Abstract

The invention discloses a hollow-core microstructure optical fiber with angular mode selectivity, and belongs to the technical field of optical fiber optics and application thereof. The hollow-core microstructure optical fiber includes a matrix material (1), a wrapping layer formed by arranging rounded hexagonal air holes (2) in the matrix material in a hexagonal periodic mode, and large air holes (3) in a fiber core area. The size of the large air hole in the fiber core area is equal to the size of an area formed by one air hole in the wrapping layer and two to four layers of air holes with the air hole as the center. The wrapping layer comprises twelve symmetry axes which form an angle of 30 degrees, the sizes of wrapping layer air holes of which the centers fall on the twelve symmetry axes are larger or smaller than those of air holes in other positions, but the shapes of the wrapping layer air holes are kept consistent with those of the air holes in other positions. According to the invention, through geometric parameter modulation of specific air holes in 12 radial directions of the wrapping layer, an angular mode selection function is achieved, so that the optical fiber only supports pure-state low-loss transmission of an angular mode in a working wave band.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fiber optics and its application, in particular to a hollow-core microstructure optical fiber with angular mode selectivity. Background technique [0002] An optical fiber is an optical waveguide that confines light waves to travel in a finite number of modes. Optical fibers provide excellent system performance in interferometric sensing due to their excellent properties of stably transmitting light waves. Because the application scenarios of optical fibers are very complex, they are often affected by the external environment, such as stress changes, temperature changes, and pressure changes. When the fiber is disturbed, the light waves in different modes in the fiber may break away from the original mode and enter other modes, which is called mode coupling, which will cause the degradation of the light wave signal and affect the performance of the interferometric sensing system. Therefore, the stability of the l...
