论文摘要
纳米级光纤布拉格光栅（FBG）的制造是光纤的关键制造过程之一，该过程在数据通信和分布式遥感方面具有许多重要的应用，距离数百公里。但是，FBG的制造具有挑战性。为了满足这种需求，我们提出了一种新的方法，使用具有纳米级金/Si光栅的高升级同步加速器X射线编写FBG，以调节X射线通量，从而改变光纤的折射率对比度以形成FBGS。在Argonne国家实验室（ANL）的纳米级材料中心（CNM）制造了具有高纵横比的纳米级黄金/SI，并且在ANL的高级光子源（APS）进行了光纤FBGS的X射线撰写的初步实验。初步实验显示了光纤FBG的X射线写作方法的有希望的结果。
Fabrication of nanoscale optical Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) is one of the key manufacturing processes for fiber optics, which has many important applications in data communication and distributed remote sensing at a distance up to hundreds of kms. However, the fabrication of the FBGs is challenging. To meet such need, we propose a novel method to write the FBGs using high-flux synchrotron x-ray with a nanoscale gold/Si gratings to modulate the x-ray flux and thus change the refractive index contrast of the optical fiber to form the FBGs. The nanoscale gold/Si with high aspect ratio has been fabricated at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the preliminary experiment of x-ray writing of the optical fiber FBGs has been carried out at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of ANL. The preliminary experiment shows promising result of the x-ray writing method of the optical fiber FBGs.
