    摘要: A multicore fiber is provided. The multicore fiber includes a plurality of cores spaced apart from one another, and a cladding surrounding the plurality of cores and defining a substantially rectangular or cross-sectional shape having four corners. Each corner has a radius of curvature of less than 1000 microns. The multicore fiber may be drawn from a preform in a circular draw furnace in which a ratio of a maximum cross-sectional dimension of the preform to an inside diameter of the preform to an inside diameter of the draw furnace is greater than 0.60. The multicore fiber may have maxima reference surface.

    摘要: A multicore optical fiber including four cores arranged in a linear configuration, the centerline of each core being spaced from the centerline of an adjacent core by a distance x of about 30 microns or less, and each core having a relative refractive index Δ1. A cladding surrounding each of the four cores, the cladding including an inner cladding region with a relative refractive index Δ2, a depressed-index cladding region with a relative refractive index Δ3, and an outer cladding region with a relative refractive index Δ4, wherein Δ1>Δ2>Δ3 and Δ1>Δ4>Δ3. Furthermore, each core of the four cores has a mode field diameter, at a wavelength of 1310 nm, of about 8.1 microns or less, and cross talk between adjacent cores is about −18 dB or less at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm per 2 km fiber length.

    摘要: Fiber array spacers, optical fiber assemblies, optical assemblies, and methods for fabricating optical assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical fiber assembly includes a fiber array spacer and a fiber ribbon having an array of optical fibers. The fiber array spacer has an array of spacer fibers, wherein individual spacer fibers of the array of spacer fibers are bonded to one another, and a diameter of the individual spacer fibers determines a height of the fiber array spacer. Each optical fiber of the array of optical fibers has an glass portion. The glass portion of each optical fiber is bonded to the fiber array spacer such that a longitudinal axis of the individual spacer fibers is transverse to a longitudinal axis of individual optical fibers of the fiber ribbon.

    摘要: Laser waveguides, methods and systems for forming a laser waveguide are provided. The waveguide includes an inner cladding layer surrounding a central axis and a glass core surrounding and located outside of the inner cladding layer. The glass core includes a laser-active material. The waveguide includes an outer cladding layer surrounding and located outside of the glass core. The inner cladding, outer cladding and/or core may surround a hollow central channel or bore and may be annular in shape.
