Description

一种光纤光栅制备方法、监测装置及监测方法 Fiber grating preparation method, monitoring device and monitoring method 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及光纤光栅制作技术领域,尤其涉及一种光纤光栅制备方法、监测装置及监测方法。 The invention relates to the technical field of fiber grating manufacturing, in particular to a fiber grating preparation method, a monitoring device and a monitoring method.
背景技术Background technique
光子晶体光纤(Photonic Crystal Fiber,PCF) 是由石英棒或石英毛细管排列而成,光子晶体光纤的横截面具有周期性微孔结构的特点,因此光子晶体光纤又被称为多孔光纤或微结构光纤。与常规光纤相比,PCF具有无截止单模、高非线性、大模场面积、可控色散性等优点,因此,PCF不仅可作为比常规光纤更优质的光传输介质,还可以用来制作各种新型的光子器件;长周期光纤光栅(LPFG)具有对外界环境敏感的特点,可在通信、传感、激光器以及生物医学等领域广泛应用。因此在光子晶体光纤中制备长周期光纤光栅,可将光子晶体光纤的特性与长周期光纤光栅的特性相结合,从而大大提升PCF的性能,同时解决了原始的LPFG所存在的参数串扰、截止单模等问题,能有效提高光栅的写制质量。Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) The photonic crystal fiber is characterized by a periodic microporous structure, and the photonic crystal fiber is also called a porous fiber or a microstructured fiber. Compared with conventional optical fiber, PCF has the advantages of no cut-off single mode, high nonlinearity, large mode area, and controllable dispersion. Therefore, PCF can be used not only as a better optical transmission medium than conventional optical fibers, but also for making A variety of new photonic devices; long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) are sensitive to the external environment and can be widely used in communications, sensing, laser, and biomedical applications. Therefore, the preparation of a long-period fiber grating in a photonic crystal fiber combines the characteristics of the photonic crystal fiber with the characteristics of the long-period fiber grating, thereby greatly improving the performance of the PCF, and simultaneously solving the parameter crosstalk and the cut-off list of the original LPFG. Problems such as mode can effectively improve the quality of raster writing.
目前,在PCF上制备LPFG的方法有多种,市场上主要采用成本低廉的CO2激光照射法。利用CO2激光照射法在PCF中形成LPFG的机制原理是利用残余应力释放及物理形变,基于残余应力释放的方式是将CO2激光作为热激元,使PCF包层空气孔受热塌陷,破坏其周期结构而得到LPFG。但是,由于空气孔的坍塌会导致入射光的插入损耗增加,且若通过CO2热源周期的拉锥或塌陷产生物理变形制备,虽然能产生较大的折射率调制,但是气孔塌陷或拉锥熔融变形后的光纤机械强度变弱,很容易断,因此,采用CO2激光照射法制备的光纤光栅机械强度很低。At present, there are various methods for preparing LPFG on PCF, and the market mainly uses a low-cost CO2 laser irradiation method. The mechanism of forming LPFG in PCF by CO2 laser irradiation method is to use residual stress release and physical deformation. Based on the residual stress release method, the CO2 laser is used as the heat shock element, so that the PCF cladding air hole is thermally collapsed and the periodic structure is destroyed. And get LPFG. However, due to the collapse of the air hole, the insertion loss of the incident light is increased, and if the physical deformation is produced by the taper or collapse of the CO2 heat source cycle, although a large refractive index modulation can be generated, the pore collapse or the taper melt deformation After the mechanical strength of the fiber is weakened, it is easy to break. Therefore, the fiber grating prepared by the CO2 laser irradiation method has low mechanical strength.

