Disclosure of the invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a wide-measurement-temperature-range high-concentration erbium-bismuth-codoped special optical fiber, which is characterized in that an MCVD (modified chemical vapor deposition) and NHS (polyethylene-NHS) high-temperature gas phase doping system is used for preparing the optical fiber, a compound containing rare earth elements is accurately controlled and conveyed to a prefabricated rod by using specific gas, and a reaction area of a base tube is manufactured, so that the rare earth elements are doped into the optical fiber prefabricated rod according to design requirements, the effect on the research and development and the production of a gain optical fiber prefabricated rod is achieved, and the prepared erbium-bismuth-codoped optical fiber with high doping concentration has the characteristic of wide applicable temperature range and has great significance for being applied to a sensing detection system in the future.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the implementation of the invention is as follows:
a method for preparing a special high-concentration erbium-bismuth co-doped fiber with a wide temperature measurement range combines a chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) method and an NHS (chemical vapor deposition) gas-phase high-temperature doping method to manufacture a high-temperature sensitive erbium-bismuth co-doped fiber (EBDF), and improves a rod-shrinking process. The erbium ions and the bismuth ions in the fiber core are doped in a gas phase through erbium and bismuth chelates, wherein the doping concentration of the erbium ions is 6000-30000 ppm, the doping concentration of the bismuth ions is 150-500 ppm, and the proportionality coefficient of the erbium ions and the bismuth ions is 40-60. The temperature range measured by the special optical fiber is wide, and the characteristics in two wave bands of the fluorescence spectrum have opposite monotone mapping relation to the temperature under the action of fixed pumping power.
Firstly, the high temperature sensitive characteristic of the special optical fiber is that through experimental verification of the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber, the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber with high doping concentration is found to show good temperature sensitive characteristic, the principle of the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber is explored, and the Er of the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber is found3+Containing ground states in energy levels4I15/2Excited state of4I11/2Metastable state of4I13/2. When the erbium-doped fiber does not absorb energy from the outside, most of the Er3+In the ground state. When the outside temperature rises, the ground state ions are excited to transition to an excited state. However, ions in the excited state are unstable, undergo non-radiative relaxation, and transition to a metastable state. In a metastable state, ions are stable and have long service life. The metastable state ions jump to the ground state through spontaneous radiation and radiate outPhotons. As the temperature increases, the bismuth compound is decomposed into Bi0,Bi+,Bi3+,Bi5 +The bismuth element in the bismuth-doped material is more easily reduced, so that the bismuth material exists in a lower valence state. Then, after the doping concentration of erbium bismuth is increased, more ground state particles are transited on the energy level, the erbium ions can still see the fluorescence characteristic at 1560-1590 nm and the bismuth ions can still see the fluorescence characteristic at 1400-1435 nm, and the optimized fluorescence characteristic is shown.
Furthermore, the high doping concentration of the special optical fiber is mainly selected from 6000 to 30000ppm of erbium ion doping concentration, 150 to 500ppm of bismuth ion doping concentration and 40 to 60 of the proportion coefficient of erbium ions and bismuth ions. The selection range of the doping concentration of the invention not only ensures high concentration, so that the erbium-bismuth co-doped fiber has higher resolution and temperature sensitivity coefficient in a large temperature measurement range, but also ensures that erbium ions are not quenched due to high concentration, and the invention can be prepared in large quantity and has low cost.
In the above, we have introduced the feasibility of erbium bismuth highly doped in special optical fiber and the doping concentration value of the present invention, and the following is the specific process flow of the preparation method:
in general, the combination of chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) and NHS vapor phase high temperature doping is selected, the erbium bismuth raw material is mainly changed into high temperature steam through a high temperature processing unit, so that the high concentration of reaction gas can be realized, the erbium bismuth jellyfish is uniformly mixed with other reaction gas in molecular order, the erbium bismuth jellyfish and the like are conveyed to a reaction area of a base tube manufactured by a prefabricated rod by accurately controlling specific gas, and the rare earth elements are doped into the optical fiber prefabricated rod according to the design requirement. The method can realize the high-concentration uniform doping of erbium and bismuth, greatly improve the performance of doped optical fibers and is beneficial to realizing the temperature measurement application of the invention.
Because the invention needs to prepare the high-doped and high-concentration erbium-bismuth co-doped special optical fiber, the preparation of the base tube adopts multi-component glass K2O-SiO2-X (X is GeO)2、B2O3、La2O3、Sb2O3、 ZrO2、Al2O3One or more) with the aim of developing novel glass parent materials for low temperature (relative to quartz glass) shaping. On the premise of ensuring the basic strength of the glass network body, the K is improved2The concentration of O and the operation temperature are reduced to below 1800 ℃ for smelting in a high-temperature molten state, the rare earth doping uniformity of the multi-component glass is better, the multi-component glass can be uniformly distributed in the whole fiber core glass, the doping concentration is easily improved, and concentration quenching can not occur. The volatilization of bismuth can be reduced by operating below 1800 ℃, so that the final bismuth content in the doped optical fiber is large and the distribution is uniform.
