Enhanced pump absorption in double-clad fibres using localised laser-machined mode scramblers
Enhanced pump absorption in double-clad fibres using localised laser-machined mode scramblers
A novel method for improving pump absorption efficiency in circular double-clad fibres by laser machining localised pump scramblers at strategic positions along the fibre is reported. Preliminary results for a thulium-doped double-clad fibre indicate that the pump absorption coefficient attainable via this approach is comparable to an equivalent octagonal fibre.

Abstract
A novel method for improving pump absorption efficiency in circular double-clad fibres by laser machining localised pump scramblers at strategic positions along the fibre is reported. Preliminary results for a thulium-doped double-clad fibre indicate that the pump absorption coefficient attainable via this approach is comparable to an equivalent octagonal fibre.
