Description

Gradual change type photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of photonic crystal polarization maintaining optical fibers, and particularly relates to a gradual change type photonic crystal polarization maintaining optical fiber.
Background
The photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber is also called a holey fiber or a microstructured fiber, and can be classified into a total internal reflection type photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber and a bandgap type photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber according to the light guiding principle. Due to the flexibility of design, the transmission characteristics of the optical fiber can be changed by adjusting the structure and parameters, so that the performance of the optical fiber is greatly improved, and the defects of the traditional optical fiber technology are well overcome. With the development of the preparation technology, great progress is made in various fields of optical fiber communication, sensing, couplers and the like.
The ideal optical fiber has good circular symmetry, can transmit two mutually perpendicular polarization modes, and can be degenerated. In practice, the original symmetry of the photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber structure is destroyed, and four methods are generally adopted: 1. applying stress to the optical fiber; 2. the shape and the size of some air holes are changed, and the air holes such as ellipses, diamonds and the like can be introduced; 3. reducing or increasing some of the air holes; 4. the hole spacing of the air holes in the two polarization directions is changed, such as introducing rectangular lattice arrangement and the like. Through reasonable structural design, polarization-preserving characteristics can be realized, and the effect of single polarization light guide can also be realized. Even if the optical fiber is deformed or bent, the polarization state of the light beam can be well transmitted.
With the improvement of the requirements of people on the transmission capacity of the optical fiber, researchers turn the eyes to the multi-core photonic crystal polarization-maintaining optical fiber, compared with a single-core optical fiber, the multi-core optical fiber has larger mode field area, and when the wavelength is 1200-1600nm, the mode field area range in the x polarization direction is 150-300 mu m 2 Can be used for preparingThe laser is used as a high-power laser, can effectively reduce the nonlinear effect of the optical fiber, and is widely applied to the fields of optical switches, wavelength division multiplexers and the like.
