Abstract

The present invention relates to a micro-structured optical fiber for a polarization apparatus, which aims to solve the problems of the existing polarization apparatus that the manufacturing process is complex, mass production cannot be realized, the size is large, and the like. The micro-structured optical fiber of the polarization apparatus is manufactured via the following steps: arranging solid quartz rods in a triangular lattice in a special area of a prefabricated rod during pretreatment prior to drawing of the micro-structured optical fiber, arranging hollow quartz rods in triangular lattices in other areas, and forming an eight-layer hexagonal quartz rod array; and drawing the prefabricated rod into an optical fiber with the diameter being 125mum. The specific area refers to the area of three central lines vertically above an air fiber core, excepting the innermost layer. The micro-structured optical fiber is easy to manufacture; the polarization apparatus based on the micro-structured optical fiber is also easy to manufacture, and mass production of the polarization apparatus can be realized; and the polarization apparatus based on the micro-structured optical fiber has a high extinction ratio, stable performance and a small size, and can be widely applied in optical fiber communication and optical fiber sensing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber polarization, and relates to a microstructure optical fiber used for a polarization device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of optical fiber communication and optical fiber sensing technology, the polarization state of light is becoming more and more important to the system and components. As an important branch of polarization devices, optical fiber polarization devices play a unique role. Fiber optic polarizers are favored due to their small size, light weight, low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, and strong compatibility with fiber optic systems. Optical fiber polarizers are widely used in passive devices such as optical isolators, optical circulators, optical switches, and optical modulators; in optical device test systems, fiber polarizers can be used in conjunction with other devices to obtain stable and flexible test conditions. Realize multi-parameter...
