Abstract

The invention relates to a large-mode-field single-mode optical fiber of a heterogeneous spiral cladding structure. According to the invention, the optical fiber comprises an inner cladding layer andan outer cladding layer, wherein the inner cladding layer and a fiber core (1) are wrapped by the outer cladding layer with the minimum refractive index. Meanwhile, the inner cladding layer is designed to be composed of two materials with different refractive indexes. The refractive index of one material of the inner cladding layer is smaller than that of the material of the fiber core, and the light in the fiber core is totally reflected on the above material of the inner cladding layer. In this way, the leakage of the light is avoided. The refractive index of the other material of the innercladding layer is larger than that of the material of the fiber core, and the light in the fiber core cannot be totally reflected on the above material of the inner cladding layer. In this way, the light in the fiber core can leak into the outer cladding layer. According to the invention, the large-mode-field single-mode optical fiber is designed and the relevant parameters of the optical fiber are designed. The core diameter of the optical fiber can be flexibly adjusted within the range of 30-200 microns. Meanwhile, the large-mode-field single-mode transmission of the optical fiber can be kept. By means of the optical fiber, the diameter of the single-mode field is larger than that of an existing commercial single-mode optical fiber. Meanwhile, the optical fiber is simple in structure andrelatively easy in preparation. The technical scheme of the invention can be well applied to the technical field of large-mode-field single-mode optical fibers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a large-mode-field single-mode optical fiber with a heterogeneous spiral cladding structure, and belongs to the technical field of special optical fibers. Background technique [0002] Due to the existence of physical mechanisms such as nonlinear effects and thermal damage in traditional gain fibers or communication fibers, the power capacity of transmitted light is severely limited. However, the nonlinear effect of light is inversely proportional to the mode field area of ​​the fiber. The larger the mode field area, the weaker the nonlinear effect and the higher the nonlinear threshold. Therefore, increasing the mode field diameter of the fiber is the most direct and effective way to improve the optical transmission capacity of the fiber. However, in order to ensure the beam quality of the output laser, it is required to increase the mode field area and at the same time make the fiber capable of single-mode operation, so the ...
