    Abstract: A low-loss few-mode fiber relates to the technical field of optical communications and related sensing devices, and includes, from inside to outside, a core layer (1), a fluorine-doped quartz inner cladding (2), a fluorine-doped quartz second core layer (3), a fluorine-doped quartz depressed cladding (4) and a fluorine-doped quartz outer cladding (5); germanium element is not doped within the core layer (1), the refractive index of the core layer (1) is in gradient distribution, and the distribution is a power-exponent distribution; the maximum value of difference in relative refractive index between the core layer (1) and the fluorine-doped quartz inner cladding (2) is 0.3% to 0.9%; the relative refractive index difference of the fluorine-doped quartz inner cladding (2) with respect to synthetic quartz is −0.3% to −0.5%; the difference in relative refractive index between the fluorine-doped quartz second core layer (3) and the fluorine-doped quartz inner cladding (2) is 0.05% to 0.2%; the difference in relative refractive index between the fluorine-doped quartz depressed cladding (4) and the fluorine-doped quartz inner cladding (2) is −0.1% to −0.5%; the relative refractive index difference of the fluorine-doped quartz outer cladding (5) with respect to synthetic quartz is −0.3% to −0.5%. The transmission loss of optical signals of the linear polarization modes that are supported by the few-mode fiber and the relay cost are reduced.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber, which relates to the field of special optical fibers. The small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber comprises a quartz optical fiber (5); the periphery thereof is provided with an inner coating (6) and an outer coating (8); the interior of the quartz optical fiber (5) is provided with an optical fiber core layer (1) and a quartz cladding (2); two stress zones (4) are arranged between the optical fiber core layer (1) and the quartz cladding (2); a buffer coating (7) is arranged between the inner coating (6) and the outer coating (8); the periphery of each stress zone (4) is provided with a buffer layer (3) which is concentric with the stress zone (4); when a working wavelength of a small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber is 1310 nm, the attenuation thereof reaches less than 0.5 dB/km, and the crosstalk reaches −35 dB/km; and when the working wavelength of the small-diameter polarization maintaining optical fiber is 1550 nm, the attenuation thereof reaches less than 0.4 dB/km, and the crosstalk reaches −30 dB/km. The optical fiber not only has excellent stability characteristics of attenuation and crosstalk, but also has the excellent stability characteristic of long-term operation, and can provide a better optical fiber ring for research on a high-precision optical fiber gyroscope, thereby laying the foundation for the development directions of miniaturization and high precision of the optical fiber gyroscope.
