    摘要: This disclosure relates to polarizing optical fibers and polarization maintaining optical fibers, including active and/or passive implementations. An embodiment includes a polarizing (PZ) optical fiber that includes stress applying parts (SAPs) disposed in a first cladding region, the SAPs comprising a material with a thermal expansion coefficient, αSAP. A core region is at least partially surrounded by cladding features and the SAPs. The core includes glass with a thermal expansion coefficient, αcore. The arrangement of the SAPs satisfies: Rsc=dSAP/Dsc, where Dsc is the SAP center to core center distance, and dSAP is the average SAP diameter, and dα=|αSAP−αcore|, and where Rsc and dα may be sufficiently large to induce stress birefringence into the core and to provide for polarized output. Active fibers in which a portion of the fiber is doped may be implemented for application in fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, and/or optical pulse compressors.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a structure of an optical fiber capable of satisfying desired requirements of an output power, a propagation distance, and a beam quality. In the design of the PCF of the present invention, the PCF has air holes having diameters d and intervals Λ in an overlapping region where a region of Aeff of a desired value or more and a cutoff region in a desired higher-order mode overlap each other on a graph where the horizontal axis represents d/Λ and the vertical axis represents Λ, so that it is possible to sufficiently cut off the mode which is the desired higher-order mode or more, and thus, it is possible to select a region where the Aeff is large.
