摘要
采用粉末烧结技术制备出高浓度镱铝共掺石英棒,Yb3+掺杂浓度为12 000 ppm(wt).利用此掺镱石英棒作为纤芯,拉制出镱铝共掺大模场光子晶体光纤,光纤模场面积为550 μm2,模场直径26 μm.实验结果表明:光纤在近红外波段(850~1 033 nm)出现一个宽的吸收带,主吸收峰波长位于976 nm,在此波长处吸收损耗高于10 dB/m;采用波长为971 nm的激光泵浦光纤,在1 050~1 125 nm波长范围内产生高斯型的荧光峰,峰值波长位于1 088 nm处,荧光半宽高45 nm.
Abstract
Based on powder sintering technology, Yb3+/Al3+ codoped silica rods are prepared, and the concentration of Yb3+ is up to 12 000 ppm (wt). Then, with the Yb3+/Al3+ codoped silica rods as core materials, highly doped Largemodearea Photonic Crystal Fibers (LMAPCF) are fabricated by stackdraw method. The mode area can reach 550 μm2, and the mode field diameter is 26 μm. The results indicate that the fiber has a broad absorption band in the near infrared wavelength (850~1 033 nm), and the main peak is at the wavelength of 976 nm where the absorption loss is higher than 10 dB/m; when the fiber is pumped by the laser with a wavelength of 971 nm, there exists a Gaussian fluorescence peak in the wavelength range of 1 150~1 125 nm, with a peak value of 1 088 nm and a halfline width of 45 nm.
