    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.

    摘要: A high power single mode fiber laser system is configured with an active fiber including coextending multimode core (MM) and cladding around the MM core. The MM core is doped with one or more ions selected from rare earth and transitional metals and has a bottleneck cross in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure. The bottleneck cross-section includes a relatively small uniformly dimensioned input end region, a frustoconical region and a relatively large uniformly dimensioned amplifying region. The refractive step index of the MM core is configured with a central dip shaped and dimensioned along the input region so as not to disturb a Gaussian field profile of fundamental mode, gradually transform the Gaussian field profile into the ring profile of the fundamental mode and support the latter along the amplifying region. In accordance with a further aspect, the core is further provided with an output transforming region with the dip which gradually shapes the ring field profile in the Gaussian field profile further distortlessly supported by the output end region. A variety of end and side pumping arrangements are employed with the structures configured in accordance with the first and second aspects.
