Description

Anti-irradiation ultra-wideband L-band erbium-doped fiber and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber preparation, in particular to an anti-radiation ultra-wideband L-band erbium-doped optical fiber and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Currently, with the development of space exploration technology and the continuous research of 6G communication, large-capacity space optical communication is becoming a research hotspot. The main goal of spatial optical communication is to increase transmission capacity and transmission distance, and the implementation of this goal depends to a large extent on optical amplification techniques. In spatial communication, strong amplification is required to reduce the error rate, and especially, weak signals at a receiving end are required. The appearance of the optical fiber amplifier effectively amplifies small signals, and the rapid development of space communication is accelerated. In recent years, Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology developed for large-capacity optical fiber communication is being more and more widely applied to spatial optical communication. This also requires that the erbium doped fiber in WDM not only have ultra-wideband gain but also have radiation stability. Therefore, there is a need to develop ultra-wideband radiation-resistant erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for space applications.
From the perspective of gain bandwidth extension, the key of expanding the L-band gain region is to weaken the influence of signal excited state absorption on L-band amplification, and component optimization of multi-component silicate glass is an effective means for further improving the amplification performance of optical fibers. The phosphosilicate EDF shows a wide gain range from 1560 nm to 1610 nm in an L band, and the Zr-doped EDF can realize broadband amplification from 1530nm to 1600nm above 11 dB. For the EDF of tellurate matrix, the average output signal power of 18.5 dBm is amplified flatly in the range of 1535-1610 nm. In addition, introducing co-doping ions into the fiber core is also an effective method for promoting broadband amplification; for example, EDFs containing Bi ions also exhibit signal gain in excess of 20dB and NF <6.7dB, extending over 58 nm from 1554 nm to 1612 nm; the introduction of Sb into silicate fibers also extends the L-band gain region to 1620 nm.
Under high energy radiation conditions, high energy radiation causes a dramatic increase in fiber background loss, commonly referred to as Radiation Induced Absorption (RIA). The fiber containing Al in the fiber core is sensitive to radiation, so that radiation-induced absorption is high, and the gain of the EDF is greatly reduced. Although the existing commercial EDFs can expand the bandwidth to some extent by adopting the above measures, the requirements of radiation resistance and broadband amplification cannot be met at the same time. Therefore, a new doping preparation method is needed to solve the defects in the prior art.

In this embodiment, the doping solution contains Er3+And Al3+Respectively as ErCl3And AlCl3Wherein Er3+The preparation concentration of (A) is preferably 0.01-0.35 mol/L, Al3 +The preparation concentration of (b) is preferably 0.5-4.5 mol/L.
In this embodiment, the regulatory component R mainly comprises:
a)Ce3+、La3+the corresponding raw materials are respectively CeCl3,La(NO3)3(ii) a Specifically, Ce is contained in the doping solution3+When (Ce)3+The concentration of (b) is preferably 0.05-1.5 mol/L; the doping solution contains La3+While, La3+The concentration of (b) is preferably 0.1 to 5 mol/L.
b) P ions, Ge ions and other components which are volatile at high temperature, and the volatile components and the easily hydrolyzed transition metal ions have a synergistic regulation effect on Er3+The micro environment of the doping sites is adjusted jointly, but the doping mode of P ions is different from the doping mode of the easily hydrolyzed transition metal ions, and the doping mode needs to be carried out in a gas phase doping mode, and the Soot layer has a porous structure and is not only liquid phase doping but also gas phase dopingThe adhesive composition can exhibit excellent adhesion.
In the step of drying, preferably, the drying atmosphere is formed by mixing nitrogen and chlorine, wherein the flow rate of the chlorine is 1-300 Sccm, the flow rate of the nitrogen is 100-1000 Sccm, and residual moisture and hydroxyl are removed through drying, so that subsequent high-temperature sintering is facilitated.

In the step, the doped quartz tube is sintered at high temperature in an oxygen environment, so that the doped ions react with oxygen, and meanwhile, the gap collapse vitrification enables the doped ions to enter a glass structure, thereby obtaining the stable doped quartz rod.

In particular, the mechanism and the advantages of the irradiation-resistant ultra-wideband L-band erbium-doped fiber are elaborated. In glass, Er3+The local coordination environment determines the characteristics of an emission spectrum, and particularly influences Er3+Factors of the ion emission spectrum include: the species of the surrounding coordinated ions, the symmetry of the specific sites, the symmetry of the overall material, and the coupling mode of the emission wavelength with the phonons in the material. In general, Er3+The electronegativity of surrounding anions can influence the intensity and position of an emission peak, and the strong electronegativity can improve Er3+The degeneracy of electronic states enables the emission spectrum to be wider; as the electronegativity of the surrounding anions decreases, the absolute position and bandwidth of the emission spectrum shifts to lower energies, e.g., Er3+In fluoride glasses4I13/24I15/2The emission peak is more likely to show a red shift phenomenon.
In the present invention, Er is used3+、Al3+Codoped quartz glass is used as a basic doping system, a regulating component R containing P, La, Ce, Ge and other elements is introduced, and Er is regulated by regulating the component R3+In coordination environment and improved Er3+Dispersibility in quartz glass and reduced Er3+Cluster effect of (2). When Er3+When the local coordination field environment of the doping site is changed, Er3+Will also change. Point defects are caused when the optical fiber is subjected to high-energy radiation, the point defects mainly comprise negative electron center and hole center pairs, and the optical fiber shows high radiation induced absorption due to the existence of the point defects; the invention regulates and controls P in the component R5+When volatile ions are radiated by gamma rays, different color centers can be generated, and Ce is introduced3+When the easily hydrolyzed transition metal ions are equal, Ce with one electron is arranged above the 4f layer3+Trapped Ce, tending to lose electrons to obtain a stable empty state3+Hole Centers (HC) are excited, and Ce4+The Electron Center (EC) can be captured as follows:
Ce3++HC→Ce4+
Ce4++EC→Ce3+
this process determines the combination of Ce ions and color centers and therefore also by introducing Ce3+Can improve Er3+The coordination environment is improved, and Er doping is further improved3+The radiation resistance of the optical fiber is improved, and Er doping is improved3+Environmental suitability of optical fibers under high-energy radiation conditions. Due to the special energy level structure, Ce3+The transition metal ions which are easy to hydrolyze can be used for increasing Er3+Emission efficiency of (2) andnow the broadband amplification of the L wave band is matched with the P5+When volatile ions are generated, Er can be generated3+The energy level is micro-controlled, namely Er can be regulated and controlled by regulating the species and the concentration of the introduced doping ions3+Emission properties in the near infrared band, especially the L band.
