Numerical optimisation of pump absorption in doped double-clad fiber with transverse and longitudinal perturbation
Numerical optimisation of pump absorption in doped double-clad fiber with transverse and longitudinal perturbation
We report on the impact of the cross-sectional shape of the inner cladding of double-clad fiber on pump absorption using a Beam Propagation Method based on azimuthal harmonics expansions and the so-called "superformula" to describe complex shapes. The impact of shaped cladding and of the fiber layout on pump absorption of double-clad fiber is studied. We observe that for nearly circular cross-section fibers the pump absorption can be enhanced to match that of fiber with strong azimuthal asymmetry, through optimised fiber layout that maximizes pump mixing.

Abstract
We report on the impact of the cross-sectional shape of the inner cladding of double-clad fiber on pump absorption using a Beam Propagation Method based on azimuthal harmonics expansions and the so-called "superformula" to describe complex shapes. The impact of shaped cladding and of the fiber layout on pump absorption of double-clad fiber is studied. We observe that for nearly circular cross-section fibers the pump absorption can be enhanced to match that of fiber with strong azimuthal asymmetry, through optimised fiber layout that maximizes pump mixing.
