Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a Yb3+ doped silica fiber preform mandrel. The preparation method comprises the steps that silicon oxide powder doped with rare earth and co-doping agent Al, P and the like is prepared; decarbonization, dehydroxylation and ball-milling treatment are carried out; high-temperature purification is carried out; the purified powder biscuit is smelted at a high temperature to form glass, and the glass is prepared into the mandrel. The Yb3+ doped silica fiber preform mandrel with the diameter range of 3-18 mm and the length range of 50-300 mm can be prepared, the doping evenness of the mandrel is quite good, and the refractive index fluctuation of the mandrel delta n is smaller than 2*10<-4>. Correspondingly, the mandrel and a pure silica glass sleeving bar are adopted, the preform is prepared through a pipe-bar method, after optical fiber is formed through drawing, the refractive index evenness delta n of the optical fiber exceeds the detection limit of an instrument, and the back bottom loss of the optical fiber at the 1200 nm position is lowered from 0.5-1 dB to 0.05 dB/m and reaches the loss level of MCVD technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber prefabricated core rod, especially a large size, high uniformity, low loss Yb 3+ A method for preparing a doped silica optical fiber prefabricated core rod. Its main application is to prepare rare earth-doped large-mode-field silica fibers, including large-mode-field cladding fibers and various microstructured fibers Background technique [0002] Yb 3+ Doped silica fiber has been successfully used in industrial processing, medical treatment, energy, military and other fields due to its advantages of high laser power and good thermomechanical properties. For traditional Yb 3+ For doped silica-clad fibers (core size is generally less than 20 μm), the main factors that limit the further improvement of its laser performance are the nonlinear effect and laser damage caused by the increase of power density at the fiber end face. In order to solve this problem, large mode field fiber has been developed and has bec...
