Large mode area Yb-doped photonic bandgap fiber lasers Report Title Fiber lasers are in the process of revolutionizing modern manufacturing. Further power scaling is still much desired to increase throughput and to break new frontiers in science and defense. It has become very clear now that highly single-mode fibers with large effective mode areas are required to overcome both nonlinear effect...
متن کاملOptimizing single mode robustness of the distributed modal filtering rod fiber amplifier.
High-power fiber amplifiers for pulsed applications require large mode area (LMA) fibers having high pump absorption and near diffraction limited output. Photonic crystal fibers allow realization of short LMA fiber amplifiers having high pump absorption through a pump cladding that is decoupled from the outer fiber diameter. However, achieving ultra low NA for single mode (SM) guidance is chall...

Introduction: Cladding-pumped rare-earth-doped fibers and Raman fiber devices have been two of the most compelling advances in the area of fiber amplifiers and lasers in recent years. Both cladding-pumped fibers and Raman fiber devices are primarily high-power devices. Cladding-pumping enables pumping with multi-mode pump sources that deliver high-power at a low cost. The core of the double-cla...

ecent experimental results [1,2] suggest that optical fiers having a negative index step from cladding to core, ombined with an adequately large gain coefficient in a arge-diameter core region, can provide robust single ransverse mode operation having very large mode area ithout requiring complex fiber structures or other mode iscrimination measures. This paper reviews the imporant mode propert...
متن کاملCompact broadband amplified spontaneous emission in Tm-doped tungsten tellurite glass double-cladding single-mode fiber
We reported the ~2 μm amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) performance of highly Tm-doped (3.76 × 10 ions/cm) tungsten tellurite single-mode fibers. The double-cladding fiber was pumped by a commercial 792 nm laser diode without any reflectors. Broadband ASE spectra with the bandwidth (FWHM) varying from ~45 nm to ~140 nm were achieved in a fiber length of 34 cm. The maximum output power was ~3...
