Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical fiber and preform for producing the optical fiber. It is known to provide a core region and a cladding region for these fibers.
- the core region has a core refractive index which is increased with respect to a refractive index level of a glass matrix. This increase is achieved by zudotieren at least one other substance.
- the numerical aperture is formed in this case by the refractive index difference of the core region and the glass matrix, which also represents the cladding region. To generate the necessary refractive index difference, it is also possible to leave at least parts of the core region at the level of the refractive index of the glass matrix and to achieve the required numerical aperture by lowering the refractive index of the cladding region.
- Both the doping of the core and the cladding region have chemical and procedural limitations. In order to produce fibers with high refractive index difference, it is necessary to provide both the core and the cladding region with appropriate dopants.
- the numerical aperture of the optical fiber is then substantially determined by the core refractive index and the mantle breaking number, i. H. determined by the core region and the cladding region of the optical fiber. It is greater, the greater the refractive index difference between the core region and the refractive index reduced cladding region.
- the different refractive indices of the core and of the cladding region are usually produced by adding different dopants to the glass matrix of the optical fiber in the production of the preform, which act to increase the refractive index or reduce the refractive index.
- Such high NA optical fibers are already known and are described, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication JP 57032404. In this case, it is important, in particular with regard to a low-loss light pipe as possible, that the refractive index profile within the preform and later also in the optical fiber is maintained as precisely as possible and does not change.
- DE 2426376 discloses a hollow optical waveguide with a thin inner layer. However, this serves as a photoconductive layer.
- DE2930399 describes a fiber with a barrier layer, which ensures a high optical bandwidth. Disadvantages, however, in this method that is used as dopant B 2 0 3 , which introduces additional interface problems and also is not part of the core and / or the shell. Furthermore, the jacket also does not have the required refractive index reduction to the glass matrix.
- DE 2530786 describes a method in which the last layer applied to the inner wall of a tube is doped with a less volatile doping agent when heated than the layer of the inner coating lying in front of it. This method is not applicable to the problem, because the problem to be solved is not the prevention of evaporation, but the prevention of the formation of volatile substances as a result of chemical reactions between the different glass components and the improvement of the mechanical stability.
- DE2647419 likewise discloses an optical waveguide comprising an intermediate layer, core region and cladding region. In this case, however, the cladding region is at the glass matrix level, ie it has no refractive index trench. Therefore, only very small numerical apertures can be realized with this invention. Similar disadvantages occur in DE2841909.
- optical fiber and a preform for producing an optical fiber having the features of claim 1.
- the subclaims contain expedient or advantageous embodiments of the optical fiber or the preform.
- the optical fiber and the preform for producing the optical fiber consists of a core region and a cladding region having a refractive index increased refractive index of a glass matrix and refractive index of the refractive index of the glass matrix reduced Mantelbrechress, wherein the numerical aperture of the optical fiber of the core region and the cladding region is determined , Since at least one spacer layer is formed as a protective, diffusion, barrier and / or buffer layer between the core region and the metal region a.
- the spacer layer has a thickness at which the optical aperture of the optical fiber is composed of variable portions of the positively doped core and the negatively doped minor region or is influenced by both portions.
- the at least one spacer layer is formed as a protective, diffusion, barrier and / or buffer layer between the core region and the metal region a.
- the wall thickness of the spacer layer is designed such that the numerical aperture of the optical fiber is composed of variable proportions of the positively doped core and the negatively doped metal region or is influenced by both of these proportions.
- the spacer layer is either completely added to the core region or the cladding region in its wall thickness, or it is so thin that it is virtually insignificant, with the middle region and core region d Determine the size of the numerical aperture together.
- the spacer layer prevents the mentioned diffusion processes or limits them at least to the region of this layer region. It thus serves to maintain the refractive index profile and thus a value generated during manufacture for the numerical aperture.
- the cladding region of the optical fiber has at least one refractive index-reduced trench in one embodiment.
- the optical fiber is formed as a high numerical aperture optical fiber in the form of a high NA fiber.
- the m at least one Dista nzsch a a more intermediate or.
- Overhaul gauges are a differentiated chemical composition.
- Glasses with different chemical composition can not always be combined with each other, so that they make no or only poor connections with each other.
- the chemical composition can be determined with the aid of phase diagrams. So it may happen that certain types of glass form gaps in the mix, so that they are not combinable. Even if a M ischungslücke represents an extreme value, it also comes with the combination of miscible glasses to problems, for example, due to the different thermal expansion coefficient. Transitional or intermediate glasses serve in such a case as an intermediary for different types of glass. Therefore, it is provided in one embodiment of the spacer layer according to the invention that it acts as at least one transition glass between the core and cladding region of the glass fiber. For this purpose, it is provided that the spacer layer consists of areas of different glass compositions.
- the spacer layer in one embodiment consists of a pure quartz glass layer.
- the optical fiber is formed as an optical fiber with a high numerical aperture in the form of a so-called high-NA fiber.
- the spacer layer itself may have at least one dopant of the core region and / or the cladding region in an expedient embodiment. Such saturation with one or both dopants can be tolerated as long as the spacer layer prevents further diffusion of the dopants or thereby forms a suitable intermediate glass.
- the numerical aperture NA of the fiber has a value of more than 0.20 and is thus in the high-NA range.
- the thickness of the spacer layer has, in an expedient embodiment, a value of 0.05 to 3.5 ⁇ , based on a standard fiber cross-section of 125 ⁇ . This value can be converted accordingly to other fiber cross-sections or preform designs.
- the spacer layer also offers another advantage.
- the resulting numerical aperture of the fiber is in addition to the absolute refractive index difference between the core and cladding highly dependent on the wall thickness of the spacer layer. Very thin wall thicknesses have virtually no effect on the resulting numerical aperture, which is ideally composed of the additivity of the refractive index differences of the core and the cladding region.
- the numerical aperture is increasingly determined only by the refractive index difference of the core to the spacer layer.
- the proportion or influence of the refractive index-reduced cladding region to the numerical aperture decreases successively.
- the wall thickness of the spacer layer within the preform has a thickness over which the contribution of the cladding region to the numerical aperture of the fiber is determined and adjustable.
- the wall thickness of the spacer layer is often procedurally more precisely adjustable than the refractive index reduction of the cladding region, which is usually realized via OVD techniques such as plasma outside vapor deposition techniques or flame burners.
- the spacer layer also acts as a kind of buffer layer to absorb process-induced refractive index disturbances to a certain extent.
- individual layers deviate from the round geometry and can be configured as a polygon, preferably octahedron or hexagon.
- At least one of the spacer layers, the core region and / or the jacket region may have a cross-section, at least in sections, deviating from the circular symmetry, preferably a hexagonal or octagonal cross-section.
- a plurality of refractive index-reduced step structures may be provided, which differ in their chemical composition and / or thickness.
- exemplary embodiments with a plurality of trenches or lamellar structures are suitable.
- recesses are provided at least in sections for individual layers. This causes a particularly good mode mixture.

