All Solid Multistep-Index Core Large Mode Area Single-Mode Fiber

In this paper, a large-mode-area (LMA) single-mode fiber based on multistep-index core structure is proposed. The multistep-index core increases the mode field area (MFA). The trapezoidal refractive ring structure and the trench layer structure ensure the fiber maintains effective single-mode regime...

description In this paper, a large-mode-area (LMA) single-mode fiber based on multistep-index core structure is proposed. The multistep-index core increases the mode field area (MFA). The trapezoidal refractive ring structure and the trench layer structure ensure the fiber maintains effective single-mode regime. The structure is analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). Numerical results show that the proposed fiber is capable of maintaining effective single-mode regime at a bending radius of 10 cm. The MFA reaches 2578.136 &#x03BC;m<sup>2</sup> at the wavelength of 2.0 &#x03BC;m. The leakage loss (Loss) is 0.076 dB&#x002F;m for fundamental mode (FM). The fiber structure also has the potential to develop LMA single-mode fiber with high performance at the wavelength of 1.55 &#x03BC;m. Furthermore, the circular symmetry of the fiber structure makes it insensitive to bending direction. These features indicate the proposed fiber has great potential in the application of the high-power laser system.
