The FBG manufacturing technology directly determines the production efficiency of the fiber grating, and the conventional large-scale fiber grating manufacturing technology adopts a phase masking method to manufacture the fiber grating, and forms periodic refractive index change in a fiber core of the fiber based on spatial interference fringes generated by near-field diffraction of an ultraviolet light source on a phase mask plate, thereby forming the fiber grating. The traditional manufacture of the fiber grating is characterized in that after raw material optical fiber is subjected to high-pressure hydrogen loading, the raw material optical fiber is cut into a plurality of single optical fibers according to the product requirement, before the raw material optical fiber is etched, a coating layer is stripped in a preset fiber grating area to form a bare fiber area, when the raw material optical fiber is etched, one optical fiber is clamped on a horizontally fixed fiber holder, the position of the optical fiber is adjusted, the near field diffraction range of a phase mask plate at the position of the bare fiber area is adjusted to a preset value, tail wires at two ends of the optical fiber are connected with an optical spectrum analyzer, a laser ultraviolet light source is controlled to be incident on the bare fiber in front of the phase mask plate to etch the fiber grating, the fiber grating parameter is monitored on line through the optical spectrum analyzer, when the monitored parameter reaches the manufacture requirement, the ultraviolet light source is cut off, the optical fiber is taken down from the fiber fixing holder, and the fiber is transferred to the next process, then, the next optical fiber is taken down and the inscription is repeated again. Although the production method of the fiber grating enables mass production, before and after the writing, a large amount of time is needed for manually assembling and disassembling the optical fiber on the fixed clamp, and the tension adjustment is carried out, so that the manual operation amount is large, the production efficiency is low, the manufacturing cost is high, and the productivity cannot be effectively improved.
With the rapid development of the optical fiber sensing and optical communication industries, especially the implementation of FTTH engineering in the global scope, the demand of the fiber grating is increasingly multiplied, and then a large amount of manual operations and low production efficiency make the manufacturing cost of the fiber grating difficult to adapt to mass production with high demand, so that the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the fiber grating becomes the inevitable trend of future development.