- the attached Figures 1 and 2 serve to clarify.
- the same reference numbers are used for identical or equivalent parts. det.
- the following description applies to both multimode and single mode fibers.
- the optical fiber is designed so that its operation and / or the measurement of its numerical aperture can be done with full excitation of all modes capable of propagation or with a reduced mode excitation.

- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary refractive index profile with a graduated core, an adjacent refractive index-reduced likewise graduated cladding region and a thin spacer layer arranged therebetween.

- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment including an inner spacer layer, a refractive index lowered region, and an outer protective layer.
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary refractive index profile as a function of the fiber radius R.
- the refractive index given here is normalized to the refractive index value of a quartz glass serving as a base material for the optical fiber. Positive refractive index values show a higher refractive index compared to the refractive index of quartz glass, negative refractive index values show a reduced refractive index compared to the refractive index of the quartz glass.
- the refractive index in this example is either at the level of the quartz glass matrix and thus zero or below it and is negative within a cladding region 3.
- the Mantle region 3 may be formed by at least one refractive index trench. Thereafter, usually adjoins an area with the refractive index of the matrix.
- the spacer layer 4 is formed between the core region 1 and the fiber cladding 2, in particular the trench. This is in comparison to the core region 1 and the fiber cladding 2 and in particular to the trench 3 with a small thickness and thus thin.

- Fig. 2 shows an example of this.
