Problems solved by technology

Due to the low solubility of rare earth ions in quartz fiber, to achieve higher power laser output, the length of the fiber needs to be increased, which will make it difficult to achieve higher power narrow-linewidth single-frequency laser output in the quartz fiber resonator. Solve A feasible solution to this problem is to prepare high-concentration rare-earth-doped optical fibers, which requires the glass matrix of the optical fiber to have a higher rare-earth doping degree to shorten the length of the gain fiber
The rare earth solubility of multi-component glass is higher than that of quartz, but the softening point of glass optical fibers such as fluoride and chalcogenide is low, and it is difficult to weld with quartz optical fibers, and it is difficult to achieve commercial high-power laser output
Ordinary silicate glass optical fiber has a high softening point and is easy to be fused with quartz optical fiber, but the solubility of rare earth is usually low. If the rare earth element is doped higher, the difference between the devitrification (crystallization, segregation, etc.) temperature and softening temperature will be Reduced, even the glass will lose its clarity as soon as it softens, which cannot meet the requirements of the optical fiber drawing process

preparation example Construction

[0045] Alkali metal oxides play the role of breaking the network during the preparation of glass. Sodium oxide and potassium oxide have similar effects, which can reduce the melting temperature of glass. The higher the content, the worse the physical and chemical properties of the glass. An appropriate amount of lithium oxide has a good fluxing effect, and lithium oxide can also improve the chemical stability of the glass, but excessive introduction will easily lead to crystallization or phase separation. When containing two or more alkali metal oxides, the mixed alkali effect will occur in the glass, and the low melting point glass with high chemical stability and high resistivity can be prepared by using this effect.

[0046] The present invention adopts alkali metal oxide with a molar percentage of 10-35%, and further adopts lithium oxide with a molar percentage of 0-6%, sodium oxide with a molar percentage of 3-15%, and potassium oxide with a molar percentage of 3-15%. And...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser and optical fiber, in particular to a borosilicate glass and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Since the birth of lasers in the 1960s, solid-state lasers have developed rapidly and are widely used in industrial, medical, scientific research, military and other fields. As the core device in solid-state lasers, the performance of the gain medium (including laser crystals, transparent ceramics and glass, etc.) is very important, especially in some high-power solid-state lasers, the gain medium is required to have high rare earth doping and mechanical strength, etc. to increase the gain factor and damage threshold. In laser glass, the melting point of fluoride glass and chalcogenide glass is usually low, and its mechanical strength is generally not as good as that of silicate glass. Even phosphate glass, which belongs to oxide glass, has a high solubility of rare ear...
