Description

Manufacturing method of ultra-long period fiber grating based on period fiber core offset
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber sensing, and relates to a manufacturing method of an ultra-long period fiber grating based on period fiber core offset.
Background
The fiber grating is one of the most rapidly developed fiber passive devices in recent decades, and the application of the sensor is particularly important along with the rapid development of the information era. The appearance of the optical fiber and the optical fiber sensor thereof provides new power for industrial development and simultaneously promotes the development speed of the information communication field. The fiber grating is an optical fiber structure formed by periodically modulating the refractive index of an optical fiber by a certain method, and has the advantages of small volume, low return loss, light weight, simple manufacture, flexible and changeable structure and the like. In recent years, fiber gratings are often used for measuring sensing parameters such as temperature, strain, refractive index, and bending, and are also widely used in fiber grating sensors in the communication fields such as fiber amplifiers, wavelength division multiplexers, and fiber dispersion compensation. Bao et al have studied a depressed clad Fiber comprising a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) with core-shift positioning, with bend sensitivity up to-124.17 dB/mm -1 The specially positioned FBGs have a symmetrical geometry and therefore have a certain dependency in identifying the bending direction. Wang et al manufactured a two-dimensional bending sensor based on three-core fiber, on which two different Long Period Gratings (LPG) were engraved, and the maximum bending sensitivity was 3.324nm/m -1 . However, the device fabrication of fiber gratings is complex and requires expensive high power lasers such as UV, femtosecond and CO 2 Laser, etc., the structure of the optical fiber is generally susceptible to changes in the external environment. Meanwhile, some bending sensors based on directional couplers have been developed. JR Guzman-Sepulveda et al studied a Two-Core Fiber (TCF) design for use as a directional coupler for a Fiber from 0-0.2653m -1 Has a small curvature range of-137.8763 nm/m -1 The coupling parameters change with the change of the bending curvature, the spectrum changes correspondingly, although the sensitivity is very high, a relatively long optical fiber (e.g., E.E.)20 cm) which limits the practical application. Furthermore, according to the waveguide coupling mechanism, precise alignment between the optical fibers is required to achieve perfect phase matching. In recent years, modal interferometers have attracted much attention as alternatives due to the advantages of simple manufacture and flexible assembly. Zhang et al invented a MZI-based vector bending sensor, which is a biconical photonic crystal fiber structure composed of fusion splicing methods, and due to the asymmetry of the dual cores, two opposite bending directions can be distinguished, and the maximum bending sensitivity is 18.29nm/m -1 And-18.13 nm/m -1 However, the photonic crystal fiber is expensive and has no general applicability, and the offset structure can only identify the positive and negative directions and is generally fragile. H.Gong et al propose a curvature sensor based on hollow-core photonic crystal fiber interferometer at 0-9.9m -1 Has a large range of 0.232nm/m -1 But the structure exhibits relatively low bending sensitivity.
Based on the above background, the present invention provides an optical Fiber manufacturing method with simple operation and high repeatability to implement a periodic cascade offset Fiber core on a Single Mode Fiber (SMF) to manufacture a new Ultra-Long Period Fiber Grating (ULPFG). Aiming at different periods, different Period lengths and different Fiber Core offsets, a simulation model of a Core-Offset Ultra-Long periodic Fiber Grating (CO-ULPFG) based on periodic Fiber Core Offset is established by adopting a Beam Propagation Method (BPM), and a foundation is laid for experiments. Through simulation results, the parameters are finally set to be Λ =2mm, d =3 μm and N =3, and the main limitation of the traditional optical fiber bending sensor is overcome.

The specific implementation mode is as follows:
the invention provides a manufacturing method of a Fiber Grating (CO-ULPFG) based on a periodic Fiber Core Offset Ultra-Long Period, the structural schematic diagram of the CO-ULPFG is shown in figure 1, wherein figure 1 (a) is the structural schematic diagram of the CO-ULPFG, Λ in the figure is the Grating Period, and d represents the Offset distance of the Fiber Core, namely the Offset. The four directions of the calibration grating are respectively 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 °, and the left view is shown in fig. 1 (b).
The CO-ULPFG is subjected to theoretical simulation analysis by adopting a beam propagation method, the influence of offset, grating period length and period number on a transmission spectrum is researched, and a foundation is laid for experimental manufacture. A3D simulation model of the CO-ULPFG is constructed, the grating period is 3mm, the offset is 2.0 mu m, and the number of dislocation structures is N =3. When the input light source initially enters the grating, all the energy is concentrated in the core, and no energy is lost. When light reaches the first dislocation structure, energy in the fiber core is partially excited into the cladding, the rest energy is continuously remained in the fiber core for transmission, partial energy in the cladding is coupled back into the fiber core at the second dislocation structure, partial energy is coupled out at the third dislocation structure, and the process verifies the coupling principle of the grating, namely the energy in the fiber core is periodically coupled out and back. When the phase matching condition is satisfied, the strongest resonance is formed with the cladding mode, and thus a grating transmission spectrum is formed. With the increase of the number of the dislocation structures, the resonance peak value becomes deeper gradually, and the bandwidth becomes narrower gradually. When three dislocation structures are adopted, a resonance peak with an extinction ratio of 21.3dB appears near 1240nm, and the resonance peak can be used for sensing measurement. Different offsets can cause the coupling mode of the grating to change, thereby affecting the spectral characteristics of the grating. For CO-ULPFG, the basic parameters of the optical fiber are kept unchanged, the period of the grating is set to be 2mm, the shift amount of the grating is selected to be 2.0 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.0 μm and 3.5 μm, the change of the transmission spectrum is simulated and observed respectively, the resonance peak value is changed from 1160nm to 1320nm along with the increase of the shift amount of the grating, and the four shift amounts are fitted with the central wavelength of the resonance peak value to obtain the linear relation. The offset of the fixed grating is 3.0 μm, the grating grids of the fixed grating are set to be 1mm, 2mm and 3mm for simulation, and the central wavelength of the resonance peak value is observed to generate red shift along with the increase of the period, so that a better linear relation is shown.
