Description

Rare earth doped hollow anti-resonance optical fiber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical transmission, in particular to a rare earth-doped hollow anti-resonance optical fiber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The fiber laser uses an active fiber as a gain medium, has the advantages of small volume, good beam quality, high conversion efficiency, good heat dissipation performance and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of industrial processing, medical treatment and aerospace. The optical fiber laser mainly adopts rare earth doped double-clad large mode field optical fiber, and is mainly characterized by that in the high-purity quartz glass material matrix one or several rare earth elements are doped, then the optical fiber with specific form can be drawn. However, in the long-distance high-power laser transmission process, the conventional active optical fiber can cause wavelength conversion and laser damage because the silicon dioxide material has a strong nonlinear effect, so that the capability of the quartz optical fiber for transmitting laser is fundamentally limited, and the development of a high-power optical fiber laser is also limited.
Compared with solid optical fiber, the hollow optical fiber mainly restrains energy in an air fiber core, reduces the use of quartz material and fundamentally solves the intrinsic problem of the quartz material. Hollow-core optical fibers can be roughly classified into hollow-core band-gap photonic crystal fibers (PBG-PCF) and hollow-core anti-resonant fibers (NANF) according to the light guiding mechanism and the optical fiber structure of the optical fibers. The hollow-core band-gap photonic crystal fiber mainly utilizes the photonic band-gap effect to guide light, so that the problems of narrow optical fiber band, scattering of a fiber core surface mode and the like are determined. The hollow anti-resonance optical fiber conducts light in a leakage mode, and is a window capable of conducting light when the transverse propagation constant of light in the fiber core and the quartz tube ring do not resonate. In recent years, hollow-core anti-resonant fibers have the advantages of wider transmission spectrum, higher laser threshold damage, lower transmission loss and the like, and are rapidly hot spots of international research.
The hollow anti-resonance optical fiber generally adopts a structure that glass tube rings with equal intervals are nested in a glass tube, and light is guided by superposing mode coupling in the fiber core-glass tube ring through the anti-resonance effect of quartz thin walls around the fiber core. Due to its unique structural design, the hollow core anti-resonant fiber can be used to transmit near and mid infrared band (0.7-25um) spectra, and is widely used in fiber lasers of various wavelengths. However, the hollow-core anti-resonant fiber cannot amplify light while transmitting light like the conventional rare-earth doped fiber, which limits the integrated application of the hollow-core anti-resonant fiber in a high-power fiber laser.
