Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical fiber technology, and in particular to a high-absorption large-mode-field ytterbium-doped multi-cladding optical fiber. Background Art

[0002] Fiber lasers have developed rapidly due to their unique advantages such as high conversion efficiency, good heat dissipation effect, high beam quality and compact structure. They are widely used in optical communications, industrial processing, biomedicine, military defense and other related fields, becoming the dominant force in the laser industry.

[0003] Rare earth-doped optical fiber is used as the gain medium of optical fiber laser. It achieves laser output in different bands by doping different rare earth ions in the optical fiber core. The emergence of rare earth-doped optical fiber with multi-cladding structure design has greatly improved the output capacity of single-fiber laser. In recent years, the output power of fiber lasers has continued to rise, reaching an average power of kilowatts and a peak power of megawatts. However, at high power, nonlinear effects such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) have always restricted the demand for high peak power, high pulse energy and narrow linewidth. Increasing the ytterbium ion doping concentration to reduce the use length of the optical fiber and increasing the large mode field area are two effective ways to effectively solve the nonlinear effect.

[0004] At present, the common method is to reduce the ratio of the inner cladding and core layer of the multi-clad optical fiber to improve absorption. Although it can meet both high absorption and low core numerical aperture, it is easy to cause bending loss. Increasing the ytterbium ion doping concentration means increasing the core numerical aperture, which will lead to deterioration of beam quality. In addition, high concentration of ytterbium ion doping can easily lead to ytterbium ion aggregation and cause photon darkening. Summary of the invention
