Abstract
【解決手段】(i)第1の屈折率n1を有するシリカ系の希土類ドープトコアであって、1質量%より多くYbを含み、1150nmと1350nmの間に位置する波長で5dB/km未満の損失、1380nmの波長で20dB/km未満の損失、および0.8を超えるスロープ効率を有するコア、および(ii)コアを取り囲み、n1>n2となるような第2の屈折率n2を有する少なくとも1つのシリカ系クラッド、を有してなる光ファイバが開示されている。
【選択図】図1B
Description
以下の定義および用語法が当該技術分野において通常用いられる。
Δ%=100×(ni 2−nc 2)/2ni 2
により定義される屈折率の相対的尺度であり、ここで、niは、iと示される屈折率プロファイルセグメントの最大屈折率であり、参照屈折率であるncは、クラッド層の屈折率にとられる。そのセグメントの全ての点が、クラッドに対して測定された関連屈折率を有する。
(i) 第1の屈折率n1を有するシリカ系の希土類ドープトコアであって、1質量%より多く希土類ドーパントを含み、1150nmと1450nmとの間に位置する波長で5dB/km未満の、1380nm近くの波長で20dB/km未満の減衰を、0.7(70%)を超えるスロープ効率を有するコア、および
(ii) コアを取り囲み、n1>n2である第2の屈折率n2を有する、少なくとも1つのシリカ系クラッド、
を含む。
希土類 1質量%を超える、
Al 0.5から15質量%、
Ge 0.1から15質量%、
F 0から1質量%、
を含有する。
希土類 1.05から2質量%、
P 0から2質量%、
Al 2から10質量%、
Ge 3から15質量%、および
F 0.1から0.5質量%、
である。Ybドープトコア12は、1.03〜1.11マイクロメートル範囲でレーザ用に使用できる。
F 0.5から5質量%、
B 0.5から20質量%
外側クラッド16に関するドーパントの量は、内側クラッドのNAが0.15から0.5となるように選択されることが好ましい。しかしながら、外側クラッド16がBおよび/またはFの少なくとも一方を含有することが好ましい。Bの量が少なくとも3質量%であることが好ましい。外側クラッド16中に8質量%より多いBと共に、1質量%より多いFを有することが好ましく、2質量%より多いFがより好ましい。外側クラッド16が5質量%未満のF、および15質量%未満のBを有することが好ましい。BおよびFの量は、Fが2から4質量%、Bが3から15質量%であることがさらにより好ましい。
図2および3は、図1Bの例示の光ファイバの相対屈折率プロファイルを概略的に示している。より詳しくは、図2および3は、コアの中心から測定された距離に対する光ファイバの屈折率のパーセントデルタ(純粋なシリカの屈折率に対する)を示している。図2は、例えば、図1Bに示されたファイバの線Y−Yに沿った、空気孔を含まない領域に亘りとられた屈折率プロファイルを概略的に示している。図3は、同じファイバであるが、空気孔24を含む領域(例えば、図1Bに示されたファイバの線A−Aに沿った)に亘りとられた屈折率プロファイルを概略的に示している。
図1Aおよび1Bのファイバは、外付け(OVD)法により製造される。OVD法は、スートプリフォームを製造するために、所望の蒸気成分(シリカおよび所望のドーパントを含む)を火炎中で酸素と反応させて、心棒上にスート粒子を堆積させることによって、光ファイバを製造する方式である。次いで、心棒を取り外した後、このスートプリフォームを、高温炉内で中実ガラスに固結させる。コア/内側クラッド/外側クラッドの組成物は、スートプリフォーム形成プロセスにおいて各層について異なる蒸気成分を使用することによって得られる。最初に、コアプリフォームを生成し、次いで固結させ、その後、コア/内側クラッドプリフォームの生成および固結を行い、さらにその後、外側クラッド外付け法と別の固結工程を行う。次いで、最終的なプリフォームを公知のファイバ線引き法によって、単一または二重クラッド型単一偏波光ファイバ10に線引きする。
