Abstract

An air-cored fiber of cladding gain guided microstructure includes a core area and a cladding area. The invention is characterized in that the core area is air-cored and is filled with air; the cladding area includes an internal cladding area and an external cladding area; the cladding area surrounds the core area; the internal cladding area introduces laser materials and the external cladding area is made of solid materials with evenly distributed refractive index; the thickness of the solid material between the hollow core area and a first air hole in the internal cladding area or the air gap is smaller than one wavelength. The fiber is provided with a great model area. The fiber laser adopting such fiber is more conducive to the realization of high power, in addition to the advantages of high gain, high conversion efficiency, low threshold value, good quality of output beam, simple structure and high reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber, in particular to a cladding gain-guiding microstructure hollow-core optical fiber. Background technique [0002] High-power fiber lasers have been increasingly widely used in laser processing, laser medical treatment, laser radar, laser ranging and many other aspects due to their excellent performance and value-for-money price. Under the same output power, fiber lasers have advantages in beam quality, reliability and volume. In addition, due to the reduction of fiber costs and the ease of mass production in assembly lines, this not only arouses the interest of scientists, but also attracts the industry. the great attention of experts in the field. [0003] Fiber lasers were first proposed in the 1960s, but progress has been slow until the development and application of low-loss fiber manufacturing technology and semiconductor lasers brought new prospects for fiber lasers. Fiber lasers use doped fibers as the...