On the optical fiber base tube adopted by people, the invention can safely dope rare earth elements, and the deposition mode of the erbium bismuth chelate of the special optical fiber is that under the action of the temperature of 260-400 ℃, the erbium bismuth chelate is uniformly deposited on the inner wall of the base tube in a molecular form by a vapor phase method to generate erbium bismuth compounds BiO and Bi2O3,Er2O3And compared with other methods, the MCVD and NHS are combined to reduce the doping reaction temperature, so that the method is simple and easy to operate and react, erbium and bismuth can be uniformly deposited without too high temperature, the preform deposition operation and the rare earth chelate deposition operation are carried out together, the time and the operation difficulty are saved compared with a liquid phase deposition method and other gas phase methods, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
The invention improves the rod-shrinking process and adopts the mode of low temperature, small negative pressure or flat pressure to perform the rod-shrinking in order to ensure that the special optical fiber is highly doped and has less volatilization in the preparation process. Due to the characteristic that bismuth is volatile at high temperature and can be known based on theory, the method reduces the volatilization of bismuth, accelerates the rod shrinkage speed, and avoids the phenomenon by optimizing parameters although the out-of-roundness of the preform shape is possibly increased.
After the rod is contracted, the optical fiber needs to be coated, in order to achieve the characteristic of high temperature sensitivity, the PMI coating is selected as the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber coating, and the maximum working temperature of the PMI coating is 350 ℃. The preparation method is a method of sectional coating and sectional heating curing, the coating speed is controlled below 10mm/min, the thickness of each layer is not more than 20 mu m, and the maximum curing temperature is 380 ℃. The PMI coating can be used for repeatedly and stably measuring the temperature-sensitive optical fiber at-200-350 ℃, an aluminum-plated coating can be replaced, the temperature range is continuously enlarged, and the temperature sensed by the special optical fiber can be increased to 800 ℃ by the aluminum-plated coating at present.
The doping elements in the special optical fiber are not limited to only doping erbium bismuth jellyfish, ge, al and La can be added for co-doping according to proportion, the solubility of the rare earth elements in the prefabricated rod is increased, and meanwhile, the temperature sensitive coefficient can also be increased, so that the special optical fiber disclosed by the invention has a better temperature sensitive effect when being applied to practice.
The erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber with wide measurement temperature range and high concentration prepared by the preparation method has the following characteristic parameters: the diameter of the fiber core is 5.0-20.0 μm, the diameter of the cladding is 80.0-400.0 μm, the numerical aperture is 0.08-0.22, obvious up-conversion luminescence can be seen under pumping, the fiber is green, and the up-conversion spectrum has spectral lines of 532nm and 438 nm.
The wide-temperature-measuring-range high-concentration erbium-bismuth-codoped special optical fiber has the monotonic relation range of the fluorescence intensity change to the temperature of-200-350 ℃. The temperature test of the prepared high-concentration doped erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber can obtain a fluorescence spectrum at high temperature. The fluorescence spectrum of the optical fiber can still be tested in a liquid nitrogen low-temperature environment.
When the temperature is the same, the fluorescence intensity values of the two wave bands have opposite trend along with the temperature, and can be obtained through experimental data and later data processing, and the measurement precision of the temperature is less than or equal to 0.2 ℃, which shows the precision degree of the optical fiber on the temperature and the ideal effect in a sensor applied in the future.
The high-concentration erbium-bismuth co-doped special optical fiber has opposite monotone mapping relation to temperature in two wave bands of a fluorescence spectrum of the high-concentration erbium-bismuth co-doped special optical fiber, compared with the prior co-doped optical fiber, the opposite monotone relation can realize high resolution through a program algorithm, the temperature measurement precision is high, the temperature measurement range is wide, the high-concentration erbium-bismuth co-doped special optical fiber is 1400-1435 nm, and the fluorescence intensity value is in a rising trend along with the temperature change. At 1560-1590 nm, the fluorescence intensity value shows a descending trend along with the temperature change, and has an opposite monotone mapping relation to the temperature, and at-200-350 ℃, the relation can realize self-diagnosis of the temperature sensor through a custom algorithm, namely, the function of providing warning when the sensor breaks down is realized.
According to the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:

And finally, placing the fiber in a wire drawing tower, keeping the temperature at 1800 ℃ for 30 minutes, maintaining the vacuum degree at-0.2 Bar, wherein the drawing speed is 10mm/min, and finally performing PMI coating to prepare the erbium-bismuth co-doped special optical fiber with the fiber core diameter of 20.0 mu m, the cladding diameter of 400.0 mu m and the numerical aperture of 0.22 by adopting operations of sectional coating, sectional heating curing and the like.
Example 3:
as shown in fig. 3, the experimental procedure for testing the temperature of the special optical fiber includes first stripping off the coating layer of the EBDF, connecting the pump laser 1 to the isolator 2, emitting laser of 974nm and 300mW by using a single-mode pump light source, bending the single-mode optical fiber 3 to the erbium-bismuth co-doped optical fiber 4 placed in the temperature measurement box 6, and finally displaying the result in the spectrometer 5. The method is specifically implemented by placing the processed EBDF on an optical fiber bracket for fixing, tensioning and straightening the optical fiber as much as possible, avoiding bending and preventing the bare EBDF optical fiber from being broken in the heating process. After the fiber is fixed, the spectrum is measured once with the spectrometer 5 and recorded as the original spectrum of the EBDF fiber. And (3) placing the EBDF in a temperature measuring box 6, controlling the temperature change, uniformly heating the optical fiber at the temperature of-200-350 ℃, raising the temperature by 10 ℃ per liter, recording the fluorescence intensity value once 30min after the temperature is stabilized, and finally leading out the data from a spectrometer 5 for mapping.