综上所述,本发明第一实施例所提供的方法将具有高热膨胀系数的液体填入带孔光纤的预选空气孔中;对已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热,以使已填入所述液体的空气孔因所述液体受热膨胀而膨胀,以对未填充所述液体的空气孔产生挤压,得到具有自膨胀结构的光纤光栅。采用该方法或装置制作光纤光栅,高膨胀系数液体填充在光纤内部,因此该结构具有很好的一体化特征,膨胀由内自然受热膨胀,无需借助其余辅助装置,因此方法简单;且制作的光纤光栅机械强度高,膨胀位置可控,适用性强,不易损坏;且该光纤光栅制备方法,填充的具有高热膨胀系数的液体、预选空气孔、加热温度、加热次数、加热方法、加热装置、加热位置均可调节,可灵活改变光纤内部空气孔的膨胀大小、形状和分布,因此,灵活性更高;且该方法制备光纤光栅成本低廉、可重复性好、大大提高了光纤光栅的制备效率。In summary, the method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention fills a liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion into a preselected air hole of the apertured optical fiber; and heats a predetermined area of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid. So that the air hole that has been filled with the liquid expands due to thermal expansion of the liquid to squeeze the air hole that is not filled with the liquid, thereby obtaining a fiber grating having a self-expanding structure. The fiber grating is fabricated by the method or the device, and the high expansion coefficient liquid is filled inside the optical fiber, so the structure has a good integration feature, the expansion is naturally heated by the internal expansion, and the method is simple, and the method is simple; The grating has high mechanical strength, controllable expansion position, strong applicability and is not easy to be damaged; and the fiber grating preparation method, filled liquid with high thermal expansion coefficient, preselected air hole, heating temperature, heating times, heating method, heating device, heating The position can be adjusted, and the expansion size, shape and distribution of the air hole inside the fiber can be flexibly changed, so that the flexibility is higher; and the method for preparing the fiber grating is low in cost, good in repeatability, and greatly improves the preparation efficiency of the fiber grating.
作为本发明的第二实施例,如图1和图2所示,本发明提供了一种光纤光栅制备方法,所述方法包括以下步骤:As a second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a method of fabricating a fiber grating, the method comprising the following steps:
步骤S101:将具有高热膨胀系数的液体填入带孔光纤的预选空气孔中;其中,当将具有高热膨胀系数的液体均匀填满带孔光纤的预选空气孔中时,可达到该光纤光栅制备的最优效果。Step S101: filling a liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion into a preselected air hole of the apertured optical fiber; wherein the fiber grating preparation can be achieved when a liquid having a high thermal expansion coefficient is uniformly filled in the preselected air hole of the apertured optical fiber The best effect.
步骤S102:对已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热,以使已填入所述液体的空气孔因所述液体受热膨胀而膨胀,以对未填充所述液体的空气孔产生挤压,得到具有自膨胀结构的光纤光栅。其中,被加热的预设区域的带孔光纤的包层首先会因为受热而软化。Step S102: heating a predetermined area of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid, so that the air hole filled with the liquid expands due to thermal expansion of the liquid to the air that is not filled with the liquid. The holes are extruded to obtain a fiber grating having a self-expanding structure. Wherein, the cladding of the apertured fiber of the heated predetermined region is first softened by heat.
步骤S102中,所述对已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热的步骤包括:In step S102, the step of heating the preset area of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid includes:
步骤S102-1:在所述已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的轴向方向上,按照预设光栅栅距划分为N个子带孔光纤,其中N为正整数;Step S102-1: dividing into N sub-band aperture fibers according to a preset grating pitch in an axial direction of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid, where N is a positive integer;
步骤S102-2:依次对每个所述子带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热。Step S102-2: heating a preset area of each of the sub-perforated fibers in sequence.
其中,步骤S102-1和S102-2的目的是为了得到具有自膨胀结构的长周期光纤光栅。对一定长度的带孔光纤预先设定一个预设光栅栅距,每次加热时,只对一个预设光栅栅距长度的子带孔光纤进行加热,依次对每个所述子带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热,最终得到具有自膨胀结构的长周期光纤光栅。Among them, the purpose of steps S102-1 and S102-2 is to obtain a long-period fiber grating having a self-expanding structure. Presetting a preset grating pitch for a certain length of the apertured fiber, and heating only the sub-band aperture fiber of a predetermined grating pitch length for each heating, sequentially for each of the sub-band aperture fibers The predetermined area is heated to finally obtain a long-period fiber grating having a self-expanding structure.
需要说明的是,对所述待监测的带孔光纤进行加热时,所述被加热的预设区域应小于预设光栅栅距。It should be noted that, when the optical fiber to be monitored is heated, the heated preset area should be smaller than the preset grating pitch.
进一步地,所述依次对每个所述子带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热包括:依次对所述子带孔光纤的预设区域重复加热M次,其中,M为正整数。Further, the sequentially heating the preset area of each of the sub-perforated optical fibers comprises: sequentially heating the preset area of the sub-belted optical fiber M times, wherein M is a positive integer.
进一步地,所述对已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热的过程中,基于对所述光纤光栅制备过程进行监测得到的光谱信号对加热温度进行调节。Further, in the process of heating the predetermined region of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid, the heating temperature is adjusted based on a spectral signal obtained by monitoring the fiber grating preparation process.
