Embodiment Construction

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A high-efficiency and low-loss all-fiber fusion mode selective coupler proposed by the present invention mainly includes packaging materials, single-mode optical fibers and few-mode optical fibers; wherein, the few-mode optical fibers are standard communication optical fibers (G.652), and the single-mode optical fibers are For special optical fiber, the few-mode fiber and single-mode fiber are stripped of the coating layer, and the fusion tapering process is carried out directly on the fusion tapering machine, without pre-tapering the single-mode fiber or few-mode fiber. The mode selective coupler is encapsulated with an encapsulating material by drawing to a specific size on a taper machine.

[0022] As the high-efficiency and low-loss all-fiber fusion mode selective coupler of the present invention, the standard communicatio...

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-efficiency low-loss all-fiber fusion mode selection coupler comprising a less-mode fiber and a single-mode fiber with a coating layer respectively peeled off; the single-mode fiber is specially made; the refractive index of the fiber core of the single mode fiber under a specific wavelength is smaller than the quality of the fiber core refractive index of the less-mode fiber under the same wavelength; the high purity high order mode in the less-mode fiber can be excited without pre-tapering the single-mode fiber or less-mode fiber; a model switching function anda mode separating function are provided. The selection coupler can pack through a packing material. The single-mode fiber and less-mode fiber employ the all-fiber fusion coupling mode, the structure is compact, and the formed mode selection coupler is high in coupling efficiency, high in polarization purity, small in insert loss, and simple in making process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber couplers, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency and low-loss all-fiber fusion mode selective coupler. Background technique [0002] At present, the optical fiber used in the communication field is a single-mode optical fiber, but the single-mode optical fiber that can only transmit one mode is rapidly approaching the limit of its transmission capacity. To solve this capacity limit, various methods including wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and polarization division multiplexing (PDM) have been proposed. In recent years, mode division multiplexing (MDM) has become the focus of improving the data carrying capacity of optical fibers. The optical fiber used in this method is a few-mode optical fiber capable of transmitting several high-order spatial modes, rather than a single-mode optical fiber limited to one spatial mode. One of the most important issues in a mode-division mult...
