本文研究了石英光纤中光纤熔丝（IFF）的引发条件，IFF是一种严重影响光纤性能的灾难性损伤。在IFF之前，在受控条件下对不同化学组成的纤维进行加工和测试，而没有机械损伤。对于IFF的所有光纤，第一次揭示了临界温度与其中传输的光功率之间的相同的相关性。不同化学成分的光纤在光纤熔丝传播阈值功率下对IFF的抵抗力不同。研究结果为预测光纤系统中的光纤熔断器提供了希望，有助于避免灾难性的损失。这些结果可以指导光纤生产工艺的优化以抑制损伤，并为光纤熔丝在光纤微结构制造中的可控利用开辟了新的途径。
We report an investigation of conditions for the initiation of fiber fuse (IFF), a kind of catastrophic damage that troubles all kinds of optical fibers, in silica-based optical fibers. The fibers of different chemical compositions were processed and tested in controlled conditions without mechanical damages before the IFF. For all the fibers of IFF, the same correlation between the critical temperatures and the optical powers transmitted therein was revealed for the first time. The fibers of different chemical compositions exhibited different resistances to the IFF under the threshold powers for propagation of fiber fuses. The results offered promise for predicting fiber fuses in optical fiber systems, which could facilitate avoiding catastrophic losses. They could direct the optimization of fiber production technologies for suppressing the damages, as well as open a new path towards controlled utilization of fiber fuse in in-fiber microstructure fabrication.
