It can be seen from the above examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 2 that the technical solution of the present invention is mainly to improve the effectiveness of doping of the gain element, and the effective doping of the gain element can be significantly reflected in the aspect of the loss of the optical fiber. However, under the condition of no alumina nano powder, a cobweb-shaped continuous glass structure cannot be formed, and the doping rate is reduced. Comparing comparative example 1 and comparative example 2, it can be seen that the phosphoric acid treatment is not a treatment directly beneficial to improving the doping effect of the silica optical fiber preform, but needs to be matched with the common mixing of the alumina nano powder.
Therefore, for the technical scheme of the invention, the common blending of the alumina nano powder and the silica nano powder is a key influencing factor influencing the technical effect of the invention. After the usage amount of the alumina nano powder reaches 0.00250 wt% of that of the silica nano powder, a small amount of fine cracks appear on the surface of the obtained precursor rod, which results in the reduction of the quality of the quartz optical fiber preform rod product, and when the usage amount of the alumina nano powder is further increased, the preparation of the preform rod can not be effectively realized easily.
