摘要：

使用钇铝石榴石(YAG)单晶芯棒和光学级石英管构成预制棒，基于管中熔体共拉法制备了钇铝硅酸盐(YAS)玻璃光纤，研究了拉丝过程中由于元素迁移形成的光纤纤芯附近的元素分布和折射率分布。结果表明，使用管中熔体共拉法制备的光纤为折射率渐变型光纤，芯包层折射率差Δn从预制棒的0.380变为光纤中的0.057。所获得的YAS光纤理论最大数值孔径为0.41，具有较高的耦合效率。这种光纤有潜力应用于自聚焦效应相关的领域。

Yttrium aluminum silicate (YAS) fiber was prepared by a “Melt-in-Tube” method with YAG single crystal and optical grade silica glass tube as a core and a clad to form a preform. The distribution of elements and the refractive index nearby the core of the YAS fiber were analyzed. The results indicate that the fiber prepared via element migration presents as a gradient refraction index profile, the refractive index difference (Δn) of the core-cladding is turned to be Δn=0.057 from Δn=0.380 preform. The maximum theoretical numerical aperture of the YAS fiber is 0.41, which means a high coupling efficiency. The obtained YAS fiber is a promising candidate for the application related to “self focusing” effect.
