Description

Gradual change type central concave optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fibers, in particular to a gradual change type central concave optical fiber.
Background
The fiber laser is used as the representative of the third generation laser technology, and is widely applied to the fields of material processing, military science and technology, optical fiber communication and the like by the characteristics of high efficiency, good heat dissipation, high beam quality, high peak power, wide spectrum range, good compatibility, compact structure, long service life and the like, while the ytterbium-doped fiber laser has the advantages of high conversion efficiency (the loss of the laser emission quantum of 980nm pump 1080nm is only 9.26%), high beam quality output, wider gain bandwidth, good heat dissipation performance, reliable structure compact performance and the like, so that the high-power ytterbium-doped fiber laser is rapidly developed and rapidly commercialized. With the continuous increase of the output power of the fiber laser, the output power of the continuous laser can reach the magnitude of ten megawatts (the theoretical limit of the output power of the single-mode laser is 7.07 megawatts), and the output power of the pulse laser can reach the magnitude of megawatts, but the output power of the high-power laser can cause the power per unit area (i.e. the power density) in the fiber core to be too high, so that serious fiber damage, nonlinear effects such as Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) and the like are generated, and the output laser power and the beam quality of the fiber are seriously affected. With the increase of the mode field area, the probability that the fundamental mode is excited and the higher-order mode (HOM) is excited is also greatly increased, so that the output laser is not in a single mode any more, and the beam quality of the output laser is seriously affected.
The normalized frequency equation is:
Figure BDA0003555860200000011
where V represents the normalized frequency, λ represents the wavelength, a represents a specific constant, and NA represents the numerical aperture. Because the normalized frequency V is smaller than 2.405, single-mode operation can be ensured, and the excitation of a high-order mode can be effectively avoided by reducing the Numerical Aperture (NA) of the fiber core as much as possible while increasing the area of the mode field, but because the NA is difficult to be reduced to below 0.05 by a common quartz fiber material, and the bending loss of the fiber is aggravated when the NA is smaller than 0.05, the mode filtering treatment of a base mode and a high-order mode is difficult to be performed in a mode of bending the fiber.
There are two main types of conventional methods for achieving large mode field single mode operation: one is a fiber core control technology, which realizes single-mode operation by controlling the refractive index, doping or the number of fiber cores, and mainly comprises an ultra-low NA fiber, a part of doped fiber, a multi-core fiber, a negative refractive index fiber and the like. The other is a cladding regulation technology, which mainly adds some fluorine rods, boron rods, germanium rods or air holes into the optical fiber cladding to regulate the refractive index of the cladding so as to form some leakage channels for high-order modes, and combines bending or other filter membrane means to realize single-mode operation. The main representation optical fiber comprises chiral coupling (3C) optical fiber, leakage path optical fiber (LCF), large Pitch (LPF) optical fiber, multi-channel (MTF) optical fiber, all-solid photonic band gap (ASPBF) optical fiber, ultra-large mode area (VLMA) optical fiber and the like. The above-described method generally suppresses the nonlinear effect by increasing the effective mode field area by the number of cores, the core diameter and NA, respectively, but in addition to this, there is an increase in the effective mode field area from the structure of the core itself, that is, a core-centered depressed fiber.
In the preparation process of the optical fiber, the concentration and the distribution of the co-doped ions are adjusted, so that the uniform distribution of rare earth ions in the fiber core area can be ensured, the control of the depth and the width of the fiber core recess can be realized, and the increase of the mode field area can be realized from the structure of the fiber core. The existing fiber core concave optical fiber is step concave, and the preparation method is mainly an improved chemical vapor deposition (MCVD), the method is difficult to prepare an optical fiber preform with a large size due to the limitation of the size of a deposition sleeve, the dopant is required to be deposited at high temperature during the preparation, partial dopant is easy to volatilize during the preparation, the doping uniformity of the preform is influenced to influence the laser performance of the optical fiber, and the MCVD is easy to cause rare earth ions to cluster when preparing the high-concentration rare earth ion doped preform to influence the laser efficiency of the doped optical fiber.
Therefore, the defect of the cladding structure of the fiber core concave channel with small size and low concentration doping and the low gain effect are the problems which are urgently needed to be solved in the market of the high-power fiber laser at present.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a graded-index depressed center optical fiber that solves the above-mentioned problems.
