Detailed Description
In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, which is therefore not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, a large effective area optical fiber for high-speed optical communication applications according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a core layer and a cladding layer.
Specifically, the fiber core layer sequentially comprises a trapezoid structure 1 with a sunken center, a high refractive index layer 2 and a transition layer 3 from the center of the fiber core to the outside, and the cladding sequentially comprises an inner cladding 4, a sunken inner cladding 5 and an outer cladding 6 from the inside to the outside.
The refractive index relation of each layer satisfies: n is n 1 <n 2 ,n 2 >n 3 >n 4 =n 6 >n 5 Wherein n is 1 、n 2 、n 3 、n 4 、n 5 、n 6 The refractive index of the trapezoid 1, the refractive index of the high refractive index layer 2, the refractive index of the transition layer 3, the refractive index of the inner cladding layer 4, the refractive index of the depressed inner cladding layer 5 and the refractive index of the outer cladding layer 6 are respectively.
Furthermore, the trapezoid structure 1 consists of 3-6 uniform dielectric layers, and the electric field energy of the optical fiber is distributed in a non-Gaussian mode in the fiber core as a result of the center sinking, and the electric field energy is diffused to two sides along the fiber core, so that the effective area of the optical fiber is increased. The refractive index of the trapezoid structure 1 sequentially increases from the center of the fiber core to the outside. The doping concentration of the fiber core is reduced, and the section of the optical fiber is optimized, namely, the fiber core layer of the sunken trapezoid structure 1 is adopted, so that the scattering and absorption of light caused by doping other impurities besides the absorptivity of SiO2 can be reduced. The lower the concentration of the doping material, the closer the distribution of the core refractive index is to pure quartz, and the smaller the loss due to Rayleigh scattering.
The width of the fiber core structure is 7-8 mu m, and the effective area of the optical fiber is improved by adopting a larger fiber core diameter. The width of the trapezoid structure 1 is 2-3.5 mu m, and the relative refractive index delta n of the center of the fiber core of the trapezoid structure 1 1 0 to 0.2%, the width of the high refractive index layer 2 is 1.5 to 2.5 μm, and the relative refractive index of the high refractive index layer 2 is Deltan 2 0.30 to 0.40%, the width of the transition layer 3 is 2 to 3 mu m, and the relative refractive index delta n of the transition layer 3 3 0.06 to 0.09%, wherein the relative refractive index isIn n i Is the absolute refractive index of the specific position of the optical fiber, and n c Is the refractive index of pure silica. The proportion of each uniform medium layer of the trapezoid structure 1 is controlled, so that the cut-off wavelength can be shortened, the attenuation of the optical fiber can be reduced, the mode field diameter can be increased, the dispersion of 1550nm can be reduced, the zero dispersion wavelength can be increased, and the zero dispersion slope can be improved. The proper thickness and refractive index of the fiber core layer can lead the MFD to be better, and the dispersion and the cutoff wavelength lambdac to reach a proper range.
Further, the width of the inner cladding 4 is 4-7 μm, and the refractive index of the inner cladding 4 is the same as the refractive index of the outer cladding 6. In order to control the cut-off wavelength while ensuring bending properties at large curvatures, the distance between the depressed inner cladding 5 and the core edge is usually less than 7 μm, and the width of the inner cladding 4 of the present invention is 4 to 7 μm.
Further, the width of the depressed inner cladding 5 is 4-8 μm, and impurity fluorine or boron ions are doped in the silicon dioxide of the depressed inner cladding 5, so that the refractive index of the depressed inner cladding 5 is lower relative to the refractive indexes of the inner cladding 4 and the outer cladding 6, the refractive index of the whole cladding is reduced, and the refractive index difference between the cladding and the fiber core layer is increased, thereby improving the bending resistance of the optical fiber. Due to the limitation of the process, the penetration phenomenon is easy to occur at the interface of the depressed inner cladding 5, the inner cladding 4 and the outer cladding 6, so that the doping concentration of the depressed inner cladding 5 cannot be too high, and the relative refractive index delta n of the depressed inner cladding 5 5 The width of the sinking inner cladding is-0.1 to-0.24 percent, the width of the sinking inner cladding is not too wide, the width of the sinking inner cladding 5 is 4-8 mu m, and the sinking inner cladding 5 can improve the restraint capability of light in the fiber core layer and increase lambada c, so that the effect of relieving the light power leakage is achieved to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the cladding structure is sunk, the refractive index profile is adjusted by changing the depth, width and position of the sunk, so that a high-order mode leaks out of the cladding, the high-order mode is restrained, and single-mode operation is realized. The outer cladding 6 is a silica glass layer.
Further, the effective area of the optical fiber at the wavelength of 1500nm is 120-130 mu m 2
Further, the mode field diameter at 1550nm is 11.5-12.5 μm.
Further, the attenuation coefficient at 1550nm is less than or equal to 0.23dB/km.
Further, a cutoff wavelength of the optical cable composed of the optical fibers is less than or equal to 1530nm.
Further, at a wavelength of 1625nm, the macrobend loss of the optical fiber at a bend radius of 30mm at 100 turns is equal to or less than 0.1dB.

The embodiment is smaller in bending loss, basically accords with the technical standard of G.654.E, and the optical fiber has smaller bending loss, so that the transmission performance is better when Liu Depu is set and used. As shown in FIG. 4b, when the bending radius is 30mm, the macrobending loss at 1550 working wavelength is 0.102dB/km, and the microbending loss is 0.0025dB/km, which basically accords with the technical standard of G.654. E. The total dispersion consists of waveguide dispersion, material dispersion, refractive index profile dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. The first three terms belong to wavelength dispersion, and the last term is modal dispersion. As shown in FIG. 5, the optical fiber has a zero dispersion wavelength of 1.2923 μm and a zero dispersion slope of 0.1002ps/nm 2 * km. The implementation dispersion is small, and basically accords with the technical standard of G.654. E. As shown in FIG. 6, the mode field area at a wavelength of 1550 μm is 122.
