什么是双光折射光纤?
双光折射光纤光纤是在光纤抽出预成型的时候旋转的工艺。这样可以将玻璃中的不统一性分布在各个方
向上。由此所有的偏振错误便会在传输过程中相互消减掉。
旋转光纤和普通保偏光纤有什么区别?
高双光折射光纤,例如熊猫和蝴蝶结型光纤只能保持线性的偏振光,而低双光折射旋转光纤既可以保持
线性偏振光也可以保持圆偏振光。也因为旋转光纤的一致性,所以当耦合光纤的时候不用进行准直。
旋转光纤在对接的时候是否需要像普通保偏光纤一样进行准直?
对旋转光纤来说,对应准确并不是非常重要的,所以在对接的时候不需要精确的准直。
为什么旋转光纤有很高的自生双光折射?
旋转光纤因为包层(或者椭圆芯)产生的压力所以有较高的内部低双光折射。这个较高的内部双光折射
会抵消其他压力或者弯曲产生的偏振错误,因为它的轴向是旋转的,因此一致性非常的好,所以不会产
生任何噪声给输出信号。
旋转光纤(spun)和Twist光纤有什么区别?
旋转光纤(SPUN)在抽出的过程中旋转而产生。所以在其中没有任何旋转产生的内部残留应力。Twist
光纤是在抽出之后开始旋转,虽然可以得到类似的保偏效果,但是因为光纤存在很强的内部残留应力,
所以会影响光纤的寿命。当然Twist光纤可以采用高温退火的处理来消除内部残留应力。
旋转光纤是否需要高温退火处理?
不用。光纤的高内部双光折射可以抵消何压力(应力)带来的负面效应。
旋转光纤的最小弯曲半径是多少?
旋转光纤的最小弯曲半径主要跟光纤的直径,拍长以及pitc 有关。5mm拍长一般弯曲最小半径大约为1cm。
旋转光纤可以做到多少的偏振测量精度?
在光纤的弯曲承受度和精确度之间存在一种平衡。短的拍长可以承受更高的弯曲,但是高的内部
双光折射会产生小的错误。长的拍长光纤会对弯曲更加敏感,但是会带来更多的精确度。
什么是Pitch?
Pitch(旋转周期)实质光纤的径向旋转周期。这个周期越短,平均性越好。
是否可以测量pitch? 通过旋光测定法不能准却的测定pitch。但是可以通过检测剥皮后的光纤利用目测的方式来大致测量
pitch。
旋转Spun光纤怎么进行分束,熔接,以及配合接头?
跟普通的通讯用光纤一样,旋转光纤可以进行分束,熔接,配合接头等处理。操作方法也一样。
是否提供连接头?
我们提供两端配有连接器的光纤。尅提供绝大多数常用连接器。
旋转光纤可否提供进行一些特殊的性能?
我们可以按照客户要求进行定制。我们可以改善如下几个参数: 拍长,特殊截至波长,包层以及衣层的
厚度。
Low birefringence fibers are optical fibers which can propagate optical radiation, preserving the state of polarization for long distances. Ideally this means that the fiber must have perfect geometry and be completely symmetrical along the optical axis. It must also be homogeneous along the axis. Any linear polarization can be represented by two linear polarizing modes orthogonal to each other. An ideal low birefringence fiber will propagate these two modes with identical velocity. In a real fiber there are a number of imperfections such as ellipticity, eccentricity, microbending, bending etc. Such imperfections lead to a difference in velocity between the two polarization modes of the fiber and hence a phase difference (retardance) between them.
Standard telecomm type fibers typically have a large retardance which accumulates with length. The LB series fibers have a very low retardance which is not a linear function of length.
These fibers have many uses, one of the most popular is fiber sensors. In a Faraday sensor, the fiber is wound in a coil and a conductor is passed through the coil. Polarized light in the fiber will have it's plane of polarization rotated in proportion to the current passing through the conductor.
The strength of the Faraday effect is determined by the Verdett constant which is about V=2.8 x 10-4 deg/ Oe cm for pure fused silica. It means that an axial magnetic field of 100 Oe acting on a straight 10m length of fibre will rotate the polarization axis about 30 degrees. Note that such rotation is almost insensitive to temperature changes for pure silica, but if attempts are made to increase the Verdett constant by doping silica with paramagnetic ions, there can be a big temperature dependence of retardance. We believe that pure silica low birefringence fibre is the optimal type for magnetic field sensors.
In some applications where polarized light must be transmitted, it is not always convenient to align the fiber with the plane of polarization of the input signal which is essential when using hibi fiber. In these situations lobi fiber can more conveniently be used
The type coating used on low birefringence fiber is important if the properties of the fiber are to be preserved. We use a special low stress coating which maintains the low birefringence properties of the fiber.
