Description

Multi-core fiber coupler preparation method based on reverse tapering technology
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a multi-core optical fiber coupler.
Background
With the increasing capacity of communication systems in recent years, the transmission capacity of single-core optical fibers has approached its physical limit. As the system capacity can be greatly increased, the multicore fiber capable of providing space division multiplexing has received great attention. However, to make the multi-core fiber access the existing communication system and implement wider application, a high-quality coupling method with low loss and low crosstalk is especially important.
The existing multi-core optical fiber coupler mainly has the following preparation methods:
the first is to use a lens method and a polymer waveguide method, which all involve the introduction of other non-optical fiber devices, increase the complexity of the system, and bring inconvenience to the practical use.
And a micropore processing method, such as patent document CN 105204119A. The method needs to design and manufacture the sleeve punching aiming at the multi-core optical fiber and the single-core optical fiber bundle respectively, the operation is complex, and the punching precision seriously influences the final fusion loss.
Thirdly, a tapering technology is used. Patent document CN 202305881U tapers one side of a single-core optical fiber bundle and then fusion-splices the bundle with a multi-core optical fiber on the other side. The method is difficult to realize the matching of the mode fields of the optical fibers on two sides, thereby causing higher fusion loss. Patent document CN 105785511B corrodes a single-core optical fiber, inserts it into a glass sleeve to be tapered, and then fusion-splices it with a multi-core optical fiber. Patent document CN 109239845 a performs three-time tapering of a ferrule on one side of a single-core optical fiber bundle, and then fusion-bonds the ferrule to a multi-core optical fiber.
In all the above-mentioned preparation methods, the obtained fusion loss is related to the alignment degree of the optical fibers on two sides before fusion, and if the optical fibers are slightly dislocated in the transverse direction, higher coupling or fusion loss is finally obtained. Meanwhile, the position error of each core in the multi-core optical fiber can also increase the coupling or welding loss of a single-core channel, so that the consistency of the loss of each channel is poor.

In step 1, a coating layer of the multi-core optical fiber is stripped and cleaned. It should be noted that, in order to avoid as much as possible micro-cracks on the surface of the multicore fiber caused by the stripping and cleaning process, which weaken the strength of the fiber in later use, a commercially available fiber stripping apparatus may be used. And secondly, setting tapering parameters of the optical fiber tapering machine, heating and reversely propelling the multi-core optical fiber to finish reverse tapering.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a reverse tapered multi-core fiber in a method for manufacturing a multi-core fiber coupler based on a reverse tapered technology according to an embodiment of the present invention. The reverse tapering technique is carried out by compressing the optical fiber while locally heating it at high temperature by a heating source 9, and the resulting structure comprises a uniform waist portion (waist region 3) with a large diameter in the middle and two transitions (tapered regions 2) at both sides, which are connected to the untreated portions of the optical fiber 1, respectively. By processing the multi-core fiber by the technology, the expected cladding diameter size can be obtained, and is at least 1.1 times of the cladding diameter of the original multi-core fiber; and this process can achieve very low losses, e.g., less than 0.5 dB, or less than 0.2 dB. The heating source 9 may be heated not only above the optical fiber as shown, but also below the optical fiber or by wrapping.
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a multi-core fiber in a multi-core fiber coupler based on a reverse tapering technique according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the multi-core fiber at the position where the diameter of the cladding of the fiber is maximum after the multi-core fiber is reversely tapered to a waist diameter of 260 μm. Wherein, FIG. 4(a) is a cross-sectional view of an untreated multi-core fiber, and FIG. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view of a reversely tapered multi-core fiber at the maximum cladding diameter, both of which are obtained under the same white light source.

The first type is to realize the matching of the mode field and the fiber core position with the multi-core fiber by reducing the diameter of the cladding. It should be noted that, in the second kind of thermal core expansion technology, by heating the local high temperature of the optical fiber, germanium ions doped in the fiber core will gradually diffuse toward the cladding, and then the mode field diameter of the optical fiber becomes larger. This technique allows the mode field size of the fiber to be varied without changing the cladding diameter, and the process can achieve very low loss. It is worth noting that the core diameter of each single-core optical fiber is increased due to the action of the thermal core expansion technology. The matching with the multicore fiber in the mode field and the fiber core position can be realized. The core arrangement comprises: the position of the fiber core and the size of the equivalent fiber core.
And 3, performing fusion tapering on the arranged single-core optical fiber bundle sleeved in the glass capillary. It should be noted that, similar to the reverse tapering process in step 1, the forward tapering is heating and drawing the multi-core fiber to both sides.

In the step 1 and the step 3, the heating method for tapering comprises the following steps: flame heating, carbon dioxide laser heating, graphite heating, thermoelectric ceramic heating, and the like. Among them, a high temperature flame is generally obtained by burning hydrogen or butane in oxygen.
In the step 4, in the alignment process of the multi-core optical fibers and the single-core optical fiber bundles on the two sides, an optical fiber fusion splicer self-contained alignment device can be adopted to align the corresponding fiber cores of the optical fibers on the two sides, so that the alignment loss of each fiber core is minimum. Then, parameters of the optical fiber fusion splicer when the lowest fusion loss is caused can be found through testing the change condition of the fusion loss under different fusion parameters; and welding the single-core optical fiber bundle and the multi-core optical fiber by using the optimal parameters to obtain the lowest welding loss and higher welding strength.
Based on the above description of step 4, the parameter ranges of the optical fiber fusion splicer include: the pre-pushing distance of the optical fiber is 0-20 μm, the heating pushing distance is generally 1-20 μm, the heating time is generally 0.1-5 s, the heating temperature is 1500-3300 ℃, and the fire head offset distance is generally 0-50 μm.

The effect of lateral misalignment on loss can be reduced for alignment of a single core of a multicore fiber with one core of a bundle of single core fibers. For the overall alignment among a plurality of fiber cores, after most of the fiber cores are ensured to be aligned, even if the transverse dislocation of individual fiber cores caused by preparation errors exists, the sensitivity of each core to the transverse displacement is reduced after the multi-core optical fiber is subjected to reverse tapering, so that the high loss is not brought. Besides, the coupler performance is improved in at least two aspects: firstly, multicore optic fibre core interval increases, has reduced the coupling time, appears the possibility of intercore crosstalk. And secondly, the diameter of the multi-core fiber cladding is increased, the diameter of the single-core fiber bundle capillary is reduced, the diameters of the sections at the welding point are the same, and the mechanical strength and the long-term use stability are improved.
