Description

Clamp and clamping method for improving geometric accuracy of polarization maintaining optical fiber preform
Technical Field
The invention relates to a clamp for manufacturing a polarization maintaining optical fiber preform, in particular to a clamp for improving geometric accuracy of the polarization maintaining optical fiber preform and a clamping method.
Background
Polarization maintaining optical fibers are widely applied to various fields of national economy such as aerospace, aviation, navigation, industrial manufacturing technology and communication. In an interference type optical fiber sensor based on optical coherent detection, a polarization maintaining optical fiber is used to ensure that the linear polarization direction is unchanged and improve the coherent signal to noise ratio so as to realize high-precision measurement of physical quantity. The polarization maintaining fiber is used as a special fiber and is mainly applied to a fiber-optic gyroscope system.
The key performance index of the polarization maintaining optical fiber is that the polarization maintaining optical fiber ensures that linearly polarized light keeps a polarization state in the transmission process, and the performance index is mainly embodied in the polarization crosstalk index and the beat length index of the polarization maintaining optical fiber. The lower the value of polarization crosstalk (which is a negative value), the better the polarization maintaining performance of the polarization maintaining fiber. The unit of beat length is millimeter, and a smaller value indicates that the polarization maintaining performance of the polarization maintaining fiber is more excellent.
The mainstream polarization maintaining fiber at present mainly adopts a circular symmetrical structure, namely boron doped stress bars are symmetrically arranged at two sides of the core part of the single-mode preform rod, so that the effect of stress application is achieved. Therefore, the boron-doped stress preform plays a decisive role in improving the polarization maintaining performance of the polarization maintaining fiber. While the main performance indexes of the boron-doped stress preform include the size (core diameter) and doping concentration (relative refractive index difference) of the boron-doped region. In principle, the boron doped stress rod is mainly used for realizing polarization performance maintenance according to the fact that a huge thermal expansion coefficient difference exists between boron oxide and silicon dioxide. The difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the two presents great difficulties in the fabrication process of the stress preform. As this would result in the boron doped stress rod being very susceptible to insufficient vitrification and cracking during fabrication. The flatness and roundness of the quartz substrate tube from which the preform is made directly determine the likelihood of failure to vitrify and burst during deposition of the boron-doped stress preform. Therefore, the manufacturing process of the boron-doped stress preform is highly dependent on the flatness and roundness of the quartz substrate tube.
