Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing photonic crystal fiber integrated end caps. The method has the advantages that photonic crystal fibers with air holes are rotationally heated by the aid of carbon dioxide laser devices according to certain rotation speeds and heating power, the air holes can be uniformly synchronously collapsed and solidified, the photonic crystal fibers are further cut by fiber cutters, accordingly, the end caps with different end surface angles can be obtained, and application requirements on the large-mode-area photonic crystal fibers in the aspects of all-fiber laser devices and high-power laser can be met; the problem of insufficient weld strength due to uneven fiber cut sections when external quartz glass end caps and existing photonic crystal fibers are welded with one another can be solved, the seamlessly connected end caps can be obtained on the original photonic crystal fibers by means of direct collapsing, accordingly, follow-up treatment application can be facilitated, and the method is free of influence on the laser performance of the fibers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber, in particular to a method for preparing a quartz glass photonic crystal optical fiber end cap. Background technique [0002] Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is widely used in optical communication, high power transmission, Fiber lasers, supercontinuum, etc. have broad applications. Its unique air hole structure makes it impossible to cut and splice like conventional silica fibers. Therefore, special processes must be used to treat the PCF end face, such as welding end caps, on the one hand to improve the pollution and end face damage caused by the temperature rise of the end face under high power conditions; Lay the foundation for all-fiber applications. Due to the particularity of PCF production and structure, the processing technology is difficult and expensive. Only a few companies such as NKT can complete the welding of end caps with high quality in the world. There is still a big gap between China and th...
