Abstract

The invention discloses a microstructure optical fiber with a large mode area. An optical fiber cladding comprises a host material (1) and a two-layer hole; and a fiber core is an area that is surrounded by the two-layer hole. An external layer of the two-layer hole is composed of 12 third type holes (4), wherein centers of the holes are connected into a regular hexagon shape; and an inner layer of the two-layer hole is formed by three adjacent first type holes (2) and three adjacent second type holes (3), wherein the centers of the holes are connected into a regular hexagon shape. Besides, hole cycle lambdas of the two-layer hole are equal and simultaneously, the following relations are satisfied: d2 is larger than d3; and the d2 is larger than d4. According to the invention, holes with different diameters are employed by the optical fiber, so that a constraint is formed on a fiber core mode; and holes with large sizes are utilized to prevent light leakage during bending of the fiber; moreover, holes with small sizes are utilized to form an effective constraint on an optical fiber ground mode; and meanwhile, a high order mode is removed; therefore, an objective of realization of loss transmission with a single mode, a large mode field and low bending is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microstructured optical fibers, in particular to microstructured optical fibers with large mode field, low bending loss and single-mode operating characteristics. Background technique [0002] In the design of high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, the mode field area of ​​the fiber is an important parameter. Increasing the mode field area of ​​the fiber can effectively reduce the nonlinear coefficient of the fiber, thereby increasing its output optical power. Generally, the basic requirements for large mode field fibers are: 1. Single-mode operation, which is a basic condition for high-performance lasers; 2. Large mode field area; 3. Low bending loss, that is, the fiber can allow a certain degree of bending, and Has low bending loss. Due to the manufacturing and performance reasons of traditional optical fibers, it is difficult to obtain single-mode optical fibers that work near 1064nm and have a core diameter ...
