POLARIZATION PLANE MAINTAINING OPTICAL FIBER AND FABRICATING METHOD THEREFOR |
摘要 |
Herein disclosed is an optical fiber having an intense ability to maintain the polarization plane, which is constructed of an optical waveguide having a circular core (1) and a circular cladding (2), a jacket (3) formed on the outer circumference of the optical waveguide which has an elliptical outer circumference, and a supporting portion (4) formed on the jacket.
<??>In order to fabricate the above-specified optical fiber, a preformed rod is prepared by forming the jacket and the optical waveguide on the inner wall of a silica glass tube using materials which satisfy the relationship c2/a >/= 200/(100- gamma )-1, wherein: letter gamma stands for the ellipticity of the outer circumference of the jacket: letter c2 stands for the minor axis of the ellipse; and letter a stands for the radius of the circular optical waveguide. Then the silica glass tube is collapsed by heating while keeping its internal pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure by 1 to 20 mmH2O. |
