Abstract

The invention relates to a hard cladding rare-earth-doped optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. The hard cladding rare-earth-doped optical fiber comprises a core layer, a quartz cladding and a fluorine-doped cladding which are arranged from inside to outside in the radial direction, wherein the core layer is doped with rare earth ions; and the refractive index of the fluorine-doped cladding is gradually increased from inside to outside in the radial direction. The part playing a light limiting role in the fluorine-doped quartz layer of the hard cladding optical fiber is mainly the part closest to the quartz cladding, so that in the embodiment, the fluorine-doped quartz layer is optimized, that is, the fluorine-doped cladding is designed into a form that the refractive index of the fluorine-doped cladding is gradually increased from inside to outside in the radial direction, and during manufacturing, high-concentration doping is carried out on the innermost side to ensure that the fluorine doping concentration meets the requirement, so that the light limiting requirement of the optical fiber can be met, and meanwhile, the fluorine doping amount is gradually reduced towards the outer side instead of carrying out high-concentration doping on the whole fluorine-doped cladding, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the fluorine-doped tube can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, in particular to a hard cladding rare earth-doped optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Rare earth doped fiber is an important class of active fiber. Rare earth-doped fiber refers to the doping of trace rare earth elements (such as ytterbium, erbium, etc.) Rare earth doped fibers can be used to manufacture fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers. [0003] Taking ytterbium-doped fiber as an example, as the gain medium of the laser, the ytterbium-doped fiber can convert the pump light into laser, and realize the laser output of the laser. Compared with solid-state lasers and gas lasers, fiber lasers are the laser form with the best beam quality. Fiber lasers essentially convert low-quality pump lasers into higher-quality laser outputs. Due to the continuous expansion of application fields, for fiber optics The demand for laser outpu...
