Description

double-D type optical fiber weak magnetic field sensor with double-helix structure and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optical fibers, in particular to a double-D type optical fiber weak magnetic field sensor with a double-spiral structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Optical fibers having special functions other than conventional optical communication fibers are generally referred to as "special optical fibers", and compared to conventional optical communication fibers, special optical fibers have unique designs in terms of structures, materials, manufacturing methods, and the like, so as to satisfy various special purposes, such as sensing applications. Such as making polarization-maintaining fiber for fiber optic gyroscopes based on the Sagnac effect; based on the Faraday effect, a magneto-optical fiber is used for the magnetic field sensor; based on an optical coherence technology, the bending-resistant optical fiber is used for the optical fiber hydrophone; based on the raman effect, multimode optical fibers are used for optical fiber temperature sensors and the like.
In the existing sensor manufactured based on the sagnac effect, one light beam is transmitted clockwise in the optical fiber ring, the other light beam is transmitted anticlockwise, the two light beams are transmitted along the same direction in the optical fiber ring, when the inertia system where the device is located is static, the optical paths of the two light beams in the optical fiber are the same, the mutual difference error is eliminated, and when the inertia system where the device is located has a certain rotation angular speed, the optical paths of the two light beams are different, so that the rotation angular speed can be measured according to the optical path difference.
The external magnetic field can cause the propagation constants of light propagating in the optical fiber in the positive and negative directions to be different, so that a non-reciprocal error is introduced, and the fact that the sensor manufactured based on the sagnac effect is sensitive to the external magnetic field is shown, but the sensor is sensitive to the rotation angular velocity, and the influence of the optical path difference caused by the angular velocity is far greater than the influence of the angular velocity caused by the external magnetic field, so that the external magnetic field information is submerged in the angular velocity information.
Adopt double helix structure, in double helix structure, two bundles of light that propagation direction is opposite all through once clockwise propagation and once anticlockwise propagation, introduce this kind of special propagation structure, can get rid of traditional sagnac device and be sensitive to angular velocity this characteristic for only contain by external magnetic field information in its measured information, simultaneously, double helix structure compares in traditional structure, can be when greatly increased optical fiber length, has reduced the area of coiling again, makes the device easily miniaturize.
The 3D printing technology can solve the problem that the conventional preparation method is difficult to control preparation parameters, such as the two-photon femtosecond laser direct writing 3D printing technology. Two-photon femtosecond laser direct writing 3D printing is based on a two-photon absorption principle, namely, one molecule of a substance absorbs two photons at the same time, the two-photon absorption is mainly generated at a super-strong laser focus generated by pulse laser, the laser intensity at other places on a light path is not enough to generate two-photon absorption, and the two-photon absorption method has the characteristics of good penetrability to materials, high space selectivity and the like because the used light wavelength is longer and the energy is lower, and the corresponding single-photon absorption process cannot be generated.
Different from the technology of direct printing in free space, the preparation of special optical fiber needs to print out the required structure in the hollow optical fiber, because the area to be printed is located in the hollow optical fiber, light beam needs to enter the area through the hollow optical fiber cladding, so refraction and reflection can occur, and the adoption of the direct printing method can cause that partial area can not receive the two-photon laser, and can seriously affect the transmission of optical signals.

The forward and reverse beams of light are transmitted along respective transmission directions and then transmitted in the reverse direction when transmitted in the double-D type optical fiber wound by the double-helix structure, so that errors caused by the fact that a traditional sensor based on the sagnac effect is sensitive to the angular speed are eliminated.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer profile of the double helix structure 8 is formed by winding hollow-core optical fibers, and the cross section of the hollow-core optical fibers is circular.
