Vortex optical fiber based on linear refractive index distribution and preparation method thereof
(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical fiber and its technology of preparing, and in particular to a kind of vortex light based on linear refractive index distribution Fibre and preparation method thereof.
(2) background technology
One of vortex beams is noteworthy characterized by with orbital angular momentum (Physical Review A, 1992,45 (11): 8185-8189), therefore it is widely studied, and has been obtained greatly in communication, optical tweezer, Atomic Manipulation and microtechnic in recent years Using.The most common process for generating vortex beams is to use spatial light modulator (Optics Express, 2008,16 (21): 16984-16992), but spatial light modulator is generally bulky, expensive, and needs to realize light in free space Coupling, thus brings many inconvenience.
And the vortex photoproduction based on optical fiber grows up to be a useful person and then has more advantage on remote interaction and making tight type vortex optical device. Researchers use acoustics long-period gratings (Physical Review Letters, 2006,96 (4):43604) or utilize Induced pressure (Applied Optics, 1998,37 (3) in multimode fibre:469-472) realize vortex optical transport mould Formula.But Mode Coupling can destroy orbital angular momentum pattern in a fiber, so as to cause multipath interference.In most multimode light In fibre, TE/TM patterns and the HE needed21Pattern coexists, and so they can be generated linear by Mode Coupling in output terminal Polarization mode (LP patterns), LP patterns are not the real eigen mode of optical fiber, it can not carry orbital angular momentum.Therefore, Document (Optics Letters, 2012,37 (13):2451-2453) report using micro-bend grating to slacken high-order LP11Pattern Generation, and then input pattern is converted into required HE21Pattern, ultimately generates the vortex beams of high-purity.
United States Patent (USP) (US20080101754) and European patent (EP1705503B1) propose a kind of fiber core refractive index only With the gradient index fibre of azimuthal variation, this optical fiber can regard the space phase plate longitudinally extended as, utilize the optical fiber Vortex beams can be generated.Although the vortex beams maker structure is extremely simple, it is extremely difficult to prepare this optical fiber, Therefore the present invention is proposed reverses the novel scroll optical fiber formed, this vortex by the optical fiber hot melt of fiber core refractive index linear distribution Optical fiber is not only prepared and is easier, and can be vortexed at the same time in light intensity and phase.
(3) content of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a kind of vortex optical fiber for generating class vortex optical transmission mode and preparation method thereof.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
One of vortex beams is noteworthy characterized by with orbital angular momentum, and orbital angular momentum, optical fiber must be taken in order to obtain Band higher order pattern, for example, phase shift is two HE of ± pi/221Orbital angular momentum pattern can be achieved in the linear combination of pattern.By It is distributed in the fiber core refractive index of the vortex optical fiber of the present invention laterally linear, in longitudinal helically curve distribution, thus works as light When ripple is input to vortex optical fiber, it is poor that radial phase can be formed because of the difference of index distribution, so that conduction light wave obtains rail Road angular momentum, while the transmission that is vortexed is formed in light intensity and phase, realize class vortex optical transmission mode.
Compared with prior art, advantages of the present invention is:
1st, vortex optical fiber prepare it is simple, can directly by fiber core refractive index linear distribution optical fiber hot melt torsion form.
2nd, the refractive index Spiral distribution function of vortex optical fiber is finally can be achieved to generating whirlpool in preparation process Revolve the control of beam characteristics.
3rd, vortex optical fiber space pliability is fabulous, therefore can select to export in any suitable position and direction and be vortexed Light beam, easy in particulate manipulation and the application sensed.
