    摘要: The present disclosure is a system for the protection of a fiber within a laser system. The system has a water-cooled housing supporting a termination block, which is operative to shield a protective layer of a delivery fiber from back-reflected beams of light. The termination block is manufactured from quartz and is frustconical in configuration and fuseable to the delivery fiber. The delivery fiber has a polymeric protective layer with an acceptance end and a delivery end, and passes through a washer contained within the housing; the washer has a dielectric reflective coating. The system has at least one terminal block connector which further comprises a cone termination block, a reflector, and a set of light guards. The cone termination block is spliced to an output end of the delivery fiber and produces an angle λ so as to reduce propagation of back-reflected light. The reflector is positioned so as to block additional back-reflected light from the protective layer of the delivery fiber.

    摘要: A monolithic fiber is configured with a double bottleneck-shaped multimode (MM) core capable of supporting substantially only a fundamental mode at a given wavelength and having opposite end regions, frustoconically shaped transformer regions, which run inwards from the respective end regions, and a central uniformly dimensioned region, which bridges the transformer regions. The MM core has a refractive step-index profile which is configured with a centrally positioned dip having a variable width along the length of the fiber. The width of the dip is relatively small at the end regions of the MM core so as to support only the fundamental mode with a Gaussian profile. As the dip becomes larger along the input transformer region, it gradually shapes the Gaussian profile into the ring profile of the fundamental mode, which is guided along the central region of the MM core. The dip gradually becomes smaller along the output transition region so as to shape the ring profile back into the substantially Gaussian profile of the fundamental mode radiated from the output end region of the MM core. The refractive index profile has a ring area doped with one or more rare-earth elements and configured to amplify substantially only the fundamental mode.

    摘要: A method of producing a large mode area optical preform includes selecting a preexisting rod and at least one preexisting outer tube. The rod and tube are selected so that a difference between respective indices of refraction is uniform and lies within the desired range, and a ratio between respective rod and tube diameters is within the desired range after the rod is inserted into the tube and both are thermally treated. The predetermined ranges are selected to provide mass production of a large mode area fiber with the desired physical and geometrical characteristics.
