Background technology
The dispersion compensation technology is the core key technology of speed fiber optic communication systems.Dispersion compensating fiber is the important devices of dispersion compensation in the speed fiber optic communication systems.Common dispersion compensating fiber forms two asymmetrical coupling fibre cores by highly doped and low-doped at surrounding layer at fibre core.Near phase matching wavelengths, when wavelength shift, because the redistribution of the space of mould field, make the effective refractive index difference that different wave length " impression " arrives, that is during wavelength variations, group velocity changes, and has so also just formed big waveguide dispersion.This dispersion compensating fiber generally will be formed centrally the fibre core that radius is little and refractive index is high in optical fiber.Fibre core and inner cladding have big contrast of refractive index.In order to realize big waveguide dispersion, wish to increase fiber core refractive index by mixing.When refractive index is too high, can between fibre core and covering, produce stress, cause the instability of optical fiber parameter.So doping content is subjected to the restriction of stress can not be too high.Therefore common dispersion compensation optical fiber is subjected to the restriction of mode field area and stress, and waveguide dispersion is difficult to do greatly, the typical dispersion values of present dispersion compensating fiber-100~-200ps/nmkm between.The mode field area of the dispersion compensating fiber by the doping means is generally less, is slightly larger than 20 μ m 2

Embodiment
This big dispersive optical fiber comprises seven groups of asymmetric coupling twin-core structures.Wherein six groups of twin-core structures along the circumferential direction evenly distribute.Another twin-core structure is positioned at the center of circumference.Each group all is an asymmetric coupling twin-core structure.This asymmetrical coupling twin-core structure can form super model.When wavelength variations, super model can change in spatial distributions.Such as when wavelength less than inner core and outside during the phase matching wavelengths of core, the mould field distribution is at inner core; When being in the phase matching wavelengths of inner core and outer core, the mould field is distributed in inner core and outer core simultaneously; When wavelength during greater than phase matching wavelengths, the mould field mainly is distributed in outer core.And the refractive index of inner core and outer core is different, is asymmetric.So the wavelength difference, mould field distribution difference, group velocity are just different.That is during wavelength variations, great changes will take place for group velocity, that is this structure has big chromatic dispersion.The xsect of this optical fiber as shown in Figure 3.Gray area is an airport among the figure, and white portion is a silica dioxide medium.The 1st, the inner core of one group of twin-core structure wherein, the 2nd, inner cladding, the 3rd, outer core, the 4th, surrounding layer.Inner core is solid silicon dioxide region, and outer core is the ring with a circle aperture.The aperture of outer core aperture is 40% ± 5% of an inner core small aperture.Therefore the mean refractive index of the ring at this circle aperture place just can form a fibre core-outer core than the height of covering.But the mean refractive index of this fibre core is littler than the refractive index of inner core, that is the mould field group velocity in the outer core is bigger than the mould field group velocity of inner core.Near coupled wavelength, during wavelength variations, the mould field redistributes in inner core and outer core, the change that the group velocity generation is strong, thus cause big chromatic dispersion.Single twin-core structure mode field area is smaller.If during with single twin-core unsymmetric structure propagates light, power density is bigger, that brings like this is non-linear also bigger.Here seven groups of same twin-core unsymmetric structures have been adopted.So just can be divided into seven parts to launched power, the power density of each twin-core structure will significantly reduce, and so just greatly reduces non-linear.
The structure of the long-pending photonic crystal fiber of the big die face of this big chromatic dispersion as shown in Figure 3.Pitch of holes (grating constant) Λ=2.3 μ m.Macropore diameter d=1.4 μ m.The hole diameter of outer core is φ=0.55 μ m.
The mould field distribution is as shown in Figure 4 during less than phase matching wavelengths when wavelength.As seen from the figure, the mould field mainly is distributed in inner core.In the mould field distribution of phase matching wavelengths place as shown in Figure 5.The mould field is distributed in inner core and outer core simultaneously as seen from the figure.Wavelength mainly is distributed in outer core in the mould field during greater than phase matching wavelengths.As shown in Figure 6.The effective refractive index of pattern with wavelength variations as shown in Figure 7.Horizontal ordinate is a wavelength among this figure, and ordinate is the effective refractive index index.Solid line be the effective refractive index of basic mode with wavelength change, dotted line is that the effective refractive index index of high-order mode is with wavelength change.The chromatic dispersion of photonic crystal fiber as shown in Figure 8.Horizontal ordinate is a wavelength, and ordinate is a dispersion values.As can be seen from this figure, chromatic dispersion has-individual chromatic dispersion peak value at wavelength 1.545 μ m, and chromatic dispersion is up to-4500ps/nmkm.
This optical fiber adopts makes general " piling-draw " technology making of photonic crystal fiber.The prefabricated rods of making this optical fiber is hollow and solid quartz ampoule.Have three kinds of quartz ampoules: A type, Type B, C type.The A type is solid quartz pushrod, and B, C type are hollow quartz ampoules.Wherein the internal diameter of Type B be the C type internal diameter 40% ± 5%.At first with the drawing-down of three kinds of quartz ampoule original preform rod heating and melting, be 3mm up to the external diameter of quartz pushrod.Then C type quartz ampoule is piled into a branch of prefabricated rods by the hexangle type lattice arrangement, at this moment this a branch of prefabricated rods all is made up of the C pipe with big airport.Arrangement mode by Fig. 3 changes the C pipe into the A pipe in the position of inner core then, and the position of core changes the C pipe into the B pipe outside.Be arranged in amplification pattern at last, prefabricated rods in the middle of Here it is as the equal proportion of Fig. 3.Prefabricated rods is put into fiber drawing tower and is carried out melt drawing in the middle of this, just becomes required as Fig. 3 large mode field area large chromatic dispersion photonic crystal fiber at last.
