    摘要: Disclosed is a small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber, which relates to the field of special optical fibers. The small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber comprises a quartz optical fiber (5); the periphery thereof is provided with an inner coating (6) and an outer coating (8); the interior of the quartz optical fiber (5) is provided with an optical fiber core layer (1) and a quartz cladding (2); two stress zones (4) are arranged between the optical fiber core layer (1) and the quartz cladding (2); a buffer coating (7) is arranged between the inner coating (6) and the outer coating (8); the periphery of each stress zone (4) is provided with a buffer layer (3) which is concentric with the stress zone (4); when a working wavelength of a small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber is 1310 nm, the attenuation thereof reaches less than 0.5 dB/km, and the crosstalk reaches −35 dB/km; and when the working wavelength of the small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber is 1550 nm, the attenuation thereof reaches less than 0.4 dB/km, and the crosstalk reaches −30 dB/km. The optical fiber not only has excellent stability characteristics of attenuation and crosstalk, but also has the excellent stability characteristic of long-term operation, and can provide a better optical fiber ring for research on a high-precision optical fiber gyroscope, thereby laying the foundation for the development directions of miniaturization and high precision of the optical fiber gyroscope.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an elliptical cladding polarization-maintaining large-mode-area gain fiber, structurally comprising a core of the elliptical cladding polarization-maintaining large-mode-area gain fiber, an inner cladding, an elliptical stress layer, a first outer cladding, a second outer cladding and a third outer cladding, wherein the inner cladding surrounds the core; the elliptical stress layer surrounds the inner cladding, and has an elliptical cross-sectional shape; the first outer cladding surrounds the elliptical stress layer; the second outer cladding surrounds the first outer cladding; and the third outer cladding surrounds the second outer cladding. As the birefringence of the elliptical cladding polarization-maintaining fiber is directly proportional to the ellipticity and the deposition of a stress-applying area occurs during the preform rod forming process, procedures of preform drilling and the like are eliminated, and the likelihood of preform contamination is greatly reduced. The optical loss and strength of the fiber can hence be improved, and the entire manufacturing process is simplified. Furthermore, the birefringence and the pump absorption of the fiber can also be improved.

    摘要: An optical fiber is provided. The optical fiber includes a core located at the center of the optical fiber and having a maximum refractive index in the optical fiber, and a cladding located at a circumference of the core and having a refractive index lower than that of the core. The core has a structure in which sub-core areas having the refractive index higher than those of adjacent sub-core areas and sub-core areas having the refractive index lower than those of adjacent sub-core areas are alternately repeated.
