Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a broadband multimode optical fiber preform, belonging to the technical field of optical communication.
Background
The combination of multimode fiber and Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) has been the most cost-effective scheme for high-speed short-distance interconnection, and is widely used in the fields of data centers, office centers, high-performance computing centers, storage area networks, and the like. Today, multimode optical fibers have three major trends in performance: bending resistance, high bandwidth and support of multiple wavelengths. The application scenario of the multimode optical fiber is often narrow cabinets, wiring boxes and the like, and the optical fiber can be subjected to a small bending radius, so that the bending insensitivity performance becomes an important index. Proceeding from OM2 to OM4, the bandwidth performance of multimode fiber at 850nm wavelength is multiplied. The supportable transmission capacity of the single-wavelength light source is improved by the technology of parallel transmission of a plurality of multimode optical fibers. However, high-speed transmission systems using single-wavelength light sources of 100Gbps, 400Gbps and above require a large number of parallel optical fibers, which undoubtedly increases the cost and difficulty of cable laying and operation and maintenance management. The development of Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM) technology in recent years has expanded the cost advantage of VCSELs from 850nm to longer wavelength windows, resulting in a multiple increase in the transmission capacity of a single multimode fiber. ISO/IEC in 2017 publishes the international standard of OM5 optical fiber, and defines that the optical fiber can support multi-wavelength transmission in the 850-950 nm wave band. Wavelength division multiplexing requires multimode fibers with high bandwidth performance over a wide range of wavelengths.
The core of multimode optical fibers is often formed of Ge-doped SiO2Glass composition, a parabolic refractive index profile is achieved by adjusting the radial content profile of the core Ge. However Ge-doped SiO2Glass has high material dispersion, and a multimode fiber with high Ge doping amount usually has high bandwidth performance only in a narrow waveband, and the bandwidth is sensitive to the wavelength change, so that the application of the wavelength division multiplexing technology is not facilitated. Research shows that the SiO doped with P or F2Glass has much lower material dispersion and lower bandwidth-wavelength sensitivity, which allows it to maintain high bandwidth performance over a wider wavelength band. Patent CN105829928A mentions a multimode optical fiber with Ge, P and F doped in the core, which has minimized Effective Mode Bandwidth (EMB) -wavelength dependence and is suitable for wavelength division multiplexing operation in a small wavelength interval in the 780-1550 nm band. Patent CN101135746B describes a composition containing Al2O3、P2O5、GeO2F and SiO2The component multimode optical fiber has the optimal alpha value change of less than about 780-1550 nmPerformance of 0.01. However, the above patents do not show the specific preparation method of the optical fiber, the key process parameters, the doping method of the dopant, etc.
There are four typical methods of manufacturing optical fiber preforms: modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD), Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD), Outside Vapor Deposition (OVD), and axial vapor deposition (VAD). The MCVD and PCVD methods belong to an in-tube deposition method, chemical reactions occur on the inner wall of a carrier liner tube, a heat source reciprocates along the axial direction of the liner tube to realize the layer-by-layer deposition of a glass thin layer, a prepared preform consists of thousands of deposited layers, and the gas flow of each reactant of each layer of reaction can be accurately controlled. Compared with VAD and OVD outside tube methods, the inside tube method can obtain more accurate and more complex refractive index distribution, and is an ideal process for preparing multi-component doped and graded-index-distribution optical fibers. Because the heat source of the MCVD process is different from that of the PCVD process, the MCVD process and the PCVD process have difference in process control. Patent CN1289421C describes a method for producing rare-earth doped optical fibers by PCVD process, POCl3The optical fiber is doped as a co-dopant in an evaporation mode, and the evaporation temperature is 20-300 ℃. POCl3Is liquid at normal temperature and has a boiling point of about 105 ℃, and POCl is doped by evaporation3The raw material bottles and pipes need to be kept at temperatures above at least 105 ℃. With evaporation of POCl3Compared with the mode, the raw material heat preservation temperature required by the bubbling method is lower, and the maintenance of equipment such as raw material bottles, pipelines and the like is simpler. Patent CN106116136A describes a method for preparing ytterbium-aluminum-phosphorus-fluorine doped silica optical fiber preform core rod by MCVD process, and POCl is doped by bubbling method3To obtain a composition containing 1.22 to 2.73 mol% of P2O5A large-diameter ytterbium-doped core rod.
The bend insensitive multimode optical fiber that is mainstream at present may include the following parts: first, the refractive index profile precisely controls the portion of the core that exhibits an alpha-parabolic shape, and in principle the smoother the profile is, the more beneficial is the DMD and bandwidth performance of the multimode fiber. The width and depth of the depressed cladding structure formed by fluorine-doped glass directly determine the bending insensitivity of the optical fiber, and the wider and deeper the depressed cladding structure, the better the bending insensitivity of the optical fiber. The outermost side is an outer cladding layer made of pure quartz glass and plays a role of an auxiliary optical waveguide.
P doped in multimode fibers to reduce bandwidth-wavelength sensitivity needs to be precisely designed. Excessive P incorporation greatly reduces SiO2The viscosity of the glass and the glass are easy to deform in the deposition process, which can cause the deterioration of the geometric parameters and bandwidth performance of the optical fiber and bring difficulty to the process control. The core layer roundness of the multi-mode optical fiber preform core rod directly influences the differential mode time delay (DMD) of the optical fiber, and how to control the doping amount of P and the process parameters to ensure that the core rod roundness is in a proper range is a difficulty. Secondly, P participating in the reaction consumes a large amount of oxygen, and the doping of P breaks through the original SiCl4And O2Balance of the ratio between the two, when O2When the supply is insufficient, the finally prepared core rod is scrapped because a large amount of bubbles appear in the core layer; when O is present2When the supply is excessive, the reaction power needs to be increased accordingly to ensure the reaction efficiency, thereby increasing unnecessary energy consumption. The technical methods disclosed in the prior patents and papers do not solve the above process problems well.

TABLE 1 other main Process parameters
Wherein, the Ge doping amount of the core layer of the example 1 is equivalent to that of the comparative example 1, and the POCl with the phosphorus doping coefficient K of 20 is doped into the core layer of the example 13Whereas the core layer in comparative example 1 was not P-doped. As can be seen from fig. 3, P-doping significantly reduces the material dispersion of the optical fiber obtained in example 1, as compared to comparative example 1.
