Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the fabrication of optical fiber for signal transmission and more particularly, to an indirect heat type double-clad crystal fiber fabrication method.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- There are known many methods intensively used for making glass fibers. In a popularly known method, a glass cylinder is set in the top of a drawing tower, a high-temperature heating stove is used to indirectly heat the glass cylinder to a softened state, and then the softened glass cylinder is drawn downwards into a glass fiber. A glass fiber made according to this method has the advantages of low transmission loss, uniform diameter and rapid growth. However, this method is not practical for making single-crystal optical fiber because rapid growth results in a poor crystal quality.
- There is also known laser heated pedestal growth method. This method eliminates the drawback of a drawer tower of being unable to grow single-crystal optical fiber, and also overcomes semiconductor manufacturing process's problem of being unable to be fiberized. A double-clad crystal fiber made subject to laser heated pedestal growth method has optimal mechanical characteristics, sufficient to bear watt grade pumping power and fusible with glass fiber to constitute a full-optical network system. Further, a double-clad crystal fiber nowadays can be made having the core as small as 20 microns and the fiber length as long as 6 cm. When pumped at wavelength 1064 nm and power 1.16 watt, it enables signal light of wavelength 1047 nm to produce 16 dB signal gain. If the core can be reduced to 10 microns, more than 30 dB signal gain could be obtained.
- However, due to the power variation problem (±5%) of laser heated pedestal growth method, it is not easy to heat a glass cylinder directly with a laser beam for growing a double-clad optical fiber having the core smaller than 20 microns while maintaining the diameter in uniformity.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide an indirect heat type double-clad optical fiber fabrication method, which is practical to fabricate a double-clad optical fiber having a uniform diameter and a core diameter smaller than 10 microns.
- To achieve this object of the present invention, the double-clad optical fiber fabrication method double-clad optical fiber fabrication method is as follows: preparing a crystal fiber, and then inserting the crystal fiber into a silica capillary, and then attaching a sapphire tube to the periphery of the silica capillary, and then applying a laser beam to the sapphire tube to increase the temperature of the sapphire tube and to further fuse the silica capillary with thermal radiation to have the fused silica capillary be wrapped about the crystal fiber, thereby forming the desired double-clad optical fiber.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , before actual growth, finite element method was employed to simulate 2D temperature distribution by means of insertion of a silica capillary 20 and a Cr:YAG crystal fiber 30 in asapphire tube 10 and heating of the sapphire tube with laser R. In this test, the sapphire tube has the length of 1.5 millimeters, the outer diameter of 1.2 millimeters, and the inner diameter of 0.48 millimeters. The silica capillary has the length of 100 millimeters, the outer diameter of 0.32 millimeter, and the inner diameter of 0.076 millimeter. Cr:YAG crystal fiber has the diameter of 0.076 millimeter. Because focused laser beam is applied to an annular heating zone of 0.44 millimeter on the sapphire tube, the temperature distribution is axis symmetrical. The result was as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . As illustrated, the temperature variation from the inside toward the outside is within 1° C. This explains an excellent thermal capacitive effect that helps smooth heating of the silica capillary to grow a double-clad optical fiber having a uniform diameter. -
FIG. 4 illustrates the growth of crystal and the related equipment subject to LHPG method. By means of the application of the related equipment to match with different drawing and pushing speed ratios, different contraction ratios can be obtained. The invention also uses this equipment. The actual performance is as follows: - At first, prepare a Cr:YAG crystal fiber having the diameter of 0.07 millimeter, then insert the Cr:YAG crystal fiber into a silica capillary of outer diameter 0.32 millimeter and inner diameter 0.076 millimeter, and then set a sapphire tube of length 1.5 millimeter, outer diameter 1.2 millimeter and inner diameter 0.48 millimeter in the laser focus, and then apply CO2 laser to the sapphire tube within the height about 0.44 millimeter to produce thermal radiation, thereby heating the silica capillary, causing the fused silica capillary to be wrapped about the crystal fiber, and therefore the desired double-clad optical fiber is thus obtained.
- The crystal fiber material can be glass or crystal. According to the present invention, the Cr:YAG crystal fiber is used as a thermal capacitor that stabilizes wave motion of CO2 laser, and is free from the wave motion of laser power for heating the silica capillary indirectly to grow a double-clad crystal fiber having a uniform diameter and a core smaller than 10 micrometer. The laser power required for heating silica capillary indirectly with thermal radiation is about one tenth of the laser power required for heating silica capillary directly with laser beam.
- The change of core diameter relative to laser power in the growth of double-clad crystal fiber with or without sapphire tube is observed. When growing a double-clad crystal fiber without a sapphire tube, as shown in
FIG. 5 , it shows a change of 58.9% in core diameter when laser power is changed by 1%. When growing a double-clad crystal fiber with a sapphire tube, as shown inFIG. 6 , it shows a change of 5.88% in core diameter when laser power is changed by 1%. Apparently, the thermal capacitance effect of the sapphire tube effectively improves the problem of significant variation of the core diameter with the variation of the applied laser power. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , the application of the present invention can grow a double-clad crystal fiber ofcore diameter 5±25 μm. Reducing core diameter to below 5 μm has the benefits of: (a) reducing the number of modes and lowering transmission loss, and (b) improving the conversion efficiency of Cr:YAG crystal fiber in spontaneous emission to amplify light source. Further, when fused with glass fiber, it greatly reduces insertion loss due to a different core sectional area. In general, Cr:YAG double-clad crystal fiber can be used for making high-efficiency, low transmission loss spontaneous emission optical amplifier for all-optical network.
