Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber manufacturing, and particularly relates to a wiredrawing optical fiber twisting control device, a control method and a multimode optical fiber, which can optimize the residual stress of the optical fiber and the out-of-roundness of a fiber core and realize the improvement of the bandwidth of the multimode optical fiber.

Background

In recent years, multimode optical fiber has become a high-quality solution for short-distance and high-speed transmission networks due to its advantage of low system cost, and has been widely applied in the fields of large-scale data centers, local office centers, high-performance computing centers, storage area networks and the like. With the widespread commercial use of 100Gb/s rates and the steady evolution of the transition to 400Gb/s, the need for high quality, high bandwidth performance multimode optical fibers is increasing.

The optical fiber preform required for producing the multimode optical fiber is prepared by adopting a Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD) process. Introducing high-purity SiCl reactant into a high-purity quartz glass tube in a holding furnace with the temperature of about 1000-1300 ℃ through a certain way4、O2And a dopant GeCl4The high-frequency microwave provided by the microwave source resonant cavity is utilized to activate gas to ionize and form plasma so as to carry out chemical reaction and vapor deposition, and a transparent quartz glass deposition layer is formed. The reaction formula of the multimode optical fiber core rod is as follows:

SiCl4+O2=SiO2+2Cl2,GeCl4+O2=GeO2+2Cl2

and carrying out fusion shrinkage through a graphite fusion furnace to prepare the deposited quartz glass tube into a solid multi-mold core rod. Then, the multimode core rod is cleaned, corroded, dried and then combined with the matched sleeve to form a multimode optical fiber preform, and the preform is drawn into an optical fiber through a wire drawing device.

In the process of drawing the prefabricated member into the optical fiber, the multimode optical fiber with high bandwidth performance is obtained by regulating and controlling the stress distribution and the out-of-roundness of the fiber core in the process of drawing the optical fiber. The bandwidth performance refers to the optical fiber full injection bandwidth (OFLBandwidth), and is measured by the FOTP-204 standard test method specified in TIA. The effective mode Bandwidth (effective mode Bandwidth) is measured by adopting an IEC 60793-1-49 method.

The core out-of-roundness is expressed as follows:

Ncore=(dcore-max-dcore-min)/dcore

Ncore: indicating core out-of-roundness;

dcore-max: represents the diameter of a circumscribed circle made by the boundary of the fiber core;

dcore-min: diameter of inscribed circle representing core boundary

dcore: the core diameter is indicated.

When the optical fiber prefabricated member is drawn into an optical fiber, the optical fiber prefabricated member is heated to 1500-2000 ℃ in a graphite induction heating furnace, a molten state diameter-changing area is formed at the lower end of the prefabricated member, the optical fiber is drawn under the action of gravity and traction force, and then the optical fiber is annealed in a heat preservation furnace (annealing temperature: 900-1200 ℃), cooled by a cooling pipe He, coated with a protective layer of polyacrylic resin (coating temperature: 20-75 ℃), solidified by a solidification device, provided with a limiting wheel and a traction wheel, and then conveyed to a fiber collecting device by a guide wheel set. In the process of drawing the prefabricated member into the optical fiber, the optical fiber is contacted with gear trains such as a limiting wheel, a traction wheel, a guide wheel set and the like at a high drawing speed (500 m/min-2000 m/min), and the gear trains rotate rapidly along with the optical fiber passing at a high speed. Practice shows that the optical fiber forms continuous unidirectional spin in the contact process with the wheel train, wherein the unidirectional spin refers to that the optical fiber is continuously measured in a unit of 1m from a top view angle, and the optical fiber rotates in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction. The rotating force generated by the continuous unidirectional spinning is transmitted to a lower diameter-changing area of the prefabricated part in a molten state in a graphite induction heating furnace through a non-contact optical fiber drawing channel above a wheel train along the optical fiber drawing direction, the lower part of the diameter-changing area of the prefabricated part can be deformed under the action of the additional rotating force by the diameter-changing area, particularly the deformation of a cone part is intensified, the geometric out-of-roundness of a fiber core is intensified, the residual stress of a formed optical fiber is increased, the distortion of the outer edges of the fiber core and the core layer of the optical fiber is intensified, the deviation between the refractive index distribution of the drawn multimode optical fiber and the designed refractive index of the multimode optical fiber is caused, the refractive index distribution of the multimode optical fiber is.

The invention provides a wiredrawing optical fiber twisting control device and a wiredrawing optical fiber twisting control method for optimizing the residual stress of an optical fiber and the out-of-roundness of a fiber core, which not only can effectively release and optimize the residual stress, but also can reduce the out-of-roundness of the fiber core, improve the uniformity of the fiber core, and avoid the edge distortion of the core layer caused by the refractive index deviation of the core layer and the unstable residual stress, thereby improving the bandwidth of a multimode optical fiber.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a conventional apparatus for producing a core rod by PCVD and a reactant supply. The conventional reaction gas is introduced into a reaction gas control device 5 (which is a thermostat) through control valves 1 and 2, and a gas reactant (e.g., GeCl)4) The flow control is smoothly performed by a flow controller 4(MFC), and the rest of the reactants are performed by a flow controller 3 (MFC)1) And controlling, enabling the later mixed gas reactants to enter a holding furnace 12 and a high-purity quartz glass tube 8 through a gas end rotary chuck device 7 and an extension tube 6, further heating, reacting in a reciprocating high-speed running high-frequency resonance cavity 9 to generate a glass deposition layer on the inner wall of the high-purity quartz glass tube, pumping out reaction tail gas from a pump end extension tube 11 and a pump end rotary chuck device 10, and carrying out melt-shrinkage on the deposited core rod to prepare the optical fiber preform.

In fig. 6, an optical fiber preform 14 is drawn into an optical fiber 17, the optical fiber 17 is annealed and cooled by an annealing furnace 15 and a cooling device 16, and stress relief is performed, then two protective layers are coated in coating devices 18 and 19, the protective coatings are cured by curing devices 20 and 21, and then the optical fiber 17 is wound onto a fiber collecting drum 24 through a guide wheel 23, an optical fiber twisting control device 25 and a traction wheel 22.

In general, in order to ensure a better graded refractive index distribution when a core rod is deposited on a core layer during deposition of a PCVD process, the opening and closing degree of a valve of a flow controller 4(MFC) is controlled by a PLC and a sensor to control the flow rate of a reactant when the core rod is deposited on the core layer, and in order to match the refractive index distribution of the edge of the core layer and the center of the core layer, the range of the flow controller 4(MFC) is 210sccm to meet the requirement of a higher refractive index at the center of the core layer under the conventional condition.
