Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to an adjustable long-period fiber grating structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The temperature is adjusted, and the thermal expansion coefficient between materials does not match, so that the optical fiber produces the desired microbend. The deformation forms a phenomenon similar to the phenomenon that the conventional grating is modally coupled, thereby achieving the effect of modulating the filtering spectrum by temperature control. [Prior Art] Long-period fiber gratings are an important component in the optical communication market, and in commercial applications, gratings are mainly written on optical fibers by the Phase Mask Method. It can be used as a band rejection filter, Band Rejection Filter, Mode Converters, Gain Equalizers and many other applications. The advantage is that the all-fiber component has small loss, low insertion loss, low back reflection, etc., and is highly sensitive to high temperature, bending, torsion and load, so it is suitable for optical communication. And the development of sensors. However, the characteristics of long-period fiber gratings manufactured by the photomask method require precise control as process conditions are inconsistent, and cannot be restored and adjusted once written into the fiber. In view of the above advantages and disadvantages, long-period fiber gratings with external force, adjustable and simple construction are gradually becoming the focus of development: the following two US patents for long-period fiber grating filters are described. US Patent No. 6,282,341 B1 discloses a mechanically adjustable long 1261123 period fiber grating filter comprising a pair of periodic mechanical structures (also a periodic structure plus a flat plate) In the fiber clamp, the protrusions and protrusions of the upper and lower periodic structures are aligned and directly applied to the surface of the optical fiber, so that a direct refractive index disturbance is caused by the photoelastic effect on the optical fiber to form a grating; by adjusting the structure applied to the periodic structure Pressure, controlling the amount of disturbance of the refractive index, can modulate the depth (loss) of the spectrum; in addition, by the shape and arrangement of the periodic structure, the wavelength and spectral shape can be changed, and the polarization dependent loss (Polarization Dependence Loss) can be eliminated. The spirit of this patent focuses on refractive index perturbations caused by photoelastic effects caused by pressure-extrusion fibers, while avoiding the occurrence of microbending; in addition, the fibers must be jacketed, otherwise the efficiency will be poor and there will be additional losses ( 1-2dB). US Patent No. 6,408,117 81 also discloses a mechanically adjustable long-period fiber grating, which differs from the previous patent in that it has only a single-sided periodic structure, and the other side is a flat plate with an elastic material, and the optical fiber is clamped to both. Between the two, the screws are fixed and the elastic is adjusted; the purpose of the elastic material is to apply a uniform force to the optical fiber to form a continuous micro-bend under the support of the periodic structure when the two sides are engaged. The effect of the grating is achieved; the purpose of spectrum adjustment is achieved by adjusting the tightness of the screw, the selection of the elastic material, the design, arrangement and variation of the periodic structure. The spirit of this patent focuses on the grating effect created by the microbending, but the same fiber must be protected (coated with low refractive index plastic), otherwise the strength, reliability and depth (loss) of the spectrum are not ideal. . 1261123 [Draft] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a radiation-modulating grating structure, with temperature control to solve the ~, periodic light force to produce a continuous micro-f song of the optical fiber < nT + _ mechanical external damage problem. It should be able to cause the optical fiber to be the secondary purpose of the present invention, and to provide a method for manufacturing a fiber grating structure, and to replace the complicated steps required by most of the conventional techniques in the prior art, and to save costs. .

The substrates described above can be made of any of the following materials: metals, semiconductors, ceramics, ceramics, composites, and plastics.

This characteristic is the basis of the filtered 1261123. The processed substrate 100 has a designed periodic gentleman structure 150 thereon. However, the periodic structure 15 在 on the substrate 1 , the bonding agent 2 ( 10 ) and the single mode fiber 300 are combined with each other. The following two embodiments, that is, the manner in which the bonding agent is filled in the periodic structure and the bonding agent are filled in a part of the periodic state or the structure, will be explained one by one. As shown in Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B, the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, that is, the bonding agent is filled in a periodic structure. 2, the bonding agent 2〇〇 fills the trench 151 '(4) fiber · perpendicular to the periodic structure 15 (); put it on, because the adhesion of the bonding agent 200 and the capillary 5, the fiber 3 The automatic and periodic structure are completely integrated. When the temperature is lowered, the second thermal expansion coefficient of the bonding agent 2GG is different from the first thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate (10), so that the bonding agent 2〇 The downward contraction force, such as the horizontal contraction force of the arrow Y' and the substrate 1QG, as the arrow shape, promotes the formation of microbends; on the other hand, when the temperature rises, the embodiment will make Fiber bending is reduced. As shown in FIG. 2B, in this embodiment, the skirting temperature control circuit 111 is added. As shown in the figure, the temperature control line U1 can be fixed in the groove 151 of the 2-stage structure 15G, and can be used as the fulcrum of the fiber-optic frame and the degree adjustment is used to achieve direct connection to the lion Q and the substrate 四 (4). The temperature is ^. In this embodiment, the bonding agent is filled in the periodic structure, and the better result can be achieved by using the definition of the second thermal coefficient greater than the first heat secret. As shown in Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B, a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is a manner in which the bonding agent is filled in a portion of the periodic structure. In the three figures, the bonding agent 1261123 200 is applied to the top end of the periodic structure 150'. The top end may be pointed, circular arc or other shape, and may be evenly applied to the edge of the periodic structure, 'but The groove 151 is not filled, and only after the temperature at which the temperature is lowered at the end of the contact with the optical fiber 3', the horizontal contraction force of the substrate is as shown by the arrow ΧΓ. X2, the main effect and the bonding