    摘要: The specification describes a process and apparatus for monitoring and controlling the ellipticity of preform tubes during Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition. In response to computer generated signals from the monitoring device, the tube collapse rate is adjusted dynamically by locally changing the temperature of the glass tube, or by changing the physical force acting to collapse the tube.

    摘要: A cladding pumped optical fiber laser (40) comprises a length of optical fiber having a rare earth-doped region of diameter d RE > d 01 , where d 01 is the mode diameter of the LP 01 mode of the fiber at the laser radiation at wavelength λ. In one embodiment the fiber has a core diameter d c selected such that the LP 01 mode is the only guided spatial mode of the fiber, and d RE is greater than d c . In another embodiment the fiber supports at least one higher order guided spatial mode, typically LP 11 or LP 02 , and d RE is approximately equal to or larger than d c . Currently preferred embodiments comprise a grating-defined laser cavity that comprises a mode-coupling refractive index grating (45). Cladding pumped lasers according to the invention will typically have efficient conversion of pump radiation to laser radiation, and consequently can typically be shorter than analogous prior art cladding pumped lasers.

    摘要: In an optical fiber light source a section of multimode fiber (51) is interposed between an energizing laser (e.g., a diode laser (49)) and a single mode fiber active medium (43). In a preferred embodiment the single mode fiber active medium is surrounded by a multimode cladding (45) coupled to the multimode fiber. The source may serve as a pump laser for a fiber amplifier (30) or as an amplified spontaneous emission source. Arrangements for coupling several energizing lasers to the active medium are also described.

    摘要: Our method of making high bandwidth silica-based multimode optical fiber comprises provision of a non-circular preform, and drawing fiber of chiral structure from the preform. The non-circular preform can be made by maintaining the inside of the tubular preform under reduced pressure during at least part of the collapse, resulting in a non-circular core and cladding. It can also be made by removal (e.g., by grinding or plasma etching) of appropriate portions of the preform, resulting in a circular core and non-circular cladding. In the latter case, fiber is drawn at a relatively high temperature such that, due to surface tension, the cladding assumes substantially circular shape and the core assumes a non-circular shape. The chiral structure is imposed on the fiber in any appropriate way, e.g., by twisting during fiber drawing the fiber alternately in clockwise and couterclockwise sense relative to the preform.