A schematic diagram of a CO-ULPFG manufacturing setup is shown in fig. 2. The device comprises three parts: a Super continuous Spectrum light source (SCS) with the wavelength range of 400 nm-1700 nm, an Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) with the resolution of 0.02nm and a semi-automatic Optical fiber processing platform (LDS 2.5) integrating the functions of cutting, splicing and moving the Optical fiber. The semi-automatic processing platform integrating the cutting system and the welding system is used for completing grating cutting and welding operation, and the whole platform is controlled by a computer. In the cutting system part, the real-time monitoring is realized through a computer, the cutting system uses ultrasonic vibration to replace a traditional blade, the cutting method does not need to be directly contacted with the optical fiber, and the end face of the cut optical fiber is smoother. In the welding system part, a common optical fiber welding program is selected, a new dislocation welding program is compiled, the discharge intensity is 400bits, the discharge time is 2000ms so as to be suitable for the welding of a dislocation structure, and the deviation is selected within the range of 2.0-3.5 mu m to carry out experiments by combining parameters obtained by simulation.
Fig. 3 shows the change in the grating spectrum with Λ =2mm and d =3.0 μm depending on the number N of the dislocation structures. When only one dislocation structure is arranged, the spectrum has about 3dB loss and no coupling peak, when two dislocation structures are arranged, a coupling peak of about 5dB appears in the spectrum, and when three dislocation structures are arranged, a coupling resonance peak of about 26.22dB is formed at the wavelength of 1231.6 nm. In summary, when the three dislocation structures are periodically arranged on the optical fiber axis, strong modulation occurs, so as to form strong coupling, and experimental results show that the size of the grating is only 8mm, which is more compact than the ULPFG manufactured by a laser.
The variation of the transmission spectrum with the period length of the grating is shown in fig. 4 (a), and by combining simulation analysis, experimental parameters select grating period lengths of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm respectively, fixed offset is 3.0 μm, parameters of other instruments are unchanged, grating samples with period lengths of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm are manufactured for research, the transmission spectrum is observed, and the position of the center wavelength is tracked and recorded. As shown in fig. 4 (b), as the grating period is gradually increased, the resonance peak shifts to the long wavelength direction and shows a better fitting characteristic.
The influence relationship of the change of the offset on the transmission characteristic of the CO-ULPFG is shown in FIG. 5, the condition that the transmission spectrum curve changes along with the offset is shown in 5 (a), and the influence of different offsets on the spectrum curve is analyzed. In the experiment, samples with a fixed grating period length of 2mm and offsets of 2.0 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.0 μm, and 3.5 μm CO-ULPFG were prepared, where the number of dislocation structures of the sample with an offset of 2.0 μm was N =5 and the number of dislocation structures of the sample with an offset of 2.5 μm, 3.0 μm, and 3.5 μm was N =3. The experimental result shows that the resonance peak shifts to the long wavelength direction along with the increase of the offset. Different offsets have different coupling constants, the larger the offset is, the stronger the coupling capability is, the different numbers of dislocation structures required for grating formation are also different, tracking recording is carried out on the central wavelengths of the resonance peaks with different offsets, and the linear fitting curve is shown in fig. 5 (b).
Temperature testing was performed on CO-ULPFG with period Λ =2mm, d =3.0 μm, N =3. In the experiment, the grating was placed in a temperature controlled box with one end fixed with a fiber holder and the other end hanging a 10g weight to avoid the effect of fiber bending on the transmission spectrum. The temperature change range is 30-90 ℃, the change condition of the recorded spectrum is shown in fig. 6 (a), the wavelength of the resonance peak is red shifted due to the temperature rise, the peak wave is transmitted by Gu Bianshen, and the temperature and the wavelength and the amplitude of the resonance peak show better linear relation through linear fitting. As shown in FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c), the wavelength sensitivity and the amplitude sensitivity were measured at 80 pm/deg.C and 0.014 dB/deg.C, respectively. The sensitivity of this sample is at the same level as other ULPFGs based on SMF.
The bending test was performed on a CO-ULPFG with a period Λ =2mm, d =3.0 μm, N =3, and first, the bending characteristic of the grating in the 0 ° direction was tested. The curvature increases gradually each time the mobile station is pushed 2mm inwards. After recording a set of data, the grating is rotated by an angular step of 90 ° and the process is repeated. Fig. 7 (a) - (d) show the transmission spectrum variation with respect to 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° bending curvatures, respectively. The CO-ULPFG was measured over a curvature range of 0-7.041m-1, corresponding to the directions of the four gratings 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 °, respectively, forThe evolution of the transmission spectrum of the bending curvature is shown in fig. 7. FIG. 7 (a) shows the attenuation of the blue shift and peak attenuation of the resonant wavelength when the CO-ULPFG is bent in the 0 ° direction, with total fluctuations of 11.364nm and 12.701dB, corresponding sensitivities of-1.834 nm/m, respectively -1 And-1.633 dB/m -1 . Fig. 7 (b) shows the evolution of the transmission spectrum bent in the direction of 90 °. The resonant wavelength and the peak value attenuation change differently along with the increase of the curvature, the total fluctuation of the resonant wavelength and the peak value attenuation are-4.230 nm and-9.234 dB respectively, and the corresponding sensitivity is-0.583 nm/m -1 And-1.612 dB/m -1 . Fig. 7 (c) shows the evolution of the transmission spectrum with respect to the bending curvature along the 180 ° bending direction.
