Problems solved by technology

[0009] The main problems in the above rare earth-doped optical fiber manufacturing process are the poor doping uniformity of various rare earth ions and co-doped ions, the low doping concentration, and the poor doping amount and composition of various dopants. In the application of optical devices, the gain flatness is not high, and the development of performance such as bandwidth is limited.
In the solution method, other solvents such as water and ethanol are introduced to pollute the core layer of the preform, and the uniformity of doping and the concentration of doping are very limited.
In the gas phase method, the uniformity is also greatly limited due to the uncontrolled evaporation of rare earth compounds and co-dopants.

Abstract

A process for preparing the prefabricated RE-doped optical-fibre rod features that the chemical gas-phase deposition of plasma is used to deposit the doped SiO2 layer on the inner surface of liner quartz tube and the evaporator is used to directly deliver the RE compound and other codoping agent into reaction tube for direct deposition without pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform, in particular to a method for directly depositing rare earth dopants by using a plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD) process to manufacture rare earth doped optical fibers. technical background [0002] In the early 1960s, at the same time as the semiconductor light amplification phenomenon was studied, the spectral characteristics of optical fibers doped with rare earth elements were also studied. At that time, these studies were carried out in anticipation of the development of rare earth fiber laser sources. From 1985 to 1986, Payne and others at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom effectively solved the problem of thermal quenching of erbium-doped optical fibers, developed a core-doped erbium-doped optical fiber by MCVD for the first time, and achieved a low loss window of 1.55 μm In 1987, they used a 650 dye laser as a pumping ligh...
