A method for pulling arrayed optical fiber optical tweezers

Abstract

The invention relates to a pulling method of array optical fiber optical tweezers. A coating layer at one end of each optical fiber is removed, and bare optical fibers are threaded into a quartz tubein bundles; the quartz tube is fixed to a tapering clamp, the external moving velocity and the flame moving velocity of the tapering clamp is controlled to conduct test pulling, the insertion loss ofthe obtained array optical tweezers is detected, the flame sprayer nozzle height is adjusted, the heated temperature of the quartz tube is precisely controlled, the insertion loss meets the requirements, after the flame sprayer nozzle height and the flame moving velocity are determined, the external moving velocity of the tapering clamp is controlled to subjected to variable speed tapering from slow to fast, and the optical fiber tweezers with the taper angle of 30 degrees-45 degrees are obtained. According to the pulling method of the array optical fiber optical tweezers, the quartz tube perfectly constrains optical fiber bundles, optical fibers of the array optical fiber optical tweezers are closely arranged and symmetrical relative to the center line, and the efficiency is significantlyimproved; and the heated temperature of the quartz tube is adjusted through the flame sprayer nozzle height, the temperature adjustment accuracy is less than 0.5 DEG C, quick tapering at multiple variable speed ensures the index of the insertion loss of the array optical fiber optical tweezers is qualified, and the test pulling time is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing array optical fiber tweezers, in particular to a method for drawing array optical fiber optical tweezers. Background technique [0002] In 1969, Ashkin et al. of Bell Laboratories in the United States realized laser-driven micro-particles for the first time, and found that when the refractive index of the particles is greater than that of the surrounding medium, the particles will be sucked into the beam in the transverse direction, and two laser beams propagating in opposite directions are used. A double-beam optical trap is realized. In 1970, Ashkin et al. first proposed the concept of using light pressure to manipulate tiny particles, and successfully clamped and moved small glass beads in aqueous solution using the two-dimensional potential well of a multi-beam laser. Later, this technology of laser clamping particles has been continuously improved , the particle size that can be captur...