agent 2〇〇, the contraction force beside the end point, such as the arrow ΧΥΓ and XY2, promote the formation of microbending; in the case of an increase in temperature production, the present embodiment reverses the fiber The bending is reduced. Figure 3, the embodiment 2 is installed with a plurality of temperature control lines m. The temperature control line m, in the structure of the present embodiment, corresponds to each of the bonding agents 2, and contacts the end of the groove ln5, to directly adjust the temperature of the bonding agent 2 。. As shown in FIG. 4, it is a detailed perspective view of the substrate of the present invention, and the component numbers of the figure are based on FIG. 3, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. The stainless steel substrate, 100 includes a groove having a periodic structure of 15 inches. The groove 151 and a guiding groove 131 are a shallow semicircle (radius 10 〇 micrometer), and the purpose is to keep the optical fiber 3 垂直 perpendicular to the groove 151 when the surface of the periodic structure 150 is adhered to the fixed spacing. It is also possible to deliberately guide the fiber to a specific angle or bend with the periodic structure to achieve a special pitch change. ® Different types of bonding agents can be obtained by hardening different types of bonding agents according to the above examples. Details are given below: If a heat-curing bonding agent is used, ie, a high-temperature curing bonding agent such as EPO--TEn53^DT' Heat curing at 15 (rc), at this time, the fiber is Ϊ!! The temperature is kept flat, and after the curing is completed, as the object gradually cools to f temperature, the stress caused by the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch does not occur. The experimental results are shown in Fig. 6. The spectrum of the high-temperature filter is flat at 150 °C. However, as the temperature gradually decreases, the two resonance peaks become more and more obvious. With a periodic structure of 30 cycles, when the temperature reaches 25 °C, the second resonance mode loss peak reaches -16 dB. A room temperature curing bonding agent, such as a room temperature curing bonding agent, such as Chemi tech U-425, which must be exposed to an ultraviolet light source for a few minutes to harden, at which point the fiber remains flat at room temperature and is reduced after curing. The temperature of the body can be gradually enhanced by the stress caused by the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients described above. The experimental results are shown in Fig. 7. The spectrum of the cement cured at room temperature is used in the present invention. The spectrum is flat, but as the temperature gradually decreases to -15 ° C, the second resonance mode loss peak reaches -14 dB in a periodic structure of 28 cycles. The above two different kinds of bonding agents The following experiments can be used to obtain the following two conclusions: 1. A filter with a high-temperature curing cement, heating to gradually reduce the filtering efficiency, so it has a filtering effect at room temperature, but the high-temperature waveform is flat, as shown in Figure 6; 2. The filter with room temperature curing bonding agent, the temperature drop makes the filtering efficiency increase, so it has a flat waveform at room temperature, and the low temperature has a filtering effect, as shown in Figure 7; therefore, the temperature can be adjusted by The above is the expected control. There are two aspects to adjust the filtering effect, that is, changing the coating method of the bonding agent on the periodic structure and using different kinds of connections. Therefore, in the two aspects of the interaction application, a plurality of feasible group 1261123 modes can be developed to meet various situations. As shown in FIG. 8, the bonding agent, the periodic structure and the optical fiber of the present invention are three. Schematic diagram of the joint pattern. In the figure, the left diagram shows that the coating height of the bonding agent 200 is just above the lower side of the optical fiber 300, that is, the same as the periodic structure 150; the middle drawing is the coating height of the bonding agent 200. Just 1/2 of the fiber 300; the right figure shows that the coating of the bonding agent 200 is flooded through the fiber 300. The periodic bending of the fiber can be changed due to the thickness of the bonding agent and the size of the bonding area of the fiber. A suitable thickness (approximately 1/2 fiber height) provides optimum bending efficiency. · As shown in FIG. 9 , it is a schematic diagram of the displacement of the bonding agent, the periodic structure and the optical fiber of the present invention. In the figure, the periodic structure filled with the bonding agent can be optimized in design, so that each periodic bending of the optical fiber is consistent with the shrinking path of the bonding agent, so that the stress between the bonding agent and the optical fiber interface is achieved. The smallest. As shown in FIG. 10, it is a schematic diagram of the combined external force control substrate of the present invention. In the figure, a plurality of external forces, arrows Fb F2, ΤΙ, T2, T3, and T4, are applied to the substrate 100 to perform a change in the filtering effect. Therefore, in addition to the temperature control, the present invention can also be assisted by external force. Referring to FIG. 11, a method for fabricating an adjustable long-period optical fiber grating structure according to the present invention comprises the steps of: - (1) preparing a substrate having a periodic structure such as a metal, a semiconductor, or a glass. Made of material, ceramic material, composite material or plastic material, the substrate has a first coefficient of thermal expansion; (2) preparing a bonding agent, such as a high temperature curing or room temperature curing bonding agent, the bonding 12 1261123 agent has a second Thermal expansion coefficient; (3) 2 bonding agent filled in the periodic structure, such as a general periodic structure or a gradual, periodical structure, can be mechanical processing, semiconductor processing, metal or plastic injection molding, compression molding and die making (4) Distribute an entire uncoated single-mode fiber to the periodic structure; (5) Fasten the fiber to the periodic structure with a bonding agent; (6) End. Wherein the second coefficient of thermal expansion is different from the first coefficient of thermal expansion. Under the temperature change, the two materials, that is, the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate and the bonding agent are inconsistent, causing the fiber to exhibit a slight bending phenomenon to form a grating-like effect, = variable temperature And the design structure can change the waveform of its penetration spectrum, such as / Zhu Du, resonance wavelength. As mentioned above, the 'periodic structure is divided into a one-stage structure. Therefore, please refer to the figure of the tenth-period-like periodic structure. The second embodiment is a schematic diagram of the sub-connection example. Among them, the general shape and the analogy are as follows.
