Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of special optical fiber preparation, and in particular to a rare earth doped optical fiber for suppressing mode instability effect and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Mode instability refers to the sudden change of the steady-state fundamental mode output to the non-steady-state high-order mode output when the output power of high-power fiber laser increases, which will lead to the degradation of beam quality and limit the increase of output power of diffraction-limited beam quality fiber laser. Mode instability will lead to the rapid degradation of laser beam quality, severely restricting the application of fiber laser. It has become one of the biggest limiting factors for the increase of power of diffraction-limited beam quality large mode area ytterbium-doped fiber laser, and has attracted widespread attention of researchers in recent years.
[0003] It is generally believed that factors such as optical fiber waste heat, high-order modes, and photodarkening can lead to mode instability effects or cause a decrease in the threshold of mode instability. The patent with publication number CN 115611508B discloses a rare-earth-doped optical fiber for suppressing mode instability effects and a preparation method thereof. The core of the optical fiber includes a central region and an outer ring region; the central region is a rare-earth-doped quartz glass with low loss and low thermal conductivity, and the outer ring region is a yttrium aluminum silicate glass with high loss and high thermal conductivity. The optical fiber utilizes the high loss of the outer ring region of the core to suppress the high-order modes in the optical fiber, suppress the coupling of the fundamental mode and the high-order mode, and thus play a role in suppressing the mode instability effect; at the same time, the high thermal conductivity outer ring region can export the heat of the core, suppress the mode instability effect caused by the thermal effect, and achieve an increase in the threshold of the mode instability effect. However, this solution adopts a single means to suppress the MI effect, the MI suppression effect is not ideal, and the MI effect threshold is relatively low. When the external conditions such as test conditions and preparation conditions are consistent, the MI threshold of this application can be increased to more than 3kW, and the MI threshold of patent CN 115611508B is only 2.5KW.
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to design an improved rare-earth-doped optical fiber for suppressing the mode instability effect and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0044] The preparation method of the rare earth-doped optical fiber for suppressing mode instability effect provided by the present invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] A method for preparing a rare earth-doped optical fiber for suppressing mode instability effects mainly comprises the following steps:
[0047] S1, using the traditional MCVD process, using vapor deposition technology to deposit a low refractive index channel area in the tube, with a channel width of 1-3um and a refractive index depth of -0.0005~ -0.001;
[0048] S2, deposition of SiO 2 The loose layer is on the inner wall of the quartz tube. The quartz tube with the loose layer deposited is removed and placed in a mixed doping solution of P, B, and Sr. The tube is taken out and dried. The ion concentrations are 1.5M, 1M, and 0.2M respectively. The tube is put back on the MCVD lathe and F element is doped using the gas phase technology. The tube is sintered at 1300-1600°C and vitrified at 1850°C to complete the preparation of the passive area of the fiber core.
[0049] S3, deposition of SiO 2 The loose layer is on the inner wall of the quartz tube. The quartz tube with the loose layer deposited is removed and placed in a mixed doping solution of Al, P, Sr, and Yb with ion concentrations of 1.5M, 1.5M, 0.2M, and 0.5M, respectively. The tube is taken out and dried, and then placed back on the MCVD lathe. The F element is doped using the gas phase technology, and the sintering is completed at 1300-1600°C. The vitrification is completed at 1850°C to complete the preparation of the core active area.
[0050] S4, completing collapse at 2000°C-2200°C to obtain a dense solid core optical fiber preform;
[0051] S5, placing the optical fiber preform on an optical fiber drawing tower, and drawing the optical fiber to obtain a quartz optical fiber with a core / cladding diameter of 25um / 400um and a numerical aperture of 0.04.
[0052] This optical fiber has many characteristics such as low numerical aperture, low thermo-optical coefficient, channel structure, and partial doping.
[0053] Figure 1The refractive index curve corresponding to each region of the rare earth-doped optical fiber for suppressing the mode instability effect prepared in Example 1. It can be seen that the refractive index of the core active region and the core passive region is basically the same, ensuring low-loss transmission of the fundamental mode light in the core, and the refractive index of the channel region is 0.0005-0.001 lower than that of the pure silica cladding, and the width is usually 3um, which further filters out the high-order mode and reduces the mode field area.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that in step S5, the optical fiber preform is placed on an optical fiber drawing tower to draw the optical fiber to obtain a quartz optical fiber with a core / cladding diameter of 30um / 400um, and the core diameter is increased to 30um. The rest is substantially the same as Example 1 and will not be described in detail.
[0056] Comparative Example 1
[0057] The difference between comparative example 1 and embodiment 1 is mainly that: the B element is not introduced in step S2, that is, the mode loss of the passive region of the core is not significantly increased. The rest is substantially the same as embodiment 1 and will not be described again.
[0058] Comparative Example 2
[0059] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that the mixed doping solution components in step S2 and step S3 are the same, both are mixed doping solutions of Al, P, Sr, and Yb, that is, the doping components of the core passive region and the core active region are the same. The rest is substantially the same as in Example 1 and will not be described here.
[0060] Comparative Example 3
[0061] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that step S1 is not performed, that is, the channel is not deposited. The rest is substantially the same as Example 1 and will not be described again.

[0068] The MI threshold of comparative example 1 is 2.9 kW, and the beam quality is greater than 2. Compared with example 1, it can be seen that when the high-order mode high loss condition of the core passive region is not met, the MI threshold and the beam quality will deteriorate.
[0069] The MI threshold of comparative example 2 is 2.3 kW, and the beam quality is greater than 2. Compared with example 1, it can be seen that when the central doping condition is not met, both the MI threshold and the beam quality will deteriorate.
[0070] The MI threshold of comparative example 3 is 2.2 kW, and the beam quality is greater than 2. Compared with example 1, it can be seen that when channel deposition is not provided, both the MI threshold and the beam quality will deteriorate.
[0071] The MI threshold of comparative example 4 is 1.8 kW, and the beam quality is greater than 2. Compared with example 1, it can be seen that when a low numerical aperture is not provided, both the MI threshold and the beam quality will deteriorate.
[0072] In summary, the present invention first deposits a low-refractive-index channel region in a quartz tube, so that the optical fiber has a higher high-order mode loss; then, the core passive region and the core active region with different doping components are sequentially prepared to achieve different thermo-optic coefficients in the local area of the core. By introducing negative thermo-optic coefficient materials, the optical fiber thermo-optic coefficient is reduced, the nonlinear inter-mode coupling effect is weakened, and the effective suppression of MI is achieved; at the same time, the rare earth ion center doping method is adopted to reduce the high-order mode gain in the case of a large core, and then the mode competition mechanism is used to suppress the generation of high-order modes, increase the proportion of fundamental modes, suppress the coupling effect of fundamental mode-high-order modes, further increase the MI threshold, and improve the beam quality; the low numerical aperture and channel structure design make the optical fiber have a higher high-order mode loss, suppress the inter-mode coupling effect, thereby further realizing the suppression of the MI effect, while ensuring that the large-core optical fiber can still achieve a higher proportion of fundamental mode output, with good beam quality. This patent integrates multiple advantageous features, superimposing multiple MI effect suppression technologies such as low-thermal optical material technology, partial doping technology, low numerical aperture bent filter technology, high-order mode coupling loss technology, and high-order mode self-loss technology, to continuously suppress the MI effect and significantly increase the MI threshold while ensuring the beam quality of the large-core optical fiber output laser.
