    Abstract: A quasi-single-mode (QSM) optical fiber includes a core and a cladding surrounding the core. The core includes a centerline and an outer edge. The cladding includes an interior edge and an exterior edge. The cladding has a cladding outer diameter defined by the exterior edge of the cladding. The cladding outer diameter may be in the range of greater than 170 µm to about 200 µm. The QSM fiber has a cabled cutoff wavelength that is greater than about 1530 nm. The core and the cladding support a fundamental mode LP 01 and a higher-order mode LP 11 . The fundamental mode LP 01 has an effective area A eff > 150 µm 2 .

    Abstract: A photonic lantern includes three or more optical fibers housed within a glass capillary, each optical fiber includes a core and a cladding. The photonic lantern tapers between a first and second end such that a diameter of the glass capillary is greater at the first end than the second end and the cladding of at least two of the three or more optical fibers comprises an up-down doped cladding doped with a dopant combination that includes an up-dopant and a down-dopant. The up-dopant increases and the down-dopant decreases the effective refractive index of the up-down doped cladding. The dopant combination decreases a material viscosity of the up-down doped cladding such that a difference in the effective refractive index between a silica cladding and the up-down doped cladding is greater in a tapered region and at the second end than at the first end.
