Abstract:

The temperature feld distribution of Ge core fber in the process of CO2 laser annealing is simulated by using COMSOL Multiphysics. The influences of laser power and fber moving velocity in axial direction on the temperature feld distribution in the laser heating zone are simulated. Accordingly, the proper laser powers corresponding to different moving velocities of fber are preliminarily obtained. For the Ge core fber with the inner diameter of 80 μm and outer diameter of 300 μm, the proper laser powers corresponding to the axial movement velocities of 4 mm/s, 8 mm/s, 12 mm/s, 16 mm/s and 20 mm/s are 1.5 W, 2.0 W, 2.5 W, 3.5 W, and 4.0 W, respectively. The simulation of the paper provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the performance of the Ge core fber by CO2 laser annealing.

Key words: laser power, CO2 laser, temperature feld distribution, Ge core fber, axis movement velocity of fber
