摘要:
An optical fibre that use index-guidance formed with a low index cladding or a microstructured cladding using voids/holes or low index features (404) together with multiple high index resonant cladding features (1205, 1206). One to three resonant cross sectional extending structure act as a filter by resonantly coupling light out to part of the cladding (1202) or other structures (fx. a high index outer cladding ring) that acts as light sink(s) at one to three wavelength when using one to three materials or features with different size, shape, refractive index profile or normalized frequency parameter. The fibre can be asymmetrical. The fibre can be adapted for suppression of higher order modes (HOM) and/or guiding light in a narrow spectral wavelength range and act as a band pass filter. For enhancing out-coupling the high index features can be arranged along two intersecting lines tangentially positioned in relation to the core and along a line that extends from the core and intersects the tangentially positioned lines. Light absorbing material such as samarium can be used in the light sink. The fibre can be used in a fibre amplifier or fiber laser.

The invention relates to a preform and to a method for producing said preform for drawing a microstructured optical fiber, on which a core element (4) and a plurality sub-elements (5), which extend along the length of the preform, are arranged. In order to eliminate the high tendency to fracture during fusion and to ensure a fusion that is longitudinally stable and can be reproduced, according to the invention the sub-elements (5) and the core element (4) form a bundle (6) that is twisted at a specified angle around the longitudinal axis of the bundle (6a), wherein the pattern that is formed by the cross-sections of the sub-elements (5) and the cross-section of the core element (4) is maintained along the length of the preform (1), and subsequently, by heating beyond the transformation point of the materials thereof, is at least partially fused together, such that the material-free spaces (9, 10, 11) between the sub-elements (5), between the sub-elements (5) and the core element (4), and between the sub-elements (5) and the sheath (7) at least partially disappear.

The invention relates to a single-mode optical fiber for guiding an optical signal. The core region of the optical fiber is capable of guiding an optical signal in a fundamental core mode at an optical signal wavelength. A cladding region is arranged to surround the core region and comprises an inner cladding region and an outer cladding region. The inner cladding region comprises a background material and a plurality of inner cladding features arranged in said background material, wherein a plurality of said plurality of inner cladding features are of a first type of feature. The first type of feature comprises an air hole surrounded by a high-index region comprising a high-index material that is larger than the refractive index of the inner cladding background material. The plurality of said first type of feature supports an optical mode with an effective refractive index, n1, which is lower than the effective refractive index of the fundamental core mode at said optical signal wavelength. The optical fiber may comprise an active material and be used as a cladding pumped fiber amplifier.
