Abstract

The invention discloses an all-solid LMA photonic band gap optical fiber. The all-solid LMA photonic band gap optical fiber comprises fiber core and cladding, wherein the fiber core comprises base materials (1) and low-reflective-index medium columns (2) which are distributed in a regular-triangular grid; the cladding comprises the base materials (1) and high-reflective-index medium columns (3). The all-solid LMA photonic band gap optical fiber binds light through the high-reflective-index medium columns, thereby having relatively strong binding capacities and relatively low bending losses; the low-reflective-index medium columns distributed cyclically in the center of the optical fiber can enlarge the loss difference between fundamental modes and high-order modes to distinguish the fundamental modes from the high-order modes and to further enable the optical fiber to achieve single-mode transmission. Due to the fact that the low-reflective-index medium columns are of a multi-layer structure, the optical fiber can obtain a large mode area. Meanwhile, the all-solid LMA photonic band gap optical fiber is of an all-solid structure and accordingly avoids the difficulty in manufacturing and usage of micro-structure optical fibers with air holes, and can achieve LMA low-bending-loss single-mode transmission.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber lasers, in particular to an all-solid-state large-mode field photonic bandgap fiber with large mode field area and low bending loss characteristics. Background technique [0002] High-power fiber lasers have more and more applications in industry due to their advantages of good beam quality, small size, high conversion efficiency and good heat dissipation. However, high-power lasers can cause problems such as optical damage and nonlinear effects. The use of large-mode-field fibers can suppress nonlinear effects and increase the optical damage threshold. Generally, the basic requirements for large mode field fibers are: 1. Single-mode operation, which is a basic condition for high-performance lasers; 2. Large mode field area; 3. Low bending loss, that is, the fiber can allow a certain degree of bending, and Has low bending loss. [0003] There are several technical ways to increase the fiber mode area: [...
