Abstract

The invention discloses a large-mode-field triple-clad optical fiber, a preparation method thereof and an optical fiber laser. The large-mode-field triple-clad optical fiber comprises a fiber core, afirst cladding wrapping the fiber core and a second cladding wrapping the first cladding. The fiber core is porous glass sintered after being doped with a co-dopant, and the co-dopant is a mixture ofytterbium ions and at least one of aluminum chloride, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and cerous nitrate; the first cladding is porous glass that is obtained by doping with at least one of germanium oxide and ammonium hexafluorosilicate and then performing sintering; and the second cladding is porous glass sintered after heavily doping ammonium hexafluorosilicate. Porous glass is adopted as a matrixmaterial, high-concentration and high-uniformity doping of rare earth ions and fluorides can be achieved by fully utilizing the characteristic that the porous glass has nanoscale pore channels whichare communicated with one another, and the refractive indexes of the first cladding and the second cladding are controlled by adjusting the concentration of doping ions; therefore, the laser is effectively bound in the fiber core, and the transmission efficiency and stability of the optical fiber are effectively improved.