上述加热过程中,通过实时调节加热温度以及加热次数等参数来改变带孔光纤的膨胀程度。由于膨胀程度不同,该带孔光纤内部的结构就不同,从而使得该带孔光纤内部的折射率不同,进一步使得该带孔光纤的光谱信号就不同,因此,通过监测该带孔光纤的光谱信号,来调节加热温度以及加热次数等参数,最终直至得到满意的光纤光栅。In the above heating process, the degree of expansion of the apertured fiber is changed by adjusting parameters such as heating temperature and number of heating in real time. Due to the different degrees of expansion, the structure inside the apertured fiber is different, so that the refractive index inside the apertured fiber is different, and the spectral signal of the apertured fiber is further different. Therefore, by monitoring the spectral signal of the apertured fiber. , to adjust the heating temperature and the number of heating parameters, and finally until a satisfactory fiber grating is obtained.
需要说明的是,在上述光纤光栅的制备方法中,可以采用CO2激光作为加热装置对带孔光纤进行加热,也可以采用电弧放电、或氢氧焰等加热装置或加热方法对带孔光纤进行加热。且,加热时的预设区域可以是该带孔光纤的单侧局部加热,即单侧加热,也可以是对称加热、或旋转加热等。总之,不同的加热装置或不同的加热方式可制备具有不同自膨胀结构的光纤光栅。It should be noted that, in the method for preparing the fiber grating, the CO2 laser may be used as a heating device to heat the apertured optical fiber, or the optical fiber may be heated by a heating device such as an arc discharge or an oxyhydrogen flame or a heating method. . Moreover, the predetermined area during heating may be one-side local heating of the apertured optical fiber, that is, one-side heating, or symmetric heating, or rotational heating. In summary, different heating devices or different heating methods can produce fiber gratings with different self-expanding structures.
进一步地,所述预选空气孔为所述带孔光纤任意一个或多个空气孔。预选空气孔可以为带孔光纤的全部空气孔、或为带孔光纤纤芯周围的内圈空气孔等。在本发明实施例中,建议对内圈空气孔进行填充,因为对内圈空气孔进行填充而制备的光纤光栅效果最优。如图3所示,本实施例的预选空气孔为光子晶体光纤的内圈空气孔。由于光子晶体光纤的包层由纤芯向外是由多圈对称的六边形空气孔组成,且越靠近纤芯的空气孔,其引起的折射率调制越强,较少的光栅点既可以引起较大的折射率调制,所以最靠近纤芯的内圈空气孔引起的折射率调制效果一般为最优的。因此,选择内圈空气孔作为制备光纤光栅的预选空气孔,可以进一步提升光纤光栅的写制效率。由上述可知,当对其他类型的带孔光纤的空气孔进行选择时,可以任意选择比较靠近纤芯的空气孔,从而使制备的光纤光栅效果更好。当对带孔光纤的任意一个或多个空气孔进行填充时,也在本发明的保护范围内。Further, the preselected air holes are any one or more air holes of the apertured fiber. The preselected air holes may be all air holes of the apertured fiber or inner ring air holes around the core of the apertured fiber. In the embodiment of the present invention, it is recommended to fill the inner ring air hole, because the fiber grating prepared by filling the inner ring air hole is optimal. As shown in FIG. 3, the preselected air holes of this embodiment are inner ring air holes of the photonic crystal fiber. Since the cladding of the photonic crystal fiber is composed of a multi-circle symmetrical hexagonal air hole from the core, and the closer to the air hole of the core, the refractive index modulation is stronger, and fewer grating points can be used. This results in a larger refractive index modulation, so the refractive index modulation effect caused by the inner ring air holes closest to the core is generally optimal. Therefore, the inner ring air hole is selected as the preselected air hole for preparing the fiber grating, and the writing efficiency of the fiber grating can be further improved. It can be seen from the above that when the air holes of other types of apertured fibers are selected, the air holes closer to the core can be arbitrarily selected, so that the prepared fiber grating is better. It is also within the scope of the present invention to fill any one or more of the air holes of the apertured fiber.
需要说明的是,具有高热膨胀系数的液体可以有多种选择,例如水、或酒精等。由于每种具有高热膨胀系数的液体的受热膨胀程度不同,带孔光纤的空气孔也因为其所填入的液体的不同,而造成受热膨胀的程度也不相同。It should be noted that a liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion may have various options such as water, or alcohol. Since the degree of thermal expansion of each liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion is different, the air holes of the apertured optical fibers are also different in degree of thermal expansion due to the difference in the liquid they are filled in.
