摘要
介绍了在相位掩模板法制作光纤光栅的过程中,通过测量和调节光纤在拉直状态下所承受的拉力,从而精确控制光栅布拉格波长的光纤光栅制作方法。利用此方法,可使光纤光栅的波长制作误差控制在±0.05 nm以内,并利用一定周期的相位掩模板制作5 nm波长范围内的任意波长的光纤光栅,极大地提高了相位掩模板法制作技术的效率和灵活性。同时,提出了利用扫描曝光技术,在光纤光栅刻写过程中持续改变光纤拉力,制作啁啾光纤光栅的新方法。
Abstract
A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabrication method with phase mask to achieve accurate control of Bragg wavelength by measuring and adjusting the pulling force applied on a straightened fiber is introduced. The fabrication error of FBG Bragg wavelength is hold within ±0.05 nm, and FBGs with central wavelengths covering 5 nm range can be fabricated by using the same phase mask, which improves the efficiency and flexibility of the phase mask fabrication method greatly. Meantime, a novel chirped-FBG fabrication method with scanning exposure technology is put forward by varying the fiber tension during the fabrication procedure.
