SPIE Photonics West (2026)


Description:
This excel  file contains theoretically calculated data used for Fig 1 (a), (b), (c) and experimental data used for Fig 2 (a), (b) and (C)

Fig 1: Comparison of temperature distribution in (a) 10/125 µm and (b) 20/400 µm active fibers coated with polymer and metal, without any active cooling and under a heat load 500W/m 

Fig 2: (a) Refractive index profile of Fiber A - C; (b) background loss of passive fibers, Fiber A and Fiber B; and (c) background loss comparison of polymer- and metal- coated Yb-doped fiber, Fiber C.
