Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a PbSe quantum dot doped fiber material. The fiber material is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 45 to 75 percent of SiO2, 3 to 10 percent of B2O3, 3 to 10 percent of Al2O3, 5 to 20 percent of ZnO, 1 to 7 percent of AlF3, 10 to 25 percent of Na2O, 0.5 to 5 percent of PbO, 0.5 to 5 percent of Se, and 0.5 to 2 percent of C. The PbSe quantum dot doped fiber material is prepared by the following steps of: weighing the raw materials in mass percentage, putting the raw materials into a ball mill, fully mixing the raw materials uniformly, putting the mixture into a closed crucible, melting the mixture for 30 minutes to 2 hours at the high temperature of between 1,100 and 1,450 DEG C, then quickly cooling the melt to obtain light brown grass, and finally performing a thermal treatment process to obtain the brown black PbSe quantum dot doped fiber material. The PbSe quantum dot doped fiber material prepared by the method has the characteristics of simple process, low price, controllable quantum dot size and the like.

Description

(1) Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of optical communication technology and nano material preparation, in particular to a preparation method of PbSe quantum dot doped optical fiber material. The PbSe quantum dot doped optical fiber material prepared by the invention can be applied to optical fiber amplifiers. (2) Background technology

[0002] Quantum dots are quasi-zero-dimensional semiconductor nanocrystals whose radius is smaller than or close to the exciton Bohr radius. Due to the quantum strong confinement effect caused by their extremely small size, quantum dots exhibit many unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties, which have attracted great attention. Among them, IV-VI semiconductor quantum dots, such as PbSe and PbS, have a large exciton Bohr radius (PbSe is 46nm, PbS is 18nm), which leads to a strong quantum confinement effect and shows a strong fluorescence emission spectrum. . Quantum dots with different fluorescence emissi...
