Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber technology, in particular to a highly doped Tb 3+ Phosphate glass core composite optical fiber and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Magneto-optical materials are the core materials of high-tech intensive products of magneto-optic technology, mainly including magneto-optic liquid materials, magneto-optic crystal materials, magneto-optic glass and magneto-optic glass fiber materials. Magneto-optical liquid materials are due to the remarkable magneto-induced birefringence effect of certain liquids, but their Coton-Monton constants are much smaller than other optical Kerr constants, so they are rarely used in practice. Although magneto-optic crystals have outstanding magneto-optical effects, their inherent defects, such as limited size and shape, and birefringence due to crystal anisotropy, limit the scope of their applications. The magneto-optical glass material has good light tran...