在本实施例中,该方法主要是基于光子晶体光纤进行光纤光栅的制备,但是,该制备方法可以应用于各种类型的带孔光纤,例如:实芯光子晶体光纤(PCF)、空芯光子晶体光纤(PBF)、空芯光纤(HOF)、悬芯光纤(SCF)等等。In this embodiment, the method is mainly based on photonic crystal fiber for fiber grating preparation, but the preparation method can be applied to various types of apertured fibers, such as solid photonic crystal fiber (PCF), hollow core photon. Crystal Fiber (PBF), Hollow Fiber (HOF), Suspended Fiber (SCF), etc.
在步骤S101中,将具有高热膨胀系数的液体填入带孔光纤的预选空气孔中时,可以采用多种方式对带孔光纤的空气孔进行选择性填充。在本实施例中提供了以下三种填充方法:In step S101, when a liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion is filled into a preselected air hole of the apertured fiber, the air holes of the apertured fiber can be selectively filled in a variety of ways. The following three filling methods are provided in this embodiment:
(1)全填充法:直接将具有高热膨胀系数的液体填入带孔光纤的全部空气孔中。主要可通过虹吸现象或采用液体高压泵入等方式进行填充。(1) Full filling method: A liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion is directly filled into all the air holes of the apertured optical fiber. It can be filled mainly by siphoning or by high-pressure pumping of liquid.
(2)内圈孔填充法:采用一定内径的玻璃管,该选用的玻璃管内径大小大于光子晶体光纤的内圈空气孔内径,并小于光子晶体光纤的次内圈空气孔内径,将玻璃管与光子晶体光纤熔接,使得内圈空气孔与外界呈联通状态,而其它空气孔由于玻璃管壁堵住而无法与外界联通,再通过液体虹吸现象或采用液体高压泵入等方式将液体填入光子晶体光纤的内圈空气中,使光子晶体光纤的内圈空气孔填入具有高热膨胀系数的液体。如图3所示,由于光子晶体光纤的包层由纤芯向外是由多圈对称的六边形空气孔组成,且越靠近纤芯的空气孔,其引起的折射率调制越强,较少的光栅点既可以引起较大的折射率调制,所以最靠近纤芯的内圈空气孔引起的折射率调制效果一般为最优的。因此,选择内圈空气孔作为制备光纤光栅的预选空气孔,可以进一步提升光纤光栅的写制效率。(2) Inner ring hole filling method: using a glass tube with a certain inner diameter, the inner diameter of the selected glass tube is larger than the inner diameter of the inner ring air hole of the photonic crystal fiber, and smaller than the inner diameter of the inner inner ring of the photonic crystal fiber, and the glass tube The optical fiber is fused to the photonic crystal fiber, so that the inner ring air hole is in communication with the outside, and the other air holes cannot be connected to the outside due to the blockage of the glass tube wall, and the liquid is filled by liquid siphoning or liquid high pressure pumping. In the inner ring air of the photonic crystal fiber, the inner ring air hole of the photonic crystal fiber is filled with a liquid having a high thermal expansion coefficient. As shown in FIG. 3, since the cladding of the photonic crystal fiber is composed of a plurality of symmetrical hexagonal air holes from the core, and the closer to the air hole of the core, the refractive index modulation is stronger. A small number of grating points can cause a large refractive index modulation, so the refractive index modulation effect caused by the inner ring air holes closest to the core is generally optimal. Therefore, the inner ring air hole is selected as the preselected air hole for preparing the fiber grating, and the writing efficiency of the fiber grating can be further improved.
(3)空气孔选择性填充法:将单模光纤与待填充的光子晶体光纤熔接,并在距离熔接点10-20μm处用切割刀将单模光纤切断,利用飞秒激光对切面进行选择性开孔,使得开孔位置与外界联通,其余位置与外界闭合,再通过液体虹吸现象或采用液体高压泵入等方式将液体填入光子晶体光纤内圈中,使光子晶体光纤的已选空气孔填入具有高热膨胀系数的液体。(3) Air hole selective filling method: the single mode fiber is fused with the photonic crystal fiber to be filled, and the single mode fiber is cut by a cutter at a distance of 10-20 μm from the fusion point, and the cutting surface is selectively selected by a femtosecond laser. Opening the hole so that the opening position is connected to the outside, the remaining position is closed to the outside, and then the liquid is filled into the inner ring of the photonic crystal fiber by liquid siphoning or liquid high-pressure pumping to make the selected air hole of the photonic crystal fiber. Fill in a liquid with a high coefficient of thermal expansion.
