preparation example Construction

[0045] The preparation method of the near-single-mode quasi-graded-index large-mode-field-gain optical fiber provided by the present invention is: the method comprises the following steps:

[0046] 1) Preparation of rare earth doped fiber core rod:

[0047] 1.1) Using chemical vapor deposition MCVD and solution doping or rare earth chelate vapor deposition, the rare earth compound is evenly mixed into the deposition layer in the quartz tube to form a large mode field quartz optical fiber core layer;

[0048]1.2) The large-mode-field silica fiber core layer obtained in step 1.1) is drawn into several small core rods with uniform diameters by a pre-stretching process, and the small core rods are integrated to form a small core rod group to form a rare earth-doped optical fiber Mandrel;

[0049] 2) Make a non-uniform Bragg cladding casing:

[0050] 2.1) Using chemical vapor deposition MCVD, changing the chemical composition of adjacent deposition layers to form alternating clad...
