The invention discloses an
optical fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer, which is used in an
optical fiber laser and composed of an inner clad layer (101), a ring-shaped doped layer (102), a middle clad layer (103), an outer clad layer (104) and a protective layer (105), wherein the ring doped layer (102), the middle clad layer (103), the outer clad layer (104) and the protective layer (105) are, from inside to outside, sequentially clad on the inner clad layer (101), and the inner clad layer (101) is an undoped optical fire core. The invention also discloses a method for preparing the
optical fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer, and a
laser taking the optical
fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer as a
gain medium. According to the invention, the traditional
fiber core
doping is changed into a ring-shaped doped layer, so that the
laser oscillation is actually performed in a ring-shaped
waveguide, and then through reasonably designing the thickness of the ring-shaped
waveguide, a single-mode operation can be kept; meanwhile, because the cross section area of the doped layer is large, the optical
fiber with a ring-shaped doped layer is suitable to high-
power output, therefore, the output power of the optical
fiber laser using the optical fiber can be improved.
