Abstract

The invention discloses an asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber and a manufacturing method of the asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber. The asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber is formed by drawing an optical fiber perform with a single stress area or dual stress areas in a rotary mode, and therefore the asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber has a single spiral stress area or dual spiral stress areas; in addition, due to asymmetric distribution of the stress areas or different materials of the stress areas, spirally-distributed asymmetric stress birefringence is generated in a fiber core of the asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber, a radial phase difference of transmission light waves is accordingly formed, the light waves transmitted in the asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber can accordingly obtain the orbital annular momentum, vortex phase transmission is generated, and a similar vortex light transmission mode is achieved. The asymmetric birefringence vortex fiber overall has the advantages of being tiny in structure, flexible in operation, stable in system, high in interference resistant capacity and the like, and can be used for vortex beam generation, particle control, sensing application and the like.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber and a preparation technology thereof, in particular to an asymmetric birefringent vortex optical fiber and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optical fibers. (2) Background technology [0002] A remarkable feature of vortex beams is that they have orbital angular momentum (Physical Review A, 1992, 45(11): 8185-8189), so they have been widely studied in recent years and have been widely used in communication, optical tweezers, atom manipulation and microscopy has been greatly applied. The most common way to generate vortex beams is to use spatial light modulators (OpticsExpress, 2008, 16(21): 16984-16992), however, spatial light modulators are generally bulky, expensive, and require optical coupling in free space , which causes a lot of inconvenience. [0003] The fiber-based vortex light generator has more advantages in remote interaction and system miniaturization. Researc...
