Benefits of technology

Inventions have been developed for making fibers made from certain materials called Tellurites Glass Matrix or Thucylene Sulfide Acid Mixture Binder. These new types are more efficient at producing light when compared to traditional methods like SiO2/BaSO3 and Ge023. They produce stronger signals over longer distances without losing their effectiveness due to lower temperatures during processing. Additionally they provide better control on crystal growth processes such as chemical vapor deposition techniques used for creation of thin films. Overall these technical improvements make them useful for various applications where strong electromagnetic radiation needs to be generated.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discusses different types of crystal structures that have unique advantages when compared to traditional methods like ion exchange techniques. Telluria glass exhibits excellent performance at specific wavelength ranges while being less stable and more easily prepared through various processes. It's highly desirable to find new ways to improve this property without compromising on their overall effectiveness over existing technologies.

Abstract

The invention relates to thulium-doped tellurate glass doubly-clad optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Thulium-doped tellurate glass used as a fiber core comprises the following ingredients in mole percentage: 40 to 90 mol% of TeO2, 5 to 40 mol% of WO3, 0 to 5 mol% of Nb2O5, 0 to 5 mol% of BaO, 0 to 14.9 mol% of La2O3, 0 to 20 mol% of GeO2, 0 to 5 mol% of R2O (R is Li, Na, K), 0 to 5 mol% of P2O5 and 0.1 to 5 mol% of Tm2O3. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing the fiber core, inner cladding glass and outer cladding glass by utilizing a fusion method, preparing an optical fiber prefabricated rod by adopting a rod-in-tube technique, and drawing twice by adopting an appropriate wiredrawing process to obtain the doubly-clad tellurate glass optical fiber, wherein the loss at 1.3mu m is less than 2.9dB/m. The doubly-clad tellurate glass optical fiber has favorable anti-devitrification stability, higher glass-transition temperature and softening temperature and lower thermal expansion coefficient compared with common tellurate glass and accords with the single mold transmission condition. Proved by experiments, the optical fiber can realize output of 2nm-class laser under the pumping of an 800nm commercial laser diode, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a laser spectrum reaches 15nm.
