    摘要: A large-mode-area (LMA) optical fiber (10) that operates as a single-mode optical fiber. The optical fiber includes a core region (20) surrounded by an inner cladding (32), which in turn is surrounded by an outer cladding (40). The inner cladding includes at least one up-doped ring region (32R1). The ring region is configured to form a large attenuation differential between the higher-order modes and the fundamental mode so only that the fundamental mode remains traveling in the optical fiber. If necessary, the optical fiber can include a bend (10B) having a select “resonant” bend diameter (DB) that increases the relative attenuation of the fundamental and higher-order modes. The optical fiber supports an effective mode field diameter (MFD) of up to 40 μm to 50 μm. As a result, detrimental non-linear effects are suppressed, which allows the optical fiber to carry substantially more optical power than conventional LMA optical fibers. The LMA optical fiber is thus eminently suited for a number of optical-fiber-based applications calling for high optical power, such as fiber lasers and pump sources for wavelength conversion.

    摘要翻译: 作为单模光纤工作的大模(LMA)光纤(10)。 光纤包括由内包层(32)包围的芯区域(20),该内部区域又由外包层(40)围绕。 内包层包括至少一个上掺杂环区(32R1)。 环形区域被配置为在高阶模式和基模之间形成大的衰减差分,从而仅使基本模式保持在光纤中行进。 如果需要,光纤可以包括具有选择的“共振”弯曲直径(DB)的弯曲(10B),该弯曲直径(DB)增加了基极和高阶模的相对衰减。 光纤支持高达40μm至50μm的有效模场直径(MFD)。 结果,抑制了有害的非线性效应,这使得光纤比传统的LMA光纤承载更多的光功率。 因此,LMA光纤非常适合于需要高光功率的多个基于光纤的应用,例如用于波长转换的光纤激光器和泵浦光源。
