Abstract

The invention relates to a large-mode-field single-mode optical fiber with a heterogeneous helical cladding structure. The inner cladding and the outer cladding structure are designed, and the inner cladding and the fiber core (1) are protected by wrapping the outer cladding with the minimum refractive index. The inner cladding is designed to be composed of two materials with different refractive indices. One inner cladding material has a lower refractive index than the core material, and the light in the core will be totally reflected when it encounters the cladding section and will not leak out; the other The refractive index of an inner cladding material is greater than that of the core material, and the light in the core does not undergo total reflection when it encounters the cladding, and the light in the core will leak into the cladding; the designed large mode field is single Mode fiber, through the design of relevant parameters, the core diameter can be flexibly adjusted between 30-200 microns, and the large-mode field single-mode transmission of the fiber can be maintained; the single-mode mode field diameter that can be achieved by this fiber is larger than the existing commercial single-mode fiber mode fiber, and has a simple structure and is relatively easy to prepare, and can be well applied in the technical field of large mode field single-mode fiber.

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 ...
