Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of optical fiber preform manufacturing, in particular to a high-phosphorus-doped optical fiber preform and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous progress of high-power fiber lasers, high-power fiber lasers are being used in more and more fields. In particular, in the emerging optical access network, free space optical communication, laser radar, earth gravitational wave detection, ground searching, laser ranging, etc., a 1.5 μm band high power continuous or pulsed optical fiber amplifier is required.
Ytterbium-doped high power fiber amplifiers, while technically mature, operate in the 1.06 μm band and appear to be frustrating in these applications where the 1.5 μm band is required. The damage threshold of human eyes in the 1.5 mu m wave band is higher than that in the 1.06 mu m wave band by more than 4 orders of magnitude, and the method has the characteristic of 'human eye safety', which is of great significance in the fields requiring personnel participation, such as laser ranging, laser radar, remote sensing, space communication and the like, so that people are paying attention to and developing high-power 1.5 mu m wave band optical fiber amplifiers more and more.
The erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber is suitable for application in a 1.5 mu m wave band, and has high doping concentration and high energy conversion. Because of its high absorptivity, the product is an ideal choice for designing high-power optical amplifiers, and is widely used in different application markets, such as CATV for telecommunications and low-power laser radar.
The individually erbium-doped gain fiber cannot meet the high power operation requirements due to the concentration quenching effect. Based on the double-clad fiber cladding pumping concept, erbium-ytterbium (Er/Yb) co-doped double-clad fiber appears. The double-cladding gain fiber has the advantages that one erbium ion is surrounded by a plurality of ytterbium ions because the ytterbium ion concentration is larger than the erbium ion concentration, thereby avoiding the clustering of the erbium ions and improving the doping concentration of the erbium ions. In the doped fiber, ytterbium ions absorb pumping light first, then the erbium ions are excited through sensitization, and the population inversion of erbium wave band particles is formed, so that the advantages of wide ytterbium ion absorption band, large pumping absorption coefficient and high-power multimode pumping permission are fully utilized. Meanwhile, the erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber has higher Yb doping concentration, and when the MCVD technology is used for preparing the prefabricated rod, the high Yb doping concentration can cause 'clusters'. Therefore, when preparing the erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber core rod, high-concentration phosphorus P is required to be doped to improve the solubility of Yb, and meanwhile, the photodarkening is favorably inhibited. However, in actual preparation, the introduced P deposition concentration is low, so that the doping concentration of Yb cannot meet the design requirement, and how to increase the doping concentration of P becomes a problem to be solved.
