A large-mode-area single-mode multi-core segmented cladding
fiber belongs to high-power
fiber optic amplifiers,
laser devices and special optical fibers. The large-mode-area single-mode multi-core segmented cladding
fiber overcomes the defect that existing large-mode-area single-mode fibers are low in production yield and limited in segmented mode area. According to the large-mode-area single-mode multi-core segmented cladding fiber, a
rare earth doped
ion core area (1) is formed in the center; from the inside to the outside, a first
silicon ring core (2, 1), a first
rare earth doped
ion ring core (3, 1)... an Nth
silicon ring core (2, N) and an Nth
rare earth doped
ion ring core (3, N), M segmented cores (4, 1)... (4, M) uniformly distributed around the Nth ion ring core and provided with the same
radius and the same
radian, an internal cladding layer (5) and an
external cladding layer (6) are distributed. The ion core area, the ion ring cores and the segmented cores are identical in
refractive index and are n1; the
silicon ring cores are identical in
refractive index and are n2, and n2<n1. A segmented fiber core is processed into the M segmented fiber cores with the same
radius and the same
radian through an
optical fiber preform, so that the large-mode-area single-mode multi-core segmented cladding fiber save materials and is easy to manufacture, simple and effective in manufacturing method and applicable to large-scale production.
