Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hollow core optical fibers, in particular to a high single-mode ultra-low loss hollow core anti-resonance optical fiber, belonging to the technical field of optical communication and transmission. Background Art
[0002] Hollow-core antiresonant optical fiber has a unique microstructure design that can confine the transmitted light wave in the air core, and has important applications in the fields of interaction between light and filling materials, nonlinear optics, gas detection, gas laser generation, optofluidic technology, etc.; due to its unique structure and light-guiding mechanism, it can obtain ultra-low Rayleigh scattering, low nonlinear coefficient, and adjustable dispersion characteristics, which can provide a higher laser damage threshold, making it potentially applicable in high-power laser transmission, ultraviolet / mid-infrared light transmission, pulse compression, and optical soliton transmission; the air core's ultra-low loss, low dispersion, low nonlinearity, and propagation speed close to the speed of light can realize the development of hollow-core optical fiber communication transmission and communication devices, laying the foundation for the construction and development of the next generation of ultra-large capacity, low-latency, and high-speed optical communication systems.
[0003] Even though hollow-core optical fiber has unique and huge advantages in design and application, the high-order modes of hollow-core optical fiber cannot be effectively filtered out like solid-core single-mode optical fiber because it does not naturally have high-order mode cutoff conditions. This will greatly limit its application scenarios in short-distance transmission. Research work in recent years has shown that reasonable structural design can improve the leakage loss of high-order mode modes to a certain extent, thereby producing an effect close to single-mode after a certain distance.
[0004] The commonly used method for filtering out high-order modes is to select a high-attenuation cladding mode and make it highly phase-matched with the LP11 mode in the fiber core through structural design, thereby effectively improving the leakage loss of the LP11 mode. The key factors in this design method are: the native attenuation of the cladding mode and its phase matching with the LP11 mode. Generally speaking, the higher the attenuation of the cladding mode and the higher the phase matching with the LP11 mode, the greater the improvement in the leakage of the LP11 mode and the better the single-mode property.
[0005] US Patent US11733451B2 discloses a single-ring hollow core antiresonant fiber. The patent proposes to use the high-loss antiresonant unit (ARE) mode to highly phase-match the core LP11 mode. The structure is very simple, the drawing difficulty is relatively low, and it can achieve an ultra-high high-order mode suppression ratio. When the cladding tube and core size ratio is about 0.68, a broadband high single-mode effect can be achieved, and the LP11 mode attenuation can reach 10 2However, this structure is difficult to achieve ultra-low attenuation transmission. Currently, the lowest attenuation in the near-infrared band is 4.3dB / km (1080nm), and the attenuation in the communication band is even higher. In addition, the bending resistance is poor, so it does not have much advantage in many applications in the near-infrared band.
[0006] Chinese patent CN110515152B discloses a single nested tube nodeless hollow core antiresonant fiber (Nested Anti-Resonant Nodeless Fiber, NANF) and a double nested tube nodeless hollow core antiresonant fiber (Double Nested Anti-Resonant Nodeless Fiber, DNANF). These two structures effectively reduce the transmission loss of the fundamental mode by increasing the number of antiresonant layers. For NANF fiber, its minimum attenuation has reached 0.22dB / km, and DNANF has broken the minimum attenuation record of traditional solid core fiber, reaching 0.11dB / km. However, while achieving ultra-low attenuation, the above two optical fibers also keep the loss of the LP11 mode at a very low level. When the NANF structure realizes the optimal resonant leakage design of the LP11 mode, the theoretical LP11 attenuation is about 10 2 ~10 3 dB / km level, under actual manufacturing and placement conditions, the current maximum can reach 2.6dB / m. The native attenuation of its cladding mode has been greatly reduced with the increase in the number of structural layers, so the attenuation of the LP11 mode cannot reach a sufficiently high level. This situation is more serious in the DNANF structure: first, the attenuation of the cladding mode in the DNANF structure is further reduced; second, there is not enough space in the cladding area of the DNANF structure to achieve sufficient phase matching between the LP11 mode and the cladding mode, and the theoretical attenuation of the LP11 mode is already less than 10 2 dB / km, which means that DNANF fiber cannot effectively filter out high-order modes, seriously affecting the signal transmission quality.

[0044] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings.
[0045] The commonly used high-order mode filtering method in hollow-core optical fiber is to select a high-attenuation cladding mode and make it highly phase-matched with the LP11 mode in the core through structural design, thereby effectively improving the leakage loss of the LP11 mode. In general, the designed LP11 mode attenuation depends on the native attenuation of the cladding mode and its phase matching degree with the LP11 mode. In general, the higher the attenuation of the cladding mode and the higher the phase matching degree with the LP11 mode, the greater the leakage improvement of the LP11 mode and the better the single-mode property.

The first inner nested glass tube is tangent to the inner wall of the outer cladding and deflects to one side, that is, the line L2 connecting the center of curvature (center of circle) of the first inner nested glass tube and the center of curvature (center of circle) of the outer nested glass tube forms a deflection angle with the extended line L1 connecting the center of curvature of the outer nested glass tube and the geometric center of the fiber core, and the deflection angle is θ1. The second inner nested glass tube is tangent to the first inner nested glass tube, and the tangent point is located at the same point where the first inner nested glass tube is tangent to the inner wall of the outer cladding; the line L3 connecting the center of curvature (center of circle) of the first inner nested glass tube and the center of curvature (center of circle) of the second inner nested glass tube forms an opposite deflection angle with L2, and the deflection angle is θ2; the deflection directions of all inner nested glass tubes are consistent. The central cavity covered by the inner cladding forms the fiber core 5, and the fiber core area and other internal spaces are filled with gas. The gas is argon, nitrogen, helium, air or a mixture of multiple gases. Specifically: the relevant parameters of this embodiment are: the core diameter D is 29μm, the outer diameter d1 of the outer nested glass tube is 44μm, and the circumference angle of the arc is 245°; the outer diameter d2 of the first inner nested glass tube is 24μm, and the ratio to the outer diameter of the outer nested glass tube is 0.55; the outer diameter d3 of the second inner nested glass tube is 10μm, and the ratio to the outer diameter of the first inner nested glass tube is 0.41; the inner diameter of the outer cladding (outer cladding cavity diameter) is 105μm. In this embodiment, the wall thickness of each nested glass tube is 1.1μm. When the wall thickness of each nested glass tube is about 0.95μm, the second resonant working band is extended to 1310nm. When the first anti-resonance window is used as the communication working band, the wall thickness of each nested glass tube is about 0.5μm.
