43 results about "Cladding mode" patented technology

In fiber optics, a cladding mode is a mode that is confined to the cladding of an optical fiber by virtue of the fact that the cladding has a higher refractive index than the surrounding medium, which is either air or the primary polymer overcoat. These modes are generally undesired. Modern fibers have a primary polymer overcoat with a refractive index that is slightly higher than that of the cladding, so that light propagating in the cladding is rapidly attenuated and disappears after only a few centimeters of propagation. An exception to this is double-clad fiber, which is designed to support a mode in its inner cladding, as well as one in its core. This article incorporates public domain material from the General Services Administration document "Federal Standard 1037C".

The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensing. Provided are a ring-type small-period long-period fiber grating sensor, and a preparation method therefor and the application thereof. A ring-type small-period long-period fiber grating provided in the present invention matches the cross-sectional shape of an optical fiber, and rings can more effectively expand the area of each refractive index modulation region in the cross section of the optical fiber, such that the ring-type grating has large refractive index modulation regions in both the axial direction and longitudinal direction of the optical fiber, and the intensities of a Bragg resonance peak and a cladding mode resonance peak can thus be simultaneously enhanced. Therefore, the Bragg resonance peak and the cladding mode resonance peak can be simultaneously observed in a transmission spectrum of the ring-type grating, such that simultaneous measurement of an ambient refractive index and temperature can be realized, and there is no longer a need to observe a reflection peak, thereby simplifying multi-parameter sensing test steps of the small-period long-period fiber grating.

Cladding mode efficient filtering method for microstructure optical fiber

The invention provides a cladding mode efficient filtering method for microstructure optical fibers, and relates to the technical field of optical fibers, and the method comprises the steps: taking two microstructure optical fibers which are different in structure and have a diameter difference value of a fiber core fundamental mode field within a diameter difference value range, and carrying out the non-oblique-angle cutting of the end faces of the two microstructure optical fibers through a cutting knife; and aligning the axial directions of the two sections of cut micro-structure optical fibers, and splicing at the cutting end surface to obtain a spliced micro-structure optical fiber. The method has the beneficial effects that two sections of microstructure optical fibers with different structures but similar fiber core fundamental mode field diameters are selected, oblique-angle-free cutting is carried out, splicing (welding, butt joint or coupler coupling) is carried out at the cutting end face, and it is ensured that splicing points are axially coaxial but cladding waveguide structures have differences. At a continuous connection point, because the cladding microstructures (such as air hole arrangement, number, shape and the like) of the two sections of optical fibers are discontinuous, the continuity of the cladding waveguide is damaged. Therefore, cladding mode energy is efficiently filtered or scattered, and the strength of the cladding mode energy is greatly weakened.

LC type fiber optic connector B-value testing device

This invention relates to the field of LC connector testing technology and discloses a B-value testing device for LC fiber optic connectors. This invention solves the problem that existing LC connector B-value testing using mechanized equipment does not consider the influence of the fiber cladding mode on the test data. The invention utilizes an electric push rod, a first push plate, a second push plate, and a compression spring. Activating the electric push rod causes the upper clamping block to move upwards and outwards. This raises one end of the output and input fibers connected to the upper clamping block to a certain height, then pulls one end towards the other. Since the lower clamping block remains stationary, the movement of the upper clamping block causes the output and input fibers to be squeezed into a loop. Due to the special shape of this loop, a signal attenuation effect is generated, thereby eliminating the additional optical signal brought by the cladding mode and avoiding deviations in the test values. Furthermore, the looping is controlled mechanically, making it easier to control the loop diameter compared to manual looping, preventing excessively large loop diameters and excessive losses.

For dispersion fiber grating reflection spectrum flatness degradation caused by dual effects of cladding mode coupling and the Fabry-Perot effect, gate region refractive index modulation depth distribution curve optimization is carried out, and design parameters of phase mask plate nonlinear + / -1 level diffraction efficiency and groove depth distribution are obtained; according to the requirement for femtosecond laser system multi-order dispersion registration, improvement of phase mask plate groove width distribution design parameters is carried out according to the mapping relation between a multi-order dispersion value and a non-linear period, and finally the phase mask plate preparation method with + / -1-order diffraction efficiency and period distribution optimization is obtained. The method provides an effective means for preparation of the dispersion fiber grating which is highly flat in reflection spectrum and can be registered with multi-order dispersion of a femtosecond laser system, and compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention has the advantages of low cost, high flexibility, high stability and the like.
