Problems solved by technology

The main idea is to use the difference in the effective refractive index of the two polarization modes of the fiber, so that one of the polarization modes cannot be transmitted in the fiber because the effective refractive index is smaller than the effective refractive index of the cladding (J.Lightwave Technol.vol.24 , 825-830, 2006)

Abstract

A polarization preserving fiber of microstructure mode is prepared for forming fiber core by media material 1 and hole 2 being cyclically arranged, obtaining refractivity relation of n1 >n3 >n2 for media material 3 when cladded layer is only prepared by media material 3 and obtaining refractivity relation of n3 >n4 and n1>n3 >n2 for media material 3 and hole 4 being cyclically arranged when cladded layer is prepared by media material 3 and hole 4 being cyclically arranged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a microstructure polarization maintaining optical fiber, the international patent classification number is intended to be Int.Cl 7 .C03B 37 / 00. Background technique [0002] Polarization-maintaining fiber is an important class of fiber, which has important applications in many fields such as optical communication, optical signal detection and processing. It was mainly used for fiber optic sensing at first, and with the development of fiber optic communication technology, it has also been widely used in fiber amplifiers, fiber lasers, wavelength division multiplexing and polarization mode dispersion compensation. Polarization-maintaining fibers also play an important role in high-bit-rate optical communication systems because high-birefringence fibers can eliminate the effects of polarization mode dispersion. [0003] In recent years, it has been proposed to use photon...
