Abstract

Nanoparticle-doped optical fibers have experienced significant advancements in recent years, driven by their numerous applications. Nanoparticles (NPs) enable the isolation of luminescent ions from the silica matrix allowing precise engineering of luminescence properties. Additionally, light scattering induced by nanoparticles can also be exploited to develop sensors. The effectiveness of these applications relies on the ability to control the nanoparticle characteristics within the fiber. This study highlights the use of pre-synthesized zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) nanocrystals as dopant with a particular focus on their characterization at every stage of the manufacturing process. The findings highlight the survival of ZrO₂ nanocrystals throughout the entire process, from the preform to the as-drawn fiber, demonstrating the robustness and potential of this approach.

结合预合成ZrO2纳米颗粒的MCVD工艺增强光纤制造

近年来，掺纳米粒子的光纤在众多应用的推动下取得了长足的进步。纳米粒子（NPs）可将发光离子从二氧化硅基体中分离出来，从而实现发光特性的精确工程设计。此外，还可以利用纳米粒子诱导的光散射来开发传感器。这些应用的有效性取决于控制纤维内纳米粒子特性的能力。本研究强调使用预合成的氧化锆（ZrO2）纳米晶体作为掺杂剂，并特别关注其在制造过程各个阶段的特性。研究结果表明，ZrO2 纳米晶体在从预成型到拉伸纤维的整个过程中都能存活，这证明了这种方法的稳健性和潜力。
