Problems solved by technology

Although the hollow-core Bragg fiber has wide spectrum and wide angular bandgap characteristics, it is easier to realize broadband transmission of light waves, but the transmission bandwidth of the existing conventional Bragg fiber is still relatively limited
Although there are currently some hollow-core Bragg fiber designs that can expand the transmission bandwidth, these fibers have complex structures, are difficult to manufacture, or have discontinuous low-loss transmission windows, or have large mode transmission losses, which are not conducive to long-distance low-loss transmission.

Embodiment 1

[0027] Compared with the previous cladding based on the binary structure period, the hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber multi-layer dielectric structure cladding layer 5 used in the present invention for 3-5 micron band light wave broadband low-loss transmission is based on the ternary structure period 6, When taking the same optical fiber structure parameters, it has higher reflectivity to the incident light wave in the hollow fiber core, so lower leakage loss can be obtained.

[0028] Such as Figure 4 Shown is a conventional multi-layer dielectric structure cladding 5 (that is, only a single dielectric layer group, ) based on the fundamental mode in the hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber based on the binary structure period and the ternary structure period respectively ( mode) leakage loss curve. The leakage loss is calculated by the ray optics method, and the period value and number in the cladding layer 5 of the multilayer dielectric structure are respectively nm an...

Embodiment 2

[0030] Take the multi-layer dielectric structure cladding 5 to be made up of two dielectric layer groups, namely , each dielectric layer group contains 15 ternary structure periods, namely , the period value in the media layer group inside the two media layer groups is nm, the period value in the outer dielectric layer group is nm.

[0031] In order to illustrate that the optical fiber structure design proposed by the present invention can effectively expand the photonic bandgap bandwidth, as Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment focuses on the change of the omnidirectional reflection photonic band gap.

[0032] The reflection spectrum of the cladding of the above structure to the incident TM wave at different angles can be calculated by using the transfer matrix method, as shown in Figure 5 (a) shown. As a comparison, Figure 5 (b) Correspondingly, the conventional multi-layer dielectric structure cladding with the period number of 30 is given (ie , nm) Reflectio...

Embodiment 3

[0034] Although in the prior art, the photonic bandgap expansion can also be realized by adopting the binary structure period of each dielectric layer group, but due to Figure 4 For the reasons shown, its leakage loss is greater than that of the hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber based on the periodic cladding of the ternary structure according to the present invention. Such as Figure 6 Shown is the same media layer group number ( ), the number of cycles ( ) and size ( nm, nm), and the hollow core radius ( μm), the fundamental mode in the large-diameter hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber based on the binary structure period and the ternary structure period ( mode) leakage loss curve. Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that although the omnidirectional reflection bandgaps of the two structural fibers are almost the same (as shown by the line segment AB), the leakage loss of the former is significantly greater than that of the latter within the scope of the omnid...

Abstract

The invention relates to a hollow core photonic band gap optical fiber for 3-5-micrometer wave band optical wave broadband low-loss transmission. The cross section of the optical fiber is circular. The optical fiber sequentially comprises a hollow fiber core, multilayer medium structure cladding and a protective layer from the inside and the outside along the radius. The multilayer medium structure cladding is composed of medium layer sets with different periods. The medium layer sets are composed of ternary-structure units, and each ternary-structure unit is a ternary-structure period. By the adoption of the design of the hollow core photonic band gap optical fiber, photonic band gap width is expanded, and the transmission loss can be effectively reduced.
