Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for fluorine-containing low-refractivity Yb<3+>-doped quartz glass. The method comprises the steps: starting from a solution, preparing evenly doped silicon oxide powder by using a sol-gel method; and carrying out decarbonization and dehydroxylation treatment on the powder, and finally sintering into glass. By applying the method, F<-> can be effectively introduced, and the rare earth-doped quartz glass with high uniformity, low hydroxyl content and the refractivity almost identical to that of the pure quartz glass can be obtained. The method can be applied to preparation of a high-brightness large-mode-field quartz optical fiber mandril.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to rare earth doped quartz glass, especially a kind of fluorine-containing low refractive index Yb 3+ Preparation method of doped quartz glass. Background technique [0002] Rare earth doped quartz glass and optical fiber have been used in optical fiber communication, industrial processing and laser medical treatment and other fields. In order to meet the needs of industrial processing applications, it is necessary to increase the output power of lasers. Large-mode-field fibers have attracted extensive attention because they can solve the nonlinear effects and laser damage faced by high-power fiber lasers. Many research institutions at home and abroad, such as the Jena Institute of Photonics Technology in Germany in conjunction with Heraeus and the Danish Photonic Crystal Fiber Company, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, etc. are committed to the research of ytterbium-doped large-mode-field fib...
