Problems solved by technology

This method uses a focused femtosecond laser to write out the periodic structure of the phase-shifted FBG one by one. Since the period of the phase-shifted FBG is usually below a few microns, this method requires the processing platform to have sub-micron scale precision and long-term high Stability, and this method takes a long time to prepare FBG with a large length
In addition, it was found that when FBG is prepared by using femtosecond laser and uniform periodic phase mask, the phase shift will also occur through two irradiations, but this method cannot accurately control the magnitude of the phase shift

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing phase shift optical fiber bragg grating based on femtosecond laser direct writing. The method comprises the following steps: performing fixed point radiation or scanning in a fiber core area of the optical fiber bragg grating of an ordinary structure by using focused femtosecond laser, forming one or more areas with changed refractive indexes in the fiber core area of the optical fiber bragg grating of the ordinary structure, and forming a phase shift structure, thereby obtaining the phase shift optical fiber bragg grating. Compared with the prior art, the method is relatively simple in processing procedure, high in processing speed and applicable to optical fiber of different materials, and precision control of phase shift within 0-2pi can be achieved. The phase shift optical fiber bragg grating prepared by using the method provided by the invention can be applied to fields of sensation, optical fiber laser and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fiber optics and nonlinear optics, and relates to a processing method of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a phase shift structure. Background technique [0002] The phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is formed by introducing a phase mutation at a specific position of a conventional FBG. The most common one is π-phase-shifted FBG, which can open a transmission window in the Bragg reflection band, making the grating have a higher selectivity for a certain wavelength, so it is often used as a narrowband bandpass filter. If multiple phase shift points are introduced in the grating, multiple transmission windows can exist in the Bragg reflection spectrum, which can be used for fiber multi-channel filters. For a single phase shift point phase shift FBG, the FBG divided into two sections and the intermediate phase shift region can form a resonant cavity. When the phase shift FBG is an active fiber with gain, it cons...
