Description

Panda type single polarization optical fiber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polarization optical fiber, in particular to a panda type single polarization optical fiber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Common optical fibers are mostly in a symmetrical cylindrical shape, however, in practical situations, the optical fibers can damage the geometric shape of the circular waveguide due to the non-uniform roundness of the fiber core and the cladding, the asymmetric lateral pressure borne by the optical fibers, the asymmetric refractive index distribution caused by the deformation of the optical fibers, and the like, so that a birefringence phenomenon can be generated, and the polarization state of light can be irregularly changed in the transmission process. In applications that are sensitive to the polarization state, the polarization state of the fiber transmission must be tightly controlled. The polarization maintaining fiber can maintain the transmission of the polarization state of the signal light, but crosstalk still exists between the two polarization states.
The single polarization fiber is a fiber with a single mode and a single polarization state, and the large birefringence is introduced into the fiber, so that the propagation constants of two polarization states transmitted in the fiber are greatly different, thereby realizing that only one polarization state is transmitted in the fiber, and the other polarization state is cut off, and solving the problem of polarization state crosstalk of the polarization-maintaining fiber. The single polarization optical fiber is widely applied to the fields of optical fiber gyroscopes, current sensors, super radiation light sources and the like.
The fabrication of single polarization fibers can be achieved using three basic methods, geometry, waveguide structure, and stress anisotropy. For example, an elliptic core fiber that geometrically induces high birefringence, a bow-tie fiber, a panda fiber, an elliptic stress clad fiber, and the like that induce high birefringence by stress are used. The elliptical-core optical fiber can greatly increase the difficulty of fusion-splicing with other optical fibers in practical application due to the more eccentric core structure. The collar-type single-polarization optical fiber and the elliptical stress cladding type single-polarization optical fiber are realized through deposition in a tube, so that the size of a preform rod of the single-polarization optical fiber is greatly limited, and the drawing length of a single optical fiber is short.
