Abstract

The invention discloses a longitudinal spiral mode transfer optical fiber, which comprises a fiber core, a cladding and a coating layer; a silica material is taken as a substrate by the fiber core, and comprises at least one active ion and a co-doping agent; a plurality of side cores which surround the fiber core and are distributed in a longitudinal spiral structure are arranged in the cladding; the silica material is adopted by the side cores; each core diameter is at the micron dimension; the spiral cycle is at the millimeter dimension, and the edge-to-edge offset of the side core at the innermost layer and the edge-to-edge offset of the fiber core are at the micron dimension. According to the longitudinal spiral mode transfer optical fiber disclosed by the invention, as the spiral side cores with a loss mechanism are added to the cladding, the spiral side cores can be coupled with a higher order mode in the fiber core, and high loss is provided, and therefore single mode optical fiber transfer of large mode area is realized, and a new way is provided for the development of a high-power fiber laser.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optics and laser optoelectronics, and more specifically relates to a longitudinal helical mode transfer optical fiber. Background technique [0002] Fiber lasers have developed rapidly due to their unique advantages such as high conversion efficiency, good heat dissipation effect, high beam quality and compact structure. They are widely used in optical communications, industrial processing, biomedicine, military defense and other related fields. dominant force. [0003] In recent years, the output power of fiber lasers has continued to rise, reaching kW-level average power and MW-level peak power. However, high-power laser output will lead to too high power density in the fiber core, which will easily cause serious nonlinear effects such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and fiber damage. [0004] The existing technology usually uses a large mode area (Large Mo...
