Embodiment 2

[0051] Embodiment 2 provides a kind of preferred multi-core optical fiber coupler preparation method based on microhole processing, such as Image 6 As shown, when step (4) prepares the seven-hole cylindrical quartz glass column 6, the position and diameter of the through hole are enlarged by K times, and K is a real number greater than 1;

[0052] When the processing accuracy of the through hole position is ±3.0 microns, and K is 10, the laser micro-hole processing technology is used to process the through holes. K, i.e. 450 microns, such as Image 6 The front end of the middle drawer cone 22;

[0053] The quartz glass column 6 is heated by a hydrogen-oxygen flame, and the quartz glass column 6 is tapered through a tapering platform. The length of the tapered area 21 is 5 to 20 mm, so that the diameter of the through hole in the end 20 of the tapered area formed after tapering is 20 mm. ~35 microns, and at the same time, the geometric distribution of the center of the throu...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a multi-core optical fiber coupler based on micropore processing. The preparation method comprises the following steps: optical fiber bundle preparation, multi-core optical fiber pretreatment, optical fiber bundle sleeve and multi-core optical fiber sleeve preparation, optical fiber bundle end and multi-core optic fiber end preparation, and package in an aligned manner. Micropore processing of a cylinder sleeve is performed through a mechanical drilling or laser drilling manner to obtain the optical fiber bundle sleeve and the multi-core optical fiber sleeve; a plurality of uniform micro through holes are precisely distributed in the sleeves, etched multi-core optical fibers and etched optical fiber bundles are arranged in the micro through holes of the sleeves, and are fixed with an ultraviolet adhesive or a heat curing adhesive, end surfaces are polished through a polishing machine, alignment is realized through a six-dimensional adjustment platform, and fixing of the glass sleeves is carried out through the ultraviolet adhesive or by using a welding machine to realize welding and fixing in an aligned manner, so as to complete the preparation of the multi-core optical fiber coupler. The preparation method has the characteristics of being high in suitability, low in cost, high in accuracy and low in loss.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication and sensing, and more specifically relates to a preparation method of a multi-core optical fiber coupler based on microhole processing. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the needs of communication systems, multi-core optical fibers have been paid more and more attention because they can provide new multiplexing dimensions and greatly increase the capacity of communication systems. The multi-core optical fiber communication system needs to be integrated with the existing single-mode optical fiber communication system, which requires low-loss connection between multi-core optical fiber and single-mode optical fiber. Therefore, multi-core optical fiber couplers are particularly important. cost-critical technology. [0003] At present, there are several methods for preparing multi-core fiber couplers: [0004] Tapering method: multiple single-core optical fibers are ...
