Break up of the azimuthal symmetry of higher order fiber modes.

چکیده
We investigate Bessel-like modes guided in a double cladding fiber where the outer cladding is an aircladding. For very high order LP(0X) -modes, the azimuthal symmetry is broken and the mode is no longer linearly polarized. This is observed experimentally and confirmed numerically. The effect is investigated numerically using a full vectorial modesolver and is observed to be dependent on the fiber design. The effect on the diffraction free propagation distance of the modes is investigated using a fast Fourier transform propagation routine and compared to the properties of an ideal circularly symmetric mode. The free space properties of modes suffering from break up of azimuthal symmetry are also investigated experimentally by measuring the free space propagation of a LP(016)-mode excited in the double cladding fiber.

Investigation of Thermal Dispersion and Thermally-Induced Birefringence on High-Power Double Clad Yb:Glass Fiber Laser
In this work the effects of heat generation on the modes of Yb:Glass double clad fiber laser were investigated. The thermal dispersion and thermally-induced birefringence were considered when the gain medium becomes an anisotropic medium. The results showed considerable modifications of laser modes profiles, in particular for transfer magnetic (TM) and transfer electric (TE) modes which their p...
متن کاملParametric Study of Fuel Vapor Concentration Distribution Due to Vaporization of Fuel Droplets in Free Atmosphere
The growth of a two-phase cloud of a liquid fuel in a stagnant atmosphere is studied using computational fluid dynamic techniques. In order to predict the danger and hazard of such cloud in open atmosphere it is very important to determine the fuel concentration in the cloud, especially in the far field region from the fuel reservoir. The results show that with omission of droplets break up...
متن کاملSymmetry and degeneracy in microstructured optical fibers.
The symmetry of an optical waveguide determines its modal degeneracies. A fiber with rotational symmetry of order higher than 2 has modes that either are nondegenerate and support the complete fiber symmetry or are twofold degenerate pairs of lower symmetry. The latter case applies to the fundamental modes of perfect microstructured optical fibers, guaranteeing that such fibers are not birefrin...
متن کاملTransmission Characteristics of Long-Period Fiber Gratings Having Arbitrary Azimuthal/Radial Refractive Index Variations
A numerical method is presented for determining the transmittance of long-period (LP) fiber-gratings having arbitrary azimuthal/radial refractive index variations. The method uses coupled-mode theory and includes both the sine and cosine character of the LP modes. The model treats interactions between the fundamental mode and high-azimuthal-order cladding modes. The method utilizes the transfer...
متن کاملAnalysis of transients for binary mixture convection in cylindrical geometry
We present experimental results for early transients near the onset of convection of an ethanol-water mixture in cylindrical containers heated from below. The separation ratio of the mixture was c'20.08, and the aspect ratios G[r/d (r is the radius and d the height of the sample cell! of two different containers were 10.91 and 11.53. For this system the onset of convection occurs via a subcriti...
