Problems solved by technology

The existing chalcogenide glass optical fiber tapering method has poor controllability and low efficiency. In addition, the unique mechanical strength of chalcogenide glass optical fiber is low, easy to break, and easy to oxidize when heated, which seriously restricts the chalcogenide glass tapered optical fiber. Application and Development in Special Infrared Optical Devices

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of chalcogenide glass tapered fibers. Chalcogenide glass fibers are tapered by the aid of accurate temperature control of a specific electric-heating coil and traction of a precision stepping motor, important parameters such as taper zone lengths, taper zone outer diameters and the like of the tapered fibers are controlled through control on the heating temperature and the tapering traction speed, and the chalcogenide glass tapered fibers with different taper zone lengths and taper zone outer diameters are drawn accurately. The method is simple in technology, high in operability, good in repeatability and high in accuracy and can effectively solve problems that the chalcogenide glass fibers are broken easily during tapering, fiber core diameters and taper zone lengths are difficult to control accurately and the like, the fiber core diameters of the prepared chalcogenide glass tapered fibers with nanoscale or submicron diameters range from 700 mu m to 1,000 mu m, the taper zone lengths range from 3 cm to 7 cm, the production cycle is short, the success rate is high, the chalcogenide glass tapered fibers can be applied to new technical fields of coupling of micro-waveguides, generation of super-continuum spectrum and the like, and research and application fields of the chalcogenide glass tapered fibers are greatly extended.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical device preparation, and relates to a preparation method of a micro-nano optical fiber, in particular to a preparation method of a chalcogenide glass tapered optical fiber. Background technique [0002] Tapered optical fiber is the optical fiber obtained by heating the conventional optical fiber to a softened state, and then performing thinning treatment. Tapered optical fiber is an important post-processing technology of optical fiber. The diameter of the optical fiber can be changed by tapering and the coupling of the optical field between multiple optical fibers can be realized, which is used in the manufacture of optical fiber devices such as couplers, wavelength division multiplexers and beam combiners. Moreover, the devices made by the tapering technology have the characteristics of stable performance and simple process requirements. In recent years, with the development of the tapering theo...
