Decrease in the thermal sensitivity of an active optical fiber

A rare-earth doped optical fiber (active optical fiber) is presented that exhibits a thermal coefficient of optical refraction (dn / dT) of the core region that is reduced relative to the thermal coefficient of optical refraction (dn / dT) of the surrounding cladding. The reduction of the dn / dT of the core region has been found to reduce the impact of transverse mode instability (TMI) in the presence of high levels of pump power (or other conditions that can also increase the thermal load present in the core region). Specifically, it has been found that reducing the dn / dT of the core region relative to the dn / dT of the cladding by at least 10% is sufficient to extend the temperature range in which the active optical fiber is maintained in single mode operation. The reduction of the dn / dT can be provided by modifying the dopants introduced into the core region, where, for example, it is known to introduce boron into ytterbium doped optical fibers to reduce the dn / dT of the core region.
