Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in order to form a non-adiabatic structure, a micro-nano fiber that stimulates multi-mode interference requires a tapered area with a large cone angle. The preparation method of the micro-nano fiber described above is basically difficult to prepare a micro-nano fiber that stimulates multi-mode interference.
like figure 1 As shown, the micro-nano optical fiber preparation method that has been reported to stimulate multi-mode interference at this stage, such as the two-step stretching method (Dong, H., Fu, J., Tong, L., Tang, S., & Xu, Y.(2009).Transverse Multimode Evolution in Micro / Nanofiber Tapers.Communications and Photonics Conference and Exhibition(Vol.27,pp.1-2).IEEE.), it is necessary to make a single-mode fiber in a fusion splicer first After the tapered structure, the diameter of the optical fiber is further thinned by the flame drawing method. This manufacturing method is relatively complicated and has poor repeatability, and the production time and materials are very expensive.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing multi-mode interference exciting micro-nano optical fibers based on multi-step intermittent stretching. The method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly heated standard single-mode optical fibers are stretched in opposite directions in a short time rapidly, axially and simultaneously; (2) stopping is performed slightly after one stretching is completed, so that the stretched optical fibers are uniformly heated again; (3) the steps (1) and (2) are repeated multiple times in sequence until the multi-mode interference exciting micro-nano optical fibers with specified waist region diameter are obtained. The refractive index sensitivity of the multi-mode interference exciting micro-nano optical fibers is much higher than that of traditionalglass materials, so, the optical fibers have wide potential applications in many fields such as lasers, sensors and the like.
