Problems solved by technology

The dual-core fiber based on the coupling of single-mode fiber and few-mode fiber can also be used as a mode combiner. The disadvantage is that the fundamental mode of the single-mode fiber and the high-order mode of the few-mode fiber are coupled based on refractive index matching. Because it is difficult to achieve broadband matching, Its operating bandwidth is generally narrow, and coupling between different modes will occur [Few-mode optical fiber for mode-division multiplexing (few-mode optical fiber for mode-division multiplexing), Opt. Fiber Technol.,2011, 17(5): 490-494】

Embodiment 1

[0027] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Such as figure 1 As shown, this embodiment realizes LP 02 Die and LP 01 Die, LP 11 Separation between modules. The fiber matrix material 1 is pure silica, the radius of the three cores is 6.15 μm, and the refractive index difference between the core and the cladding is 0.012. The distance between the centers of adjacent cores is 22 μm. Light is input from the first core 2, LP 02 One mode is output from the third core 4 and the other modes are output from the first core 2 . Its coupling length curve is as image 3 shown. Visible, LP 02 The mode coupling length is much smaller than that of the other two modes. Take the fiber length as 33.5 mm. The energy of different modes output by the third core 4 is as follows: Figure 4 shown. Visible, in the wavelength range of 1.48-1.515μm, LP 02 The output power of the mode is greater than -1 dB, while th...

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber mode separator. An optical fiber is composed of host materials and three fiber cores, wherein center lines of the fiber cores form a straight line, the center distances between the middle fiber core and the side fiber cores are the same, and refractive index distribution and fiber core dimensions of the fiber cores are the same. The optical fiber structure with the three fiber cores is adopted, therefore, coupling length difference among different modes is increased, the modes can be separated effectively, and clutter among different modes can be inhibited effectively. The optical fiber mode separator is used in a serial connection mode, and capable of effectively separating a plurality of different modes. Optical fiber parameters are identical completely, and therefore, difficult manufacturing and effect of parameter errors on coupling performance of optical fibers are avoided when the fiber cores different in dimensions are adopted.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention involves the field of optical fiber communication, which is specifically divided into a separate mode separator with a separation between the implementation patterns. Background technique [0002] In recent years, air score reuse has attracted widespread interest.The air division reuse system is implemented by multi -core fiber or multi -mode fiber.When the multi -mode optical fiber is adopted, the mold is reused through different modes (including different polarization models).Due to the different information of different modes of loads, the use of modulus can effectively increase the transmission capacity of optical fibers. [0003] In the modulus reuse system, different modes need to be synthesized to a fiber, and different modes need to be effectively separated at the receiver.That is, the transmitter needs a pattern bouquet, and the mode separator needs to be required on the receiver.Divided components, such as grating, can be separated b...
