将纳米技术和光纤技术相结合,对研制出的纳米级InP薄膜内包层光纤进行光放大性能的测试,测试结果表明该光纤在很短的长度上具有比较好的放大性能,单位长度放大系数在906-1044nm的波段上为1.40-5.12dB/m,在1080-1491nm的波段上为1.40-15.35dB/m,在1524-1596nm的波段上为1.86-7.44dB/m。根据氢原子模型计算了InP微粒产生量子尺寸效应的相对粒径αB=8.313nm,以及纳米级InP微粒的粒径与能级改变的关系得到,当厚度d=16nm,△E=0.071eV,满足当d≤2aB时的强限域,量子尺寸效应明显,光纤具有光放大性,计算结果与实验测试结果相符。
Optical amplified characteristic of inner cladding fiber with InP thin-film is tested. The results indicate that this fiber has better optical amplification characteristic in short length. Amplification coefficients of per-length are 1.40-5.12 dB/m from 906 to1044 nm wave band, 1.40-15.35 dB/m from 1080 to 1491 nm wave band, and 1.86-7.44 dB/m from 1524 to 1596nm wave band. Based on hydrogen atomic model, we theoretically calculate the comparative size of the nano-scale InP mote aB = 8.313nm which has the quantum size effect. Through calculating the relationship between the nano-scale InP mote's radius and the change of energy band, when the thickness of film d= 16nm, the comparative size as, we gain the △E=0.071eV. Satisfying the d≤2aB condition, the quantum size effect is evident and the fiber has the optical amplified characteristic. The calculated results are matching well with the test.
