Preparation method of large-size multi-core optical fiber preform based on perfect combination of special-shaped sleeves
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a large-size multi-core optical fiber preform based on perfect combination of special-shaped sleeves, and belongs to the technical field of optical fiber preparation. The large size mentioned in the present invention is specific to the optical fiber preform having a diameter of 150mm or more and a length of 1500mm or more.
Background
The rapid development of internet +, big data, cloud computing and 5G enables users to have higher and higher requirements on the capacity and speed of information and data transmission, and the multiplexing technologies such as wavelength division multiplexing, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, polarization multiplexing and the like enable the transmission capacity of a single-core single-mode optical fiber to be close to the Shannon transmission limit of 100 Tbit/s. How to expand the capacity is the problem to be solved by the communication transmission function, so that researchers propose that the future technical problem can be solved by adopting a space division multiplexing mode. There are two modes of space division multiplexing, one is mode multiplexing, i.e. using few-mode optical fibers. The other is spatial multi-core multiplexing, that is, a new transmission technology for realizing multiplexing by using an optical fiber with a plurality of single-mode cores in a single optical fiber. Therefore, the multi-core optical fiber is adopted, the space division multiplexing transmission of high-integration-level and large-capacity information can be realized, and the method is an ideal mode for solving high-speed network communication. The key technology for manufacturing the multi-core optical fiber is the preparation of a multi-core optical fiber preform, which can be mainly divided into three types according to the preparation mode of the multi-core optical fiber: 1, a stacking method, 2, a jack method, 3 and a sintering method.
Patent US2014216109A proposes a method for manufacturing a multi-core optical fiber preform, in which a plurality of circular members of different diameters are arranged with a core rod and put into a cladding tube, and the circular members of different diameters can determine the position of the core rod, thereby realizing the assembly of different multi-core optical fiber preforms.
Patent JPS59217632A proposes a method for manufacturing a multi-core optical fiber preform by filling gaps with finer quartz rods, wherein a plurality of core rods are arranged as required and put into a quartz tube, and because the core rods are circular, a plurality of gaps still exist in the quartz tube, and in order to fill the gaps, the method fills the gaps outside the core rods with quartz capillary rods with the diameter of 150-300 μm to manufacture the multi-core optical fiber preform.
Patent CN108508528A proposes a preparation method for a multicore optical fiber preform, in which a cylindrical silica glass is processed into a porous silica cladding tube by a known drilling method, and a core rod made of silica glass is inserted into the porous silica cladding tube to form a multicore optical fiber preform.
The method for preparing the multi-core optical fiber preform proposed by the patent JPH095542A is to arrange the core rods with regular polygon cross sections, then put the core rods into a quartz tube, and add 125-300 μm quartz powder into the gap between the core rods and the quartz tube, thereby forming the multi-core optical fiber preform.
Patent JPS5782805A proposes a method for preparing a multi-core optical fiber preform by arranging a plurality of core rods in a certain space, and then spraying silica fine powder on the outer side of the core rods while heating the same, so that the silica powder is consolidated into a cladding portion, thereby forming the multi-core optical fiber preform.
Although the methods can realize the preparation of the multi-core optical fiber preform, the methods have some defects, and the processing method of the multi-core optical fiber preform and the respective defects are shown in table 1. For example, in the stacking method, a circular core rod is arranged to form a preform, the circular core rod cannot be in sufficient contact with each other, bubbles are generated in the drawing of a multicore fiber, and although a patent proposes that a gap is filled with fine quartz powder, heating is performed for a long time during consolidation of the quartz powder, which causes a problem of uneven heating, and the long-time heating causes thermal diffusion of a material in the core rod, so that a vector of the drawn fiber is uneven. In the case of the drilling method, since the silica glass is very hard, the long-sized processing cannot be realized by the drilling method, and thus the length of the preform to be processed is limited.

and 5: and (4) shrinking the rod at one end of the prefabricated rod core rod which is parallel to the special-shaped quartz sleeve, and welding the vertical head to obtain the combined large-size few-mode multi-core optical fiber prefabricated rod.
The outer surface of the special-shaped prefabricated part is a cylindrical surface, the shape of the inner surface is consistent with the shape of the whole outer surface of the combined core rod and the auxiliary rod, and the combined core rod can be sleeved in the special-shaped quartz sleeve in a matching mode.
The special-shaped quartz sleeve is formed by designing and preparing an internal special-shaped forming die and drawing according to a quartz continuous melting process.
