低损耗与近零平坦色散双导模光子晶体光纤研究

Study of low loss and near-zero flat dispersion dual guided mode photonic crystal fiber

  • 摘要: 为了提高环形光子晶体光纤传输轨道角动量模式的数量、优化光纤传输过程中的模式色散和限制损耗,设计了一种具有近零平坦色散、低限制损耗的双导模环形光子晶体光纤,该光纤由6层折射率环辅助结构隔离内外导模区域,外包层区域设置了半径逐渐增大的3层空气孔。利用有限元法,通过改变高折射率环折射率和厚度、空气孔间距、空气孔的半径分析光纤的模式色散与限制损耗,确定了光子晶体光纤最佳结构。结果表明,最佳结构下,在1.5 μm~1.7 μm波段,双导模环形光子晶体光纤可以传输286+126种轨道角动量模式,内外导模区域模式有效折射率差值都大于2.81×10−4,模式色散在−3 ps/(nm·km)~3 ps/(nm·km)之间,模式限制损耗在2×10−9 dB/m~8×10−8 dB/m之间。该研究为提升光子晶体光纤通信容量和通信效率提供了理论参考。

     

    Abstract: In order to increase the number of orbital angular momentum(OAM) modes transmitted by a ring photonic crystal fiber and to optimize the mode dispersion and confinement loss during fiber transmission, a dual-conducting-mode ring photonic crystal fiber with near-zero flat dispersion and low confinement loss was designed in this paper. The fiber consisted of a six-layer refractive index ring auxiliary structure to isolate the inner and outer mode-conducting regions, and the outer cladding region was provided with three layers of air holes with gradually increasing radii. The finite element method was used to analyze the mode dispersion and confinement loss of the fiber by varying the refractive index and thickness of the high refractive index rings, the spacing of the air holes, and the radius of the air holes to determine the optimal structure. The results show that under the optical structure, in 1.5 μm~1.7 μm the dual-conducting-mode ring photonic crystal fiber can transmit 286+126 OAM modes, and the effective refractive index differences are all greater than 2.81×10−4 in both the inner and outer guiding-mode regions, the mode dispersion is in −3 ps/(nm·km)~3 ps/(nm·km), and the mode confinement loss is in 2×10−9 dB/m~8×10−8 dB/m. This study provides a theoretical reference for enhancing the communication capacity and communication efficiency of photonic crystal fiber.
