Embodiment Construction

[0034] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention discloses an optical fiber that suppresses the photodarkening of ytterbium-doped silica optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Combined with the advantages of molecular-level doping uniformity and low loss preparation, ytterbium ions and aluminum ions and phosphorus ions are effectively doped in the quartz matrix, which effectively solves the problem of high optical fiber loss and photodarkening caused by clusters. And the center of refraction depression problem. The indicators of the present invention fully meet the requirements for the use of commercial optical fibers: the power can be reduced by 5% for 500 hours under 1000W pumping conditions, and the loss is as low as 15dB / km. When the doping concentration of ytterbium ions reaches 0.3mol%, the laser The efficiency is greater than 80%, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-photodarkening ytterbium-doped quartz optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. According to the anti-photodarkening ytterbium-doped quartz optical fiber, glassof an optical fiber core rod is at least prepared from Yb2O3, Al2O3, P2O5 and SiO2, wherein the ratio of the Yb2O3 in the whole substance is 0.05-0.3 mol%, the ratio of the Al2O3 in the whole substance is 1-3 mol%, and the ratio of the P2O5 in the whole substance is 1-5 mol%. According to the preparation method for the anti-photodarkening ytterbium-doped quartz optical fiber, a sol-gel method andan improved chemical vapor deposition method are combined, the molecular-level doping uniformity and the low-loss preparation advantages are utilized, ytterbium ions, aluminum ions and phosphorus ionsare effectively doped in a quartz matrix, and therefore the problem of high optical fiber loss, photodarkening caused by the reasons such as cluster and refractive index center depression can be effectively solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fibers, in particular to an anti-photodarkening ytterbium-doped silica optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Ytterbium-doped silica fiber is the core component of 1μm fiber laser. With the rapid development of energy optoelectronic technologies such as semiconductor laser pumping and laser coupling, the power of ytterbium-doped fiber lasers has also developed from the initial watt level to the 10,000 watt level. However, with the increase of laser power, the output power of Yb-doped silica fiber decreases with the increase of running time, which is called photodarkening phenomenon. Photodarkening greatly restricts the lifetime and stability of high-power Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. [0003] The main reasons for the photodarkening phenomenon of ytterbium-doped silica fiber are as follows. The first is the color center. Regarding the cause of the color center, S.Yo...
