Abstract

The invention discloses a hollow core energy transfer mid-infrared fiber and a preparation method thereof. The fiber is applied to a quantum cascade laser, has a hollow tubular shape and comprises a fiber cladding, an air core therein and a fiber polymer protective layer disposed on the outer surface of the fiber cladding, wherein the fiber cladding comprises alternating spaced polymer layers andchalcogenide glass layers containing tellurium elements. In the hollow core energy transfer fiber cladding provided by the invention, the chalcogenide glass layers and the polymer layers are periodically spaced to form a photonic band gap structure. Since the cladding contains tellurium elements and the two materials have a high refractive index difference, a wide transmission range (covering 3-20[mu]m) and low loss therein are ensured. In addition, the core contains an air medium to increase the damage threshold of the fiber. Therefore, the fiber provided by the invention can be applied to the quantum cascade laser and rationally designs the above periodic structure to realize the adjustability of the transmission band. In addition, the polymer makes the fiber light, flexible and portable, thereby enabling the portable transmission of laser from the quantum cascade laser.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fiber optics, in particular to a mid-infrared hollow-core energy-transfer optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a new type of mid-to-far infrared semiconductor laser, which can provide an ultra-wide spectral range (3-20μm), has excellent wavelength tunability, and can achieve high output power, and can Working at room temperature, it has a good application prospect and a large application range. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize the advantages of quantum cascade lasers, the optical fiber used to transmit the laser light emitted by quantum cascade lasers is very important. [0003] At present, due to the inherent defects of the core material of the widely used solid core fiber, such as nonlinearity, dispersion, and light-induced damage, etc., the solid core fiber is limited in communication data transmission, high-power short-...
