Patent number: 11614581Abstract: A polarization-maintaining multi-core fiber includes a plurality of fiber core areas and a main outer cladding. The fiber core areas include one central fiber core area, and two or more than two outer fiber core areas equidistantly and uniformly arranged around the central fiber core area that is a polarization-maintaining fiber core area. Each outer fiber core area includes a fiber core and an inner cladding surrounding a core layer. A portion outside the fiber core areas is the main outer cladding. The fiber can greatly enhance spectral efficiency of an optical transmission system, and improve fiber communication capacity. The arrangement of the polarization-maintaining fiber core area provides a waveguide structure with a function of maintaining polarized light, which can be used for transmission of local light.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: YANGTZE OPTICAL FIBRE AND CABLE JOINT STOCK LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Xinben Zhang, Ming Tang, Chen Yang, Yue Meng, Kun Yang, Shen Peng, Chi Zhang, Weijun Tong

Patent number: 10823911Abstract: An anti-cracking panda-type polarization-maintaining optical fiber includes a cladding layer, stress layers, and a fiber core. The fiber core is located in the center of the cladding layer. The stress layers are located symmetrically at two sides of the fiber core with a distance away from the fiber core and are located within the cladding layer. Each stress layer is enclosed at edges of their outer sides by a transition layer with a gradient refractive index. By providing the transition layer with the gradient refractive index at the edge of the outer side of the stress layer, the pressure stress at the edge of the stress layer is decomposed and released, so as to avoid cracks at the edge of the polished stress layer on the end of the optical fiber, and thus optimizes the performance of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber by decreasing the room temperature polishing cracking rate.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: YANGTZE OPTICAL FIBRE AND CABLE JOINT STOCK LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Kun Yang, Weijun Tong, Beibei Cao, Wu Yang, Gaoqing Lei, Xinben Zhang, Zhendong Wang, Wei Zheng, Yilin Tong

Publication number: 20040232571Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing low PMD single-mode fiber and a fiber manufactured by said method. The twisting system is mounted at the downstream side of a normal fiber-drawing tower. The manner of twisting does not change the fiber-drawing path, the axis of twisting wheels periodically swing in a plane which is parallel to the fiber-drawing direction. The fiber moving at high speed makes the outer surfaces of the twisting wheels to rotate round the axis of the fiber, when an angle between the plane in which the twisting wheels are located and the fiber-drawing direction exists, the component of the angular velocity in the radial direction of the fiber reacts on the fiber and makes the fiber to twist, and the twist propagates to the soften region of the glass material at the fiber-drawing upstream in the form of mechanical wave, a plastic deformation is produced and set up in the newly drawn fiber.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2004Publication date: November 25, 2004Inventors: Weijun Tong, Zhenbao He, Shuqiang Zhang, Jie Luo
