The invention discloses an
apodization FBG (
fiber bragg
grating) inscribing
system and method, and the
system comprises an optical platform, an
excimer laser, a reflector group, a diaphragm, a beam-expanding
cylindrical lens group, an
apodization device, a focusing
cylindrical lens, a
phase mask template, and an
optical fiber clamping device. The
apodization device is located between the beam-expanding
cylindrical lens group and the focusing cylindrical lens, and also comprises an amplitude
mask template with a positive template and a negative template, and a lifting drive
assembly disposed on the optical platform, wherein the amplitude
mask template is disposed at the lifting end of the lifting drive
assembly. The
optical fiber clamping device comprises two
optical fiber clamping tools and two rotating devices which are disposed on the optical platform and drives the two optical
fiber clamping tools to rotate around an optical
fiber axis synchronously. The method comprises the steps: setting the parameters of the
excimer laser, preparing the optical fibers, and inscribing the apodization FBG. The
system can be used for preparing different types of apodization FBGs, can eliminate the light-sensing
refractive index modulation
asymmetry caused by the
large core diameter for the inscribing of the large-core-
diameter apodization FBGs, and can prepare high-performance large-core-
diameter apodization FBGs.
