Large mode area multi-trench fiber with delocalization of higher order modes
Large mode area multi-trench fiber with delocalization of higher order modes
Multi-trench fiber (MTF) is a novel large mode area fiber design for high power fiber laser applications. This fiber design allows very high suppression of the higher order modes by offering high losses and delocalizing them out of the core. MTFs allow the core refractive index to be higher than the surrounding cladding as compared to other structures such as photonic crystal fibers, photonic bandgap fibers, and Bragg fibers. This feature of MTFs dramatically reduces the complexity associated with doped fiber fabrication. The MTF design is an all-solid structure with cylindrical symmetry, which provides easy cleaving and splicing with other fibers. In this paper, we present the first experimental demonstration of the MTF. S2 measurements indicate single mode operation with very high suppression of the higher order modes.

Abstract
Multi-trench fiber (MTF) is a novel large mode area fiber design for high power fiber laser applications. This fiber design allows very high suppression of the higher order modes by offering high losses and delocalizing them out of the core. MTFs allow the core refractive index to be higher than the surrounding cladding as compared to other structures such as photonic crystal fibers, photonic bandgap fibers, and Bragg fibers. This feature of MTFs dramatically reduces the complexity associated with doped fiber fabrication. The MTF design is an all-solid structure with cylindrical symmetry, which provides easy cleaving and splicing with other fibers. In this paper, we present the first experimental demonstration of the MTF. S2 measurements indicate single mode operation with very high suppression of the higher order modes.
