Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an optical fiber and a preparation technology thereof, in particular to a solid core polarization maintaining high nonlinear photonic crystal optical fiber and a preparation process thereof.
Background
The high nonlinear optical fiber is one of special optical fibers, and has wide application in the field of nonlinear optical fiber devices. The nonlinear coefficient of the conventional single mode fiber (SMF-28) is 0.78W-1km-1And the refractive index difference between the fiber core and the cladding is improved by doping the fiber core with high-concentration germanium, and the effective mode field area of the fiber core is reduced at the same time, so that the nonlinear coefficient of the high-nonlinearity fiber realized by the method can be improved by only one order of magnitude compared with the traditional single-mode fiber. Because light is limited in the fiber core by the periodic micron-scale air hole array of the cladding, the effective refractive index difference of the fiber core and the cladding is far higher than the refractive index difference of the fiber core and the cladding obtained by doping the fiber core with a modulating material; due to the improvement of the numerical aperture, the high nonlinear photonic crystal fiber can adopt a very small fiber core design, the effective mode field area of an optical mode is further reduced, and the nonlinear coefficient is dozens to hundreds of times of that of the traditional single mode fiber; due to the flexibility of the structure, the dispersion of the high nonlinear photonic crystal fiber can be adjusted in a quite large range, and the structural parameters of the fiber can be properly adjusted to obtain flatter dispersion characteristics or blue shift the zero dispersion point of the fiber to short wave. Highly nonlinear photonic crystal fibers with high nonlinear coefficients and controllable dispersion characteristics have been widely used in the fields of optical communication, supercontinuum light sources, optical coherence tomography, optical frequency measurement and the like.
On the other hand, polarization maintaining optical fibers have been widely used in aerospace, industrial manufacturing, unmannedDriving, communication, and the like. In an interference type optical fiber sensor based on optical coherent detection, the polarization maintaining optical fiber is used to ensure that the linear polarization direction is unchanged, and the coherent signal-to-noise ratio is improved, so that high-precision measurement of physical quantity is realized. At present, the polarization maintaining optical fiber capable of realizing higher birefringence parameters comprises a fiber core and a cladding, wherein the fiber core is positioned in the center of the optical fiber, symmetrical stress regions are arranged in the cladding on two sides of the fiber core, and symmetrical air holes are arranged in the cladding on the other two sides of the fiber core, which are staggered by 90 degrees with the stress regions, the polarization maintaining optical fiber structure combining the air holes and the stress regions is formed by arranging corresponding air holes in the polarization maintaining optical fiber, so that the optical fiber has the characteristics of single-mode transmission and general high birefringence optical fiber, higher birefringence and stronger external pressure sensitivity, can be suitable for the application of optical fiber communication devices and sensing fields, and further widens the application field. The high double-refraction polarization maintaining fiber is a design of a double-stress double-edge hole and elliptical fiber core structure, and can realize that the double-refraction parameter is more than 10-3However, the high birefringence polarization maintaining fiber cannot meet all application requirements, such as the requirement of high nonlinearity of the fiber, and has the following problems: (1) the optical transmission device has a large internal stress structure, so that the optical transmission device is easily influenced by the external environment when being used for optical transmission; (2) parameters such as the area of a mode field, chromatic dispersion, nonlinear coefficient and the like can not be flexibly adjusted under the condition of a single mode; (3) three quartz materials are needed, the cost of doping a stress area is high, and the yield is low; (4) the elliptical fiber core structure is difficult to maintain in the drawing process in the presence of a blank, and the axial non-uniformity of the optical fiber is easily caused, so that the loss of the optical fiber is increased.
The photonic crystal fiber has attracted wide attention in the application field of special optical fibers due to flexible structural design and large-range parameter adjustability, and the problem of optical fiber parameter requirements which are difficult to realize in the past is well solved through the special structural design of the photonic crystal fiber. The mainstream technology for obtaining the high-nonlinearity fiber is the photonic crystal fiber at present, so the fiber with high polarization maintaining performance and high nonlinearity can be obtained theoretically based on the structural design of the photonic crystal fiber.
The high nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with polarization maintaining performance needs asymmetric design of fiber core in the stacking process of the prefabricated rod due to the complex fiber design and preparation process. Currently available design schemes are: the invention patent application published in China "a high-birefringence high-nonlinearity low-confinement loss photonic crystal fiber" (application number: 201510105137.8) and the invention patent application published in China "a novel high-birefringence high-nonlinearity photonic crystal fiber" (application number: 201510003347.6). Both of these schemes of fiber construction are difficult to manufacture practically and there are only theoretical possibilities: (1)201510105137.8, the hollow core of the microstructure fiber is ellipse, and the microstructure hole can not maintain ellipse state under the action of surface tension in the high temperature melting state of the actual fiber preform, therefore the fiber with this structure has no possibility of actual preparation; (2)201510003347.6, the optical fiber is designed with a plurality of micro-structure air holes with different apertures, in the actual optical fiber preparation, for the micro-structures with more than three air hole sizes, partial pressure control is needed one by one, and the preparation difficulty is extremely high; (3)201510003347.6 the optical fiber core is not in the center of the optical fiber geometry, which has the problem of difficult coupling with other optical fibers and optoelectronic devices.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a solid core polarization-maintaining high-nonlinearity photonic crystal fiber and a preparation process thereof, the fiber prepared by the preparation process has high nonlinearity, small mode field area, adjustable dispersion, linearly polarized light transmission and birefringence, and adjustable birefringence, and the elliptical state of a solid core fiber core can be maintained in the high-temperature melting state of an optical fiber perform in the preparation process, and the solid core fiber core is positioned at the geometric center of the fiber.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: the solid core polarization-maintaining high-nonlinearity photonic crystal fiber is characterized by comprising an outer cladding layer, an inner cladding layer and a solid core fiber core, wherein the outer cladding layer, the inner cladding layer and the solid core fiber core are sequentially distributed from outside to inside and are of an annular solid structure, the inner cladding layer is provided with air holes in a periodic distribution mode, the solid core fiber core is located at the geometric center of the fiber, the inner cladding layer comprises a plurality of circles of air holes, the air duty ratio of the inner cladding layer is 70-99%, the central connecting line of each circle of air holes on the radial cross section forms a hexagon, the aperture of 1 air hole or two symmetrically distributed air holes in any circle of air holes in the second circle from inside to outside is smaller than or larger than the aperture of all the rest air holes, the mode field shape of the solid core fiber core is oval and has high birefringence, and the length of the long axis of the solid core fiber core is 1-10 micrometers.
The inner cladding comprises at least three circles of the air holes, and the aperture of 1 air hole or two symmetrically distributed air holes in the second circle of the air holes from inside to outside is smaller than or larger than the aperture of all the rest air holes. In order to maintain the uniformity of the whole structure of the optical fiber, the inner cladding generally comprises more than three circles of air holes, and 1 or two air holes with reduced or enlarged aperture are not distributed in the air hole at the innermost circle, because the mode field shape and dispersion curve of the solid core optical mode are directly influenced; in a special case, if there are only two circles of air holes, 1 or two air holes with reduced or enlarged hole diameters are distributed in the air holes of the 2 nd circle from the inside out.
The inner cladding comprises 18-468 air holes. The number of air holes included in the inner cladding is not limited in theory, but the number of air holes may be limited to 18 to 468 in order to balance the fiber loss and the overall fiber size.
A preparation process of a solid core polarization maintaining nonlinear photonic crystal fiber is characterized by comprising the following steps:
