Recognized by emulation, the As within a covering period30Se50Te20When glass and PPSU film ratio are 20:45, When wire drawing ratio (i.e. the ratio between preform diameter and drawing gained fibre diameter) is 24:1, the low-loss band of gained fiber is drawn Center is in 10.3 μm.It is obtained with the hollow that center wave band is 10.3 μm in this way and passes energy mid-infrared light fibre.
Due to above-mentioned first four example (there is same glass material), mainly change wire drawing ratio, wire drawing ratio master The thickness of a cycle structure is influenced, therefore, is indicated shown in the available Fig. 3 of the corresponding bandgap structure of obtained optical fiber, Fig. 3 In, a represents the overall thickness in a covering period, and pi is π value, and c is the light velocity.From the figure, it can be seen that due to periodic structure, When normalized radian frequency is between 0.25-0.3, a part, which normalizes the light wave that longitudinal wave vector is 0-0.3, can not pass through covering Periodic structure, this part light will also constrain in fibre core by photonic band gap structure.Due to example 5, changing sulphur system glass After glass material mixture ratio, as long as accordingly therefore change drawing ratio and evaporation thickness also can produce identical effect.Likewise, The corresponding bandgap structure of the optical fiber that above-mentioned example 5 obtains can indicate shown in Fig. 4, can be seen that from Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, different glass material It is different that material obtains optical fiber transmission wave band.
It should be noted that angular frequency is normalized, that is to say, that angular frequency is a on the basis of maximum angular frequency Smaller, maximum angular frequency is also bigger, and center wave band will also change, so four exemplary center wave bands are different.
To sum up, what embodiment one and embodiment two provided can pass with the matched hollow of QCL laser can mid-infrared light it is fine and Preparation method, by the periodic structure of polymer-sulfur system two kinds of materials of glass interaction, and by rationally designing, by low damage Consumption wave band moves to the service band of QCL laser.(change in addition, hollow passes energy mid-infrared light fibre and designed by flexible structure Wire drawing ratio is to change cladding thickness) with material selection, it can be achieved that optical transport wave band adjustable extent covers entire mid and far infrared wave Section, the i.e. service band (3-20 μm) of QCL laser.Since optical fiber is hollow-core fiber, low-loss wave-length coverage is covered in entire Far infrared band can carry out targeted design to mid-infrared laser use environment for various purposes.
As it will be easily appreciated by one skilled in the art that the foregoing is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, not to The limitation present invention, any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should all include Within protection scope of the present invention.
