The invention discloses an 
optical fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer, which is used in an 
optical fiber laser and composed of an inner clad layer (101), a ring-shaped doped layer (102), a middle clad layer (103), an outer clad layer (104) and a protective layer (105), wherein the ring doped layer (102), the middle clad layer (103), the outer clad layer (104) and the protective layer (105) are, from inside to outside, sequentially clad on the inner clad layer (101), and the inner clad layer (101) is an undoped optical fire core. The invention also discloses a method for preparing the 
optical fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer, and a 
laser taking the optical 
fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer as a 
gain medium. According to the invention, the traditional 
fiber core 
doping is changed into a ring-shaped doped layer, so that the 
laser oscillation is actually performed in a ring-shaped 
waveguide, and then through reasonably designing the thickness of the ring-shaped 
waveguide, a single-mode operation can be kept; meanwhile, because the cross section area of the doped layer is large, the optical 
fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer is suitable to high-
power output, therefore, the output power of the optical 
fiber laser using the optical fiber can be improved.
