Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the multi-core fiber gratings are exposed on one side [W.N. MacPherson, Meas. The grating pitch of the fiber core is inconsistent, and the reflection peak of each grating is also different. The core farther away from the writing beam has a smaller reflection peak, and multiple gratings satisfy a fixed relationship, and the tunability is poor. All these give us The research brings a lot of inconvenience

Abstract

The invention provides an inner wall melt-embedded type multicore single mode polarization-maintaining fiber grating and a manufacture method. The inner wall melt-embedded type multicore single mode polarization-maintaining fiber grating comprises a multicore fiber, the center of the multicore fiber is an air hole, part of each fiber core of the multicore fiber is embedded in a cladding with the refractive index lower than that of the fiber core while the other part thereof is suspended in the air hole to form an inner wall melt-embedded type multicore single mode polarization-maintaining fiber core in an ellipsoid-like shape, and the fiber core is prepared into the inner wall melt-embedded type multicore single mode polarization-maintaining fiber grating by an ultraviolet light source through a phase position maskplate writing technology. Due to good polarization-maintenance performance of the inner wall melt-embedded type multicore single mode polarization-maintaining fiber designed by the invention, the manufactured multiple polarization-maintaining fiber gratings are integrated into one optical fiber, thus improving integration of optical devices in optical fibers and facilitating simultaneous measurement of multiple physical quantities.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of optical fiber communication and optical fiber sensing. The invention relates to an optical fiber grating, and also relates to a manufacturing method of the optical fiber grating. Background technique [0002] Polarization Maintaining Optical Fiber (PMF, Polarization Maintaining Optical Fiber) is widely used in advanced coherent optical communications, fiber optic gyroscopes, hydrophones, fiber optic sensors, etc. due to its strong polarization maintaining ability for linearly polarized light. Key components in missiles and aircraft. Compared with the stress-type polarization-maintaining fiber, the polarization-maintaining fiber made of asymmetric fiber geometry has better temperature stability and has a wide range of applications. Fiber Bragg grating sensor is a research hotspot in the field of fiber optic sensing. Using the strain and thermal expansion of fiber Bragg grating to detect various physical...