The continuous melting equipment for preparing the special-shaped quartz sleeve comprises a furnace body, a core rod, a feeding hole, a tungsten crucible, a heater, a forming die, a discharging hole, a diameter gauge and a traction wheel; the forming die is made of tungsten metal, and the shape of the forming die is consistent with the shape of the inner surface of the required special-shaped quartz sleeve; the discharge hole of the continuous melting equipment is circular.
The inner refractive index distribution of the core rod perform is designed and optimized based on the practical application of the multi-core optical fiber: (1) in order to increase the density of the fiber core, the core rod of the prefabricated rod adopts a proximity heterogeneous arrangement mode, (2) in order to reduce crosstalk between the cores, the refractive index profile structure of the core rod of the prefabricated rod is designed by using an annular low-refractive-index isolation layer as a structure, (3) in order to increase the number of channels, the core rod of the prefabricated rod can be prepared into a few-mode fiber core, (4) in order to increase the effective area of a mode field, the numerical aperture of the fiber core of the core rod of the prefabricated rod is not more than 0.22, and (5) in order to reduce group delay between modes, the refractive index profile structure of the core rod of the prefabricated rod adopts an additional annular design or an inverted gradient structure fiber core.

According to the preparation method of the large-size multi-core few-mode optical fiber preform by perfectly combining the prefabricated component and the special-shaped prefabricated sleeve, how to reduce the crosstalk between fiber cores of the prepared multi-core optical fiber is considered, so that the optimal method for calculating the crosstalk between the cores for the communication optical fiber is a power coupling mode theory. An expression of the power coupling mode theory may be expressed as,
Figure RE-GDA0003424306330000041
Figure RE-GDA0003424306330000042
in the formula PmRepresents the average power, h, of the core mmnRepresenting the power coupling coefficient, z being the axial coordinate of the fiber, d being the length of the fiber, KmnIs a mode coupling coefficient, Δ β'mnBeing optical fibresThe difference in transmission constant of different core modes in the case of bending can be obtained in the relevant literature. According to the average value of the power coupling coefficient, when the length of the optical fiber is L, the crosstalk XT between adjacent fiber cores is calculated
Figure RE-GDA0003424306330000043
In addition, the heterogeneous multi-core fiber has a maximum value of crosstalk under a bending condition, and the bending radius is Rpk(ii) a When the bending radius of the optical fiber is larger than RpkWhen the bending radius of the optical fiber is smaller than R, the crosstalk between the cores increases with the increase of the curvaturepkWhile the cross talk between the cores decreases as the curvature increases.
In addition to core crosstalk, the bending loss of the fiber is also a critical point in the design. When the optical fiber is bent, the loss value of the optical fiber increases with the increase of the loss value, wherein R is the bending radius of the optical fiber, and R is the bending radius of the optical fibercIs the critical curvature of curvature. For single mode fibers, RcTypical values of (a) are 0.2mm-0.4 mm. Another factor limiting the bending loss is the cladding thickness, i.e. the distance from the outermost core to the outer cladding, which should be greater than 30 μm for the multicore fiber.
The groove assistance is also an important way for adjusting the performance of the multi-core optical fiber, the increase of the annular groove with low refractive index can effectively inhibit crosstalk, and a-20 dB crosstalk inhibition effect can be realized under the same condition, so that smaller fiber core spacing and tighter fiber core arrangement are allowed, but the cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber can be remarkably increased by the groove, and the available bandwidth is reduced to about 100 nm.
The multi-core optical fiber is often required to have the characteristic of long-distance low crosstalk in communication, the traditional homogeneous multi-core optical fiber has a plurality of same fiber cores, the propagation constants of the guided modes of the fiber cores are basically consistent, and larger inter-core crosstalk exists. Aiming at the problem, the invention designs the heterogeneous multi-core optical fiber with adjacent heterogeneous forms, and the scheme is a design scheme for resisting bending crosstalk because the crosstalk between the heterogeneous multi-core optical fibers has an extreme value.
For the arrangement scheme of the fiber cores, a hexagonal close-packed structure, a ring-shaped arrangement structure, a square arrangement structure and the like are generally adopted. The complete hexagonal arrangement can realize the arrangement modes of 7, 19 and 37 cores according to different stacking layers. For the scheme of splicing the precisely ground prefabricated rods, the polishing loss of the prefabricated rods can be reduced to the maximum extent by the hexagonal arrangement mode, and the cost can be reduced.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following prominent advantages and remarkable progress:
(1) the difficulty requirement of processing and preparation is reduced.
(2) Helping to ensure the geometric accuracy of the core dimensions and relative positions.
(3) With a larger shrinkage ratio, preform errors are proportionally reduced.
(4) The drawn optical fiber has long length and good consistency, and the cost and the manufacturing cost of the optical fiber in unit length are reduced.