在本实施例中,如图4(a)所示,带孔光纤选择的是光子晶体光纤,预选空气孔为光子晶体光纤的内圈孔,所选具有高热膨胀系数的液体为水;如图4(b)所示,将水填入光子晶体光纤的内圈孔,采用了CO2激光作为加热装置对带孔光纤进行加热,其中,CO2激光加热装置的功率最大为10w,功率稳定性为2%左右,激光聚焦光斑为30-50μm,每个光栅栅距被设定为500μm,将光子晶体光纤按照每500μm为单位划分为M个子光子晶体光纤,然后采用CO2激光加热装置依次对每个子光子晶体光纤加热N次;如图4(c)所示,为加热后得到具有自膨胀结构的长周期光纤光栅。经仿真实验得出,光栅栅距一般被设定在300-700μm,光纤光栅的制备效果最优。采用本发明实施例所提供的方法制备的具有自膨胀结构的光纤光栅,该种光纤光栅应用范围广泛,例如:(1)基于该自膨胀结构的光纤光栅制作的滤波器、增益平坦器。其中,通过灵活调节光纤光栅制备过程中的预选空气孔、填充液体、加热次数、加热温度、加热装置等参数,能够获得较低插入损耗,较高消光比的滤波器。(2)基于该自膨胀结构的光纤光栅制作的温度、应变、压力传感器等。(3)基于该自膨胀结构的光纤光栅制作的起偏器、偏振干涉仪等。其中,采用单侧制备方式制备的光纤光栅,有非常大的偏振相关损耗,可作为起偏器,两个具有自膨胀结构的光纤光栅级联可形成偏振干涉仪。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the apertured fiber is selected as a photonic crystal fiber, and the preselected air hole is an inner ring hole of the photonic crystal fiber, and the liquid having a high thermal expansion coefficient is selected as water; As shown in Fig. 4(b), water is filled into the inner ring hole of the photonic crystal fiber, and the CO2 laser is used as a heating device to heat the holed fiber. The power of the CO2 laser heating device is 10w at maximum, and the power stability is 2 About %, the laser focused spot is 30-50μm, each grating pitch is set to 500μm, the photonic crystal fiber is divided into M sub-photonic crystal fibers per 500μm, and then each sub-photon is sequentially used by CO2 laser heating device. The crystal fiber is heated N times; as shown in Fig. 4(c), a long-period fiber grating having a self-expanding structure is obtained after heating. According to the simulation experiment, the grating pitch is generally set at 300-700μm, and the preparation effect of the fiber grating is optimal. A fiber grating having a self-expanding structure prepared by the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a wide range of applications, for example, (1) a filter and a gain flattener fabricated based on the fiber grating of the self-expanding structure. Among them, by adjusting the parameters of the preselected air holes, filling liquid, heating times, heating temperature, heating device and the like in the preparation process of the fiber grating, a filter with lower insertion loss and higher extinction ratio can be obtained. (2) Temperature, strain, pressure sensor, etc., produced by the fiber grating of the self-expanding structure. (3) A polarizer, a polarization interferometer, or the like fabricated based on the fiber grating of the self-expanding structure. Among them, the fiber grating prepared by the one-side preparation method has a very large polarization-dependent loss, and can be used as a polarizer, and two fiber grating cascades having a self-expanding structure can form a polarization interferometer.
综上所述,本发明第二实施例所提供的方法将具有高热膨胀系数的液体填入带孔光纤的预选空气孔中;对已填入所述液体的带孔光纤的预设区域进行加热,以使已填入所述液体的空气孔因所述液体受热膨胀而膨胀,以对未填充所述液体的空气孔产生挤压,得到具有自膨胀结构的光纤光栅。采用该方法或装置制作光纤光栅,高膨胀系数液体填充在光纤内部,因此该结构具有很好的一体化特征,膨胀由内自然受热膨胀,无需借助其余辅助装置,因此方法简单;且制作的光纤光栅机械强度高,膨胀位置可控,适用性强,不易损坏;且该光纤光栅制备方法,填充的具有高热膨胀系数的液体、预选空气孔、加热温度、加热次数、加热方法、加热装置、加热位置均可调节,可灵活改变光纤内部空气孔的膨胀大小、形状和分布,因此,灵活性更高;且该方法制备光纤光栅成本低廉、可重复性好、大大提高了光纤光栅的制备效率。In summary, the method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention fills a liquid having a high coefficient of thermal expansion into a preselected air hole of the apertured optical fiber; and heats a predetermined area of the apertured optical fiber that has been filled with the liquid.
