Mode area scaling with multi-trench rod-type fibers

Abstract

We propose a novel all-solid rod-type fiber structure that presents a cylindrical symmetry and low refractive-index contrasts. Effectively single-mode propagation for the fundamental mode is ensured thanks to resonant couplings between Higher Order Modes (HOMs) and cladding modes. Numerical simulations demonstrate the possibility of achieving a fundamental mode effective area as large as 5000µm2 at a wavelength of 1.06µm in fibers ensuring a high leakage loss ratio (>100) between the HOMs and the fundamental mode while keeping the fundamental mode leakage losses at a level lower than 0.2dB/m. Further scaling to an effective area of 12,200µm2 at 1.06µm in an effectively singlemode fiber is also presented by exploiting the power delocalization of several HOMs on top of the high-leakage loss filtering.
