摘要:
There are provided an optical fiber rod overcladding apparatus and method, and an optical fiber drawing method. In the preform rod overcladding method, a preform rod is clamped in a top chuck and leveled, and a glass tube is mounted in a bottom chuck and leveled. The preform rod is coaxially inserted into a glass tube. Then, the glass tube is preheated by the furnace and heated by the burner until the glass tube reaches a softening point. The preform rod is completely sealed in the glass tube by sucking air in a clearance between the preform rod and the glass tube by application of a negative vacuum pressure. Thus, a preform is completed.

An optical fiber for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) communications, includes: an inner core having a predetermined refractive index, formed to a first predetermined radius from a central axis of the optical fiber, an outer core having a refractive index which is lower than the refractive index of the inner core and gets linearly smaller from its inner side to its outer side, formed on an outer side of the inner core to have a second predetermined radius, and a cladding formed on an outer side of the outer core to have a third predetermined radius.

The present invention relates to a hybrid photonic crystal fiber, into the core of which a functional material is injected. The hybrid photonic crystal fiber of the present invention comprises: a central hole having a diameter of 4 to 15 μm extending in the longitudinal direction; an inner cladding also formed in the longitudinal direction outside the central hole, having a hexagonal arrangement of air holes, each of which has a diameter of 2 to 5 μm and a lattice constant of 4.5 to 7 μm; an annular outer cladding surrounding the outer surface of the inner cladding; and a core formed by filling a functional material in some of the air holes including the central hole. According to the present invention, changes in the state, i.e. the liquid, liquid-crystal, or biofluid states, of the functional material that fills the core that has a variety of shapes may enable the modulation of light intensity, wavelength, phase, and polarization, and thus enable various photonic networks to be produced. The hybrid photonic crystal fiber of the present invention may serve as various optical sensors capable of sensing changes in refractive index caused by external stresses such as temperature and pressure. The hybrid photonic crystal fiber of the present invention may be used as a light source for a fluorescent dye laser for a visible ray zone using fluorescent dye, or for an ultra-wideband laser of 700 nm or higher using high nonlinear liquid.
