摘要

综述了两类新型光纤的最新研究进展，主要包括掺铋、铝、铈等元素的二氧化硅光纤和微结构多芯光纤。作为掺杂特殊元素的光纤，铋铝共掺杂二氧化硅光纤的荧光光谱波长为1000到1400 nm，半高宽（FWHM）约为150 nm，可用于光纤放大器和激光系统。铈掺杂光纤的激发和发射中心波长分别约为340和430 nm。在纤芯中掺杂高浓度氧化铝的蓝宝石衍生光纤（SDF）经电弧放电加热、冷却处理后可形成莫来石。SDF可进一步开发为能承受1200°C高温的法布里-珀罗干涉仪，用于高温传感。由于强消逝场，微结构多芯光纤被广泛应用于生物光纤传感、化学测量等领域。同轴芯光纤是一种具有两个同轴双波导纤芯的新型光纤。将光纤端制备成锥状，能产生紧致聚焦光场，可应用于光学捕获和微粒操纵。本文讨论了这些新型光纤的研究进展。

Abstract

We have summarized our recent work in the area of novel silica-based optical fibers

which can be classified into two types: silica optical fiber doped with special elements including Bi

and Ce

and micro-structured multi-core fibers. For element-doped optical fiber

the Bi/Al co-doped silica fibers could exhibit a fluorescence spectrum covering the wavelength range between 1000 and 1400 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 150 nm

which enables its use in fiber amplifiers and laser systems. The Ce-doped fiber's center wavelengths of excitation and emission are about 340 and 430 nm

respectively. The sapphire-derived fiber (SDF) with high alumina dopant concentration in the core can form mullite through heating and cooling with arc-discharge treatment. This SDF can be further developed for an intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric that can withstand 1200 ℃

which allows it to be used in high-temperature sensing applications. Owing to the strong evanescent field

micro-structured multi-core fiber can be used in a wide range of applications in biological fiber optic sensing

chemical measurement

and interference-related devices. Coaxial-core optical fiber is another novel kind of silica-based optical fiber that has two coaxial waveguide cores and can be used for optical trapping and micro-particle manipulation by generating a highly focused conical optical field. The recent developments of these novel fibers are discussed.
