摘　　要：多模光纤的布里渊传感技术因其能够同时进行温度、应变等多参量的模态传输,具备更高的信息容量和传输效率而备受关注.此外,铌酸锂材料凭借其优异的电光特性,在传感领域展现出潜在应用价值,有望提供更高灵敏度和精度.然而,受工艺成熟度影响,目前光纤传感的研究多集中于硅基材料,以铌酸锂为纤芯材料的研究相对较少,其应用潜力被普遍低估.本文针对铌酸锂光纤中的布里渊散射效应的理论研究,通过有限元仿真技术,模拟微米量级铌酸锂光纤中各阶数模式的后向布里渊散射特性,分析光纤中前5个LP模(LP_(01),LP_(11),LP_(21),LP_(02)和LP_(31))的模内受激布里渊散射特性,以探明铌酸锂微米光纤模态内后向布里渊散射特性.结果表明,铌酸锂光纤的有效折射率(2.1785—1.9797)、布里渊散射频移(20.63—18.747 GHz)以及增益(4.0115—13.503 m^(-1)·W^(-1))均随着模式阶数的增高而减小.模拟结果进一步表明,与普通硅结构光纤相比,铌酸锂光纤结构的布里渊增益有显著提高,预示其在传感方面的灵敏度也会更高.The Brillouin sensing technology in multimode optical fibers has received much attention due to its ability to simultaneously transmit multiple parameters,such as temperature and strain,and its higher information capacity and transmission efficiency.Additionally,lithium niobate possesses excellent electro-optical properties,so it shows potential application value in the sensing field and is expected to provide higher sensitivity and precision.Owing to the maturity of manufacturing processes,current research on fiber optic sensing focuses on silicon-based materials,however,there are fewer studies of fibers in which lithium niobate is used as the core material,thereby underestimating its application potential.In this work,the Brillouin scattering effects in lithium niobate optical fibers are investigated numerically.We simulate the intra-mode backward Brillouin scattering characteristics of the first five orders of LP modes in micrometer-sized lithium niobate fibers by means of finite-element simulation to explore its intrinsic law.First of all,the relationship between the Brillouin frequency shift and gain for the first five optical mode interactions is analyzed in detail.The results show that in the case of intra-mode backward stimulated Brillouin scattering,the peak of Brillouin frequency shift exhibits a significant redshift ranging from 20.63 GHz to 18.747 GHz.The Brillouin gain coefficient decreases from 13.503 m^(–1)·W^(–1) to 4.0115 m^(–1)·W^(–1) with the increase of mode order,in which mode LP01 having the strongest gain intra modal interaction means the best sensing sensitivity.In addition,compared with ordinary silica fiber,the lithium niobate fiber has Brillouin gain increased by about 5 orders of magnitude,which means that fibers with lithium niobate as the core can have higher sensing sensitivity.In addition,it is found that although there are significant differences in the Brillouin frequency shift values of each optical mode under intra modal interactions,the sound velocity of their corres
