity communication network. Multicore fibers have a significant role in the development of future high capacity communication systems.
The existing transmission type multi-core optical fiber mainly comprises: the groove auxiliary type multi-core optical fiber adopts the groove auxiliary type refractive index profile to reduce inter-core optical coupling and realize small inter-core distance and low crosstalk, but the scheme makes the refractive index design of the optical fiber complex, improves the manufacturing cost, needs to accurately control the refractive index distribution, and is not easy for large-scale commercial production; in another heterostructure multi-core optical fiber, inter-core crosstalk caused by bending of the optical fiber is reduced by increasing propagation constant difference of optical signals between core areas, but different fiber core designs of the scheme introduce optical transmission delay difference, so that transmission loss is increased, and higher requirements are provided for a production process and a welding process.

Although the method can effectively reduce the introduction of impurities and improve the doping uniformity of the optical fiber preform; however, the method is complicated in process and is only used for preparing single-core optical fiber preformed bars.
