Background technology
Stimulated Brillouin scattering is a kind of non-linear process that in optical fiber, takes place, and its needed incident power is far below the needed incident power of stimulated Raman scattering.In case reach the Brillouin scattering threshold value, stimulated Brillouin scattering will convert most input powers into reverse stokes wave [Govind P.Agrawal, Nonlinear Fiber Optics, Third Edition, San Diego, CA:Academic].Obviously, stimulated Brillouin scattering has limited the maximum power that optical fiber can transmit.In addition, if stimulated Brillouin scattering can not be suppressed fully, will cause the change at random of pump power, thereby cause corresponding signal noise, reduce quality of signals.
At present, the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold value that improves in the optical fiber mainly contains following several kinds:
1) makes optical fiber, make in the optical fiber residual stress to suppress the stimulated Brillouin scattering in the optical fiber.When cadmium optical fiber was mixed in making, suffered stress suppressed the stimulated Brillouin scattering in the Transmission Fibers to people such as Jane Bilecky Clayton when drawing in the modulation optical fiber in U.S. Pat 005851259A.People such as Alan Frank Evans at U.S. Pat 006542683B1 when making optical fiber; Realize that through the glassy layer that alternately changes phosphorous and fluorine alloy fibre core has non-homogeneous viscosity and distributes with CTE, thus make residue in the optical fiber, forever, unequal stress; When drawing optical fiber, receive and experience big temperature gradient and cooling fast after drawing optical fibers tension force and optical fiber leave smelting furnace, thereby strengthened the excited Brillouin depression effect that unequal stress provides.This method mainly is fit to non-single-mode transmission optical fiber of mixing rare earth.
2) frequency of sound wave that changes in the optical fiber changes along with the variation of fiber lengths, realizes broadening brillouin gain bandwidth.
Change in the optical fiber frequency of sound wave can through change the sandwich layer radius with fiber lengths changes [K.Shiraki, M.Ohashi, and M.Tateda; " Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in a fibre by changing the core radius, " Electron.Lett.vol.31, no.8; pp.668-669, April.1995] or change the sandwich layer doping content with fiber lengths change [K.Tsujikawa, K.Nakajima; Y.Miyajima, and M.Ohashi, " New SBS suppression fiber with uniform chromatic dispersion to enhance four-wave mixing; " IEEE photon.Technol.Lett., vol.10, no.8; Pp.1139-1141, Aug.1998] realize.Obviously, these two kinds of methods all relate to the design again to optical fiber structure, and therefore, the frequency of sound wave in can't flexible optical fiber is to improve the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold value in the optical fiber.
The frequency of sound wave that changes in the optical fiber also can change realization with fiber lengths through changing temperature.People such as Y.Imai are at document [" Dependence of stimulated Brillouin scattering on temperature distribution in polarization-maintaining fibers; " IEEEPhoton.Technol.Lett.; Vol.5, no.11, pp.1335-1337; Nov.1993] in poor through increasing in the fiber reel difference fiber optic temperature, realize improving the purpose of optical fiber stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold value.This method can't apply the effect of power to optical fiber, and mainly is fit to non-single-mode transmission optical fiber of mixing rare earth.
The frequency of sound wave that changes in the optical fiber also can change realization with fiber lengths through changing pressure distribution.People such as Joshua E.Rothenberg are at document [" Suppression of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Single-Frequency Multi-Kilowatt Fiber Amplifiers "; Proc.of SPIEVol.6873; 68730O; (2008)] and among U.S. Pat 2007/0019918 and the international monopoly WO2007/055754 optical fiber is embedded in circular or the oval-shaped rotating disk; Make the axes of inertia of optical fiber and elasticity rotating disk have skew, the elasticity rotating disk is exerted pressure, the tensile force or the compression stress that optical fiber are received be directly proportional with axes of inertia deviation post.People such as Joshua E.Rothenberg point out also and can optical fiber be embedded in the oval beam that utilization is reversed, and oval beam is applied compression stress, realize same effect.This method need be embedded into optical fiber in elasticity rotating disk or the oval beam, and optical fiber surface can not receive any pressure with the transverse cross-section parallel direction, realizes that technological requirement is high, in case and after optical fiber embeds, can not reuse, increased use cost.
One Chinese patent application number: the 201010104948.3 pairs of fiber lengths are that 50 meters monomode fiber applies negative temperature gradient and longitudinal pressure simultaneously or applies positive temperature gradient and longitudinal tension force simultaneously, realize suppressing the purpose of the stimulated Brillouin scattering in the narrow band fiber Raman amplifier; Yet do not provide concrete rational technique means in this patent application.People such as Peter Krummrich propose Transmission Fibers is divided into several sections in U.S. Pat 2001/0019642 A1 and Deutsche Bundespatent 19961514 A1, and each part is carried out mechanical connection so that the adjacent part sound wave is not coupled; Perhaps optical fiber is vertically applied heterogeneity machinery pulling force, form the different fibers grid, with the phase relation of disturbance light wave and sound wave or reverse light wave and sound wave.This method mainly is fit to Transmission Fibers, does not also provide the concrete mechanical pulling force technological means that on optical fiber, acts in the patent.
One Chinese patent application number 200910237785.3 methods through ring dish, left outer shroud dish and right outer shroud dish in the design; Solve in the U.S. Pat 2007/0019918 optical fiber surface that occurs easily and received the pressure situation with the transverse cross-section parallel direction easily, and the optical fiber problem that is difficult to reuse.Because interior ring dish outer surface is oval, on oblong surface, engraves the exigent helicla flute of precision and surface roughness, technological requirement is very high.One Chinese patent application numbers 200910238723.4 has provided a kind of multi-dimensional regulation device that is used for fiber grating or optical fiber stimulated Brillouin scattering; The inside thread processing of the spring steel screwed pipe in this device; Technological requirement is very high with patent 200910237785.3 the same requirements, and optical fiber how to be placed in the helicla flute also be the technological difficulties that realize.One Chinese patent application numbers 200920350821.2 is designed to circle with interior ring dish outer surface; Solved the difficult problem of technologic realization, its shortcoming is that adjustable range is little in the opening two ends distance of regulating the opening outer shroud; And; In the outer surface of ring be circular, the pressure in easily the opening outer shroud being acted on outside the ring is uniformly dispersed, be unfavorable for realizing optical fiber with the cross section vertical direction on big stretching or compression variation.
