Abstract
Description
また、石英をベースとしたYb添加シングルモードファイバでは915nm近傍と975nm近傍のピークの間に吸収の谷ができ、その吸収量は915nmの値の半分以下まで低下している。そのため、励起光として半導体レーザーを用いた場合に、波長のシフトによって励起光の吸収効率が変わり出力の変動が起こりやすいという問題があった。
本発明はこのような問題を解決できる光増幅ガラス、光導波路および光ファイバの提供を目的とする。
また、下記酸化物基準のモル%表示で、Bi2O3を30~55%、SiO2およびB2O3の少なくともいずれか一方を、もしくは両方を合計で25~50%、Al2O3およびGa2O3の少なくともいずれか一方を、もしくは両方を合計で12~27%、La2O3を0~4%、Yb2O3を0.1~4%含有し、Er2O3およびTm2O3を実質的に含有しない光増幅ガラス。(以下、第2の光増幅ガラスということがある。)を提供する。なお、当該光増幅ガラスは典型的には1.0~1.2μmの波長の光の増幅に用いられる。
また、前記光増幅ガラスをコアとする光導波路を提供する。
また、前記光増幅ガラスをコアとする光ファイバを提供する。
本発明の光ファイバにおけるコア径、クラッド径はそれぞれ典型的には2~10μm、100~400μmである。また、本発明の光ファイバを高出力用光ファイバに用いる場合にはコア径は10~25μmが好ましい。
この増幅は、増幅されるべき光(信号光)とともに励起光をコアに入射することによって行われ、前記励起光としては通常、波長が900~1000nmの光が使用される。
本発明のガラスの波長940nmにおける吸収係数A(940)は1dB/cm以上であることが好ましい。1dB/cm未満ではA(p)が4dB/cm未満になりやすい。
本発明のガラスにおいては、Yb3+の2F5/2準位から2F7/2準位への誘導放出を利用して光増幅が行われ、Yb2O3は必須である。Yb2O3が0.1%未満では、十分な増幅が得られない。好ましくは、0.15%以上、より好ましくは0.3%以上、特に好ましくは0.5%以上である。また、4%超ではガラス化が困難になる。好ましくは3%以下、より好ましくは2%以下である。
溶解性をよくしたいなどの場合、SiO2が25%以上かつB2O3が0~10%であることが好ましい。
なお、発光強度を大きくしたい場合、Ga2O3を含有することが好ましい。
Bi2O3は35~50%、SiO2は0~45%、B2O3は0~35%、Al2O3は0~12%、Ga2O3は5~25%であることが好ましい。
また、ファイバ加工時の失透を抑制するため、またはガラス化を容易にするために、Li2O、Na2O、K2O、MgO、CaO、SrO、BaO、ZrO2、ZnO、CdO、GeO2、TiO2、In2O3、PbO、TeO2等を含有してもよい。
また、Tm2O3には、Yb3+の基底準位(2F5/2)と上準位(2F7/2)の間にTm3+のエネルギー準位(3H5)が存在しエネルギーがTm3+に奪われ効率が低下するおそれがあるので、第1の光増幅ガラスにおいてはTm2O3を含有しないことが好ましく、第2の光増幅ガラスにおいてはTm2O3を実質的に含有せず、Tm2O3の含有量は典型的には0.02%以下、好ましくは0.01%未満である。
また、例1~7のガラスはYbの含有量を除いた組成の割合は同じで、Ybの含有量が変わっている。Ybの含有量が増加すると、単調に発光強度Eおよび吸収係数が増大していることがわかる。
また、例1~20の実施例は発光強度Eが強いが、Erを含有している比較例の21、22では発光強度Eが著しく低下していることがわかる。
また、図1に例8の吸収スペクトルを示す。縦軸は吸収係数(単位:dB/cm)、横軸は波長(単位:nm)である。波長915~965nmにおいてなだらかな吸収スペクトルを示すことがわかる。
また、例1~20において前記A’が1.5以下であることから、励起光の波長をこのフラットな波長帯域915~940nmとすることにより出力変動を抑えることが可能になる。
なお、2008年11月6日に出願された日本特許出願2008-285527号の明細書、特許請求の範囲、図面および要約書の全内容をここに引用し、本発明の明細書の開示として取り入れるものである。
