光子晶体光纤拉制中工艺参数的控制

分析了光子晶体光纤拉制中各工艺参数之间的相互影响,建立了工艺参数与最终光纤结构之间的对应关系.在温度和送料速度的协调控制下,通过调节气压参数可有效控制气孔结构.实验拉制出孔径孔距比分别为0.45和0.8的单模以及高占空比光子晶体光纤.在制备非均匀孔径光子晶体光纤时,仅靠调控工艺参数往往难以拉制出理想结构,本文以一种单偏振单模PCF结构为例,对预制棒结构进行了优化设计.计算表明可由此拉制出满足要求的光子晶体光纤. 关键词： 光子晶体光纤 工艺参数 气压控制 气孔结构     

光子晶体光纤的低损耗电弧熔接方案

提出了一种利用传统电弧熔接机实现光子晶体光纤(PCF)与单模光纤(SMF)低损耗熔接的新方案.方案结合实验测量与理论计算,首先通过改变熔接时间、熔接电流等参量,考察了不同熔接功率对PCF端面气孔结构的影响.由此计算了PCF端面模场分布的相应变化,并根据两光纤端面模场的重叠积分计算了相应的熔接损耗,从而确定出对应低熔接损耗的熔接功率区间.综合考虑熔接强度等要求,反向选取了合理的熔接参量范围,实现了PCF-SMF之间低损耗、高强度的熔接.提出的熔接方案使熔接过程中PCF包层气孔的收缩变化、该变化对两光纤接合匹配度的影响等问题清晰化,克服了以往PCF-SMF熔接中难以设定合理熔接参量的问题,有效地提高了熔接效率和熔接质量.     

A novel method of rapidly modeling optical properties of actual photonic crystal fibres

<正>The flexible structure of photonic crystal fibre not only offers novel optical properties but also brings some difficulties in keeping the fibre structure in the fabrication process which inevitably cause the optical properties of the resulting fibre to deviate from the designed properties.Therefore,a method of evaluating the optical properties of the actual fibre is necessary for the purpose of application.Up to now,the methods employed to measure the properties of the actual photonic crystal fibre often require long fibre samples or complex expensive equipments.To our knowledge, there are few studies of modeling an actual photonic crystal fibre and evaluating its properties rapidly.In this paper,a novel method,based on the combination model of digital image processing and the finite element method,is proposed to rapidly model the optical properties of the actual photonic crystal fibre.Two kinds of photonic crystal fibres made by Crystal Fiber A/S are modeled.It is confirmed from numerical results that the proposed method is simple,rapid and accurate for evaluating the optical properties of the actual photonic crystal fibre without requiring complex equipment.     

A simple model for approximate bandgap structure calculation of all-solid photonic bandgap fibre based on an array of rings

A simple model for approximate bandgap structure calculation of all-solid photonic bandgap fibre based on an array of rings is proposed. In this model calculated are only the potential modes of a unit cell, which is a high-index ring in the low-index background for this fibre, rather than the whole cladding periodic structure based on Bloch＇s theorem to find the bandgap. Its accuracy is proved by comparing its results with the results obtained by using the accurate full-vector plane-wave method. High speed in computation is its great advantage over the other exact methods, because it only needs to find the roots of one-dimensional analytical expressions. And the results of this model, mode plots, offer an ideal environment to explore the basic properties of photonie bandgap clearly.     

Design of broadband nearly-zero flattened dispersion highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber

We propose a new structure of broadband nearly-zero flattened dispersion highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber （PCF）. Through optimizing the diameters of the first two inner rings of air-holes and the GeO2 doping concentration of the core, the nonlinear coefficient is up to 47 W^-1.km^-1 at the wavelength of 1.55 um and nearly-zero flattened dispersion of ±0.5 ps/（nm·km） is achieved in the telecommunication window （1460 - 1625 nm）. Due to the use of GeO2-doped core, this innovative structure can offer not only a large nonlinear coefficient and broadband nearly-zero flattened dispersion but also low leakage losses.

根据流体力学的相关理论建立了毛细管拉制过程的简化模型.首先通过理论计算,分析了毛细管制作中的各种工艺参量,如控制参量、设备参量、预制棒结构参量等,对最终毛细管结构的影响.在本文讨论的工艺下,毛细管结构的相对缩塌不可避免,而工艺参量的调整仅可以在一定程度上改善结构的变化.最后通过具体的拉制实验与理论计算进行了比较分析,二者取得了很好的一致性,验证了计算模型的可靠性.相关结论可推广到光子晶体光纤的制作中,有很好的工艺参考价值. 关键词： 光子晶体光纤 毛细管 制作理论 工艺参量
