Description

Mechanical chirp long period optic fiber grating
Technical field
The present invention relates to sensory field of optic fibre, the communications field and fiber grating preparation field, especially a kind of mechanical chirp Long-period fiber grating.
Technical background
Chirp long period optic fiber grating (CLPFG) is a kind of long period light of specific type that the period changes in optical fiber axial direction Fine grating (LPFG).Relative to common LPFG, CLPFG is since it is with may be implemented more waves in wider bandwidth, transmission spectrum It is long with resistance, suitable for the characteristic of multi-wavelength filtering, there is very big competitive advantage in the communications field.In practical communication application In, CLPFG both can be used as EDFA gain smoothing filter, can also cascade as wavelength-division multiplex separation filter.In addition, CLPFG is sensitive to the variation response of external environment (pressure, temperature, refractive index), also has preferable hair in terms of sensing measurement Exhibition prospect.
The working principle of chirp long period optic fiber grating (CLPFG) is identical as long-period fiber grating (LPFG), passes through fibre The coupling of the cladding mode of core guided mode and symport, being coupled to the guided mode for meeting phase-matching condition in covering becomes in optical fiber Radiation mode to escape fall, realize filter function.Cross-coupling constant k by changing CLFPG can be realized CLFPG in band Conversion between bandpass filter and bandstop filter.
Common method currently used for making CLPFG is aperiodicity amplitude mask means.It shakes using through aperiodicity CLPFG is written to hydrogen optical fiber is carried with certain energy exposure in the ultraviolet light of width mask plate.The production method have with it is outer loss it is small, And the feature that performance is stable.But it needs to make annealing treatment it after completing, causes Production Time long, cost of manufacture is high. Also have and laser is focused into light beam less than screen periods, then fibre movement displacement is controlled by precision electric motor, every a week Phase carries out single exposure and CLPFG is written.This method has the advantages that manufacturing process is flexible, but the precision of its mechanical displacement is difficult to control System, while it is high for the focusing requirement of laser.Ion implantation is also a kind of effective ways for making CLPFG, it will add High-energy He after speed2+Particle forms CLPFG by aperiodicity metal mask plate injection fibre.
The production mechanism of CLPFG will cause not optical fiber in preparing grating based on optical fiber generation chemical change at present Reversible influence can not realize the recycling of optical fiber, while long, manufacturing conditions require the disadvantages of high there is also Production Time. The production technology of CLPFG there are still it is biggish can room for improvement.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome, existing chirp long period optic fiber grating making apparatus is complicated, production is difficult, repeatability is poor not Foot, the invention proposes a kind of production simply, conveniently, the good mechanical chirp long period optic fiber grating of repeatability.
The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems is:
A kind of mechanical chirp long period optic fiber grating, including force application apparatus, top board and lower firm banking, the force Device be it is any the device of mechanical pressure can be provided, the top board have set periodicity N, fixed cycle size as The V-groove (sawtooth) of Λ, the lower firm banking have the U-type groove of different curvature radius, and optical fiber, which is fixed in the U-type groove, to be made The optical fiber is kept with certain curvature radius R bending.
Further, the U-type groove includes the U-type groove of different radii R.
Further, the U-type groove includes same radius R, the U-type groove of different length.
The variation of screen periods is determined by the variable angle of curved fiber and top board V-groove.Assuming that grating adjacent position Variable angle beSo corresponding chirp coefficient isIts Middle l is the grating length in corresponding period.It can be seen that i-th (i≤N) a week of the mechanical chirp long period optic fiber grating Phase are as follows:
CLPFG transmission spectrum bandwidth is from λ1N, wherein λ1Corresponding screen periods are Λ1Resonance wavelength ... λNCorresponding grating Period is ΛNResonance wavelength.
Technical concept of the invention are as follows: CLPFG is different from LFPG, and screen periods are not constants, and change rate is by chirp system Number C determines that chirp coefficient indicates screen periods with the variation of CLPFG unit length.CLPFG can be regarded as N in the present invention The superposition of the LPFG of a different cycles, to realize the filtering of wide spectrum.The variation of CLPFG screen periods by curved fiber with it is upper The variable angle of pressing plate V-groove determines.Assuming that the variable angle of grating adjacent position isSo corresponding to chirp coefficient isWherein l is corresponding week The grating length of phase.It can be seen that i-th of period (i≤N) of CLPFG are as follows:
The transmission spectrum bandwidth of CLPFG is from λ1N, wherein λ1Corresponding screen periods are Λ1Resonance wavelength ... λNCorresponding light Grid cycle is ΛNResonance wavelength, to realize the filter effect of wide spectrum.The present invention can pass through the bending radius of change optical fiber R changes the chirp coefficient of CLPFG, realizes the production of same period number, different chirp coefficient CLPFG, obtains different cake resistancets It is wide.Meanwhile the present invention can change the periodicity N of CLPFG by the variation of fiber lengths, realize different cycles number, same to chirp The production of coefficient CLPFG obtains the control to CLPFG filtration efficiency.
The present invention is to generate CLPFG by the position stress of chirped fiber by optical fiber in conjunction with mechanical structure.
Beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly manifested in: 1) after chirp long period optic fiber grating completes at present, Bu Nengzai Change its chirped grating coefficient, the mechanical chirp long period optic fiber grating in the present invention has well solved this problem.It is logical Cross different fibre-optical bendings, the angle consecutive variations of optical fiber and top board periodic serrations, to realize different chirp coefficients CLPFG.2) in same bending radius, change the stressed length of optical fiber, grating week when the present invention is able to achieve same chirp coefficient The variation of issue.3) it is different from general CLPFG production method, the present invention makes grating with mechanical pressure, can be big by pressure Small control filter effect, and same optical fiber can be suppressed repeatedly, realize the recycling of optical fiber.4) of the invention another excellent Point is that manufacturing process is flexible and convenient, and Production Time is short, and controllability is strong.
