Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication, and particularly relates to a crescent-shaped cladding nested hollow anti-resonance optical fiber.
Background
The hollow-core anti-resonant fiber has a wide variety of types, and the hollow-core anti-resonant fiber has a simple structure, flexible design, wide working wavelength range and superior loss, dispersion and nonlinear properties, so that the hollow-core anti-resonant fiber can be widely researched by researchers.
The cladding of a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber is generally composed of a ring of thin circular tubes, called cladding tubes, spaced from each other at a certain interval, and the cladding tubes are fixed to an outer jacket of the fiber, thereby stabilizing the structure. The hollow-core anti-resonance optical fiber adopts the principle of anti-resonance reflection, so that different transmission bands are provided according to different tube wall thicknesses of the cladding tube, and are determined by resonance wavelengths of different orders.
The nested hollow-core anti-resonance optical fiber is a nested structure in which a cladding tube with a smaller size is nested in each cladding tube of the optical fiber, so that a double cladding tube is formed. According to the principle of anti-resonance reflection, the nested structure can further effectively reduce the leakage loss of the optical fiber due to the addition of the extra anti-resonance glass wall layer number.
Current hollow core anti-resonant fibers generally have negative curvature and node-free structural characteristics. The negative curvature refers to a portion of the cladding glass wall that surrounds the core boundary and is bent in a direction that is not toward the core. The term "node-free" means that a ring of cladding tubes of the cladding are not in contact with each other and are arranged at a predetermined interval. However, in the round-clad hollow-core antiresonant optical fiber having these two structural features, the tube molds exist in the cladding, and the tube molds are mode-coupled with the fundamental mode in the core, so that the fiber loss is still high.
In a common nested hollow-core anti-resonant fiber, a circular cladding tube is adopted, and the surface close to an air fiber core is of negative curvature, but the surface far away from the air fiber core is still of positive curvature, so that the advantage of an anti-resonant surface with negative curvature is not fully exerted.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a crescent-shaped cladding nested hollow-core anti-resonant fiber, which adopts a crescent-shaped cladding tube to solve the technical problem that in the prior structure, only the tube wall of the fiber core boundary is of negative curvature, and other tube walls are of positive curvature, and the circular cladding tube is seriously coupled by a mode and has higher limiting loss.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a crescent clad nested hollow antiresonant optical fiber, comprising: the optical fiber outer sleeve, the cladding tube and the air fiber core are arranged from outside to inside in sequence;

wherein the thickness of the round inner nested cladding pipe is t, and the radius is r1The tube wall at one side is fixedly connected with the optical fiber outer sleeve;
the crescent outer cladding pipe is formed by extruding a circular cladding pipe with the thickness of t, the manufactured whole crescent outer cladding pipe is in a crescent shape and specifically comprises a front arc section and a rear arc section, wherein the front arc section and the rear arc section are both negative curvatures relative to the air fiber core, namely are bent towards the outer side of the air fiber core; the joint of the front arc section and the rear arc section of the crescent cladding pipe is fixedly connected with the optical fiber outer sleeve;
