A Study of Radii of Curvature by Fusing Process and Improvement of Coupling Efficiency in Hyperbola Fiber MicrolensLin, Yong-Shian 15 August 2012 (has links)
This study is to improve the coupling efficiency between 980nm high-power pump laser diode and single-mode fiber. In this study, we use the third generation of fiber grinding machine which is designed by Cheng Shiu University, professor Ying-Chien Tsai. This machine is fully automatic. we use it to fabricate the hyperbola microlenses.
The advantages about hyperbola microlenses structure are a single-step fabrication, grinding steps to simplify, reduce the grinding time and will greatly reduce the offset of fiber. In the fusing procedure, the slight arc fusion was mainly applied for fine polishing merely instead of reshaping for the reason that the fabricated hyperbola fiber endface was very close to the ideal shape. The fabrication reproducibility and yield increase, and can reduce the cost of grinding.
The fiber end shape is similar to the math on the hyperboloid, and the length of the axis of the hyperboloid profile shows a hyperbola. By mathematical properties of hyperbola, we derivation the parameter of radius of curvature for hyperbola microlenses. The definition of the radius of curvature of the hyperbolic vertex and the mode field diameter (the MFD) = 4.2£gm point of intersection with the hyperbola, the characteristics of the formation of this three o'clock round the curvature is the radius of curvature we have said.
The radius of curvature (R) is a semi-consistent axial length (a) and two progressive line angle (£c) function, it means we can through the control of ¡§a¡¨ and £c to control the R, but £c is fixed after grinding process. So we choose control parameter ¡§a¡¨ by fusing process, via control ¡§a¡¨ to achieve the purpose of the control R.
By various fusing parameters to adjust the gain of ¡§a¡¨, we can control the R in an ideal 2.6-2.8£gm. This process indeed improves the coupling efficiency. This method gives a low offset of the fiber it easier for more than 80%. And larger offset of the fiber by this method can achieve to 70% even 80%.
