Abstract

A Rayleigh scattering enhanced optical fiber and its preparation method. The cladding of a single-core optical fiber or a multi-core optical fiber is engraved with waveguides along the direction of the center line. The waveguides are parallel to the fiber cores. The number of waveguides is the same as the number of fiber cores. The core corresponds to a waveguide; the preparation method of the optical fiber includes: pretreatment of the optical fiber; placing the glass slide carrying the optical fiber on a three-dimensional displacement platform and fixing it; after the processing parameters are set, write the waveguide on the cladding of the optical fiber with a femtosecond laser ; Waveguide scattering test. The present invention uses femtosecond laser to write the waveguide at the cladding of the optical fiber to form a cladding waveguide, which can enhance the back Rayleigh scattered light in the optical fiber and increase the Rayleigh scattering intensity without affecting the transmitted light in the fiber core; On the basis of increased Rayleigh scattering signal strength, it also has extremely low transmission loss, which can enhance the sensing accuracy and sensing distance of distributed technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical components, and in particular relates to a Rayleigh scattering enhanced optical fiber and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber can be used as an excellent sensor carrier due to its anti-electromagnetic interference, corrosion resistance, high sensitivity, small transmission loss, and large transmission capacity. Taking advantage of the inherent Rayleigh scattering in ordinary optical fibers, optical fibers can be used as distributed sensors. For example, optical frequency domain reflectometry can realize high spatial resolution monitoring of physical parameter changes along the optical fiber. Optical fiber-based distributed acoustic sensing technology utilizes Rayleigh backscattering in optical fibers to locate and recover acoustic information (amplitude, phase, and frequency) on optical fiber links. However, in order to reduce the optical loss in communication, comm...
