The main optical parameters of a drawn fiber are theoretically studied and experimentally measured. These fibers are of great interest for nonlinear fiber optics. Such applications of the fibers, such as high-quality soliton pulse compression, soliton pulsewidth stabilization through compensation of losses, and generation of a high-repetition-rate train of practically uninteracting solitons, are considered.

Ytterbium-doped fibre lasers with tailored all-solid microstructured cladding

A major trend is to increase the active core area to increase the thresholds of nonlinear effects while ensuring a transverse singlemode behavior. Actually, increasing the active ions' concentration is also demanded since it allows a drastic reduction

Even in the class of large-mode-area fibers, dispersion of PBGFs can be efficiently tailored by tuning photonic band gaps of the fiber cladding. The fiber provides a low-loss transmission within the fundamental photonic band gap of its cladding from approximately 930 to 1300 nm. Laser pulses experienced a significant spectral broadening as a result of nonlinear-optical processes inside the fiber, with the spectrum of light pulses transmitted through fiber covering, roughly, the entire transmission band of the PBGF. Spectral-temporal maps of ultrashort light pulses were measured by cross-correlation frequency resolved optical gating (XFROG) with a 800-nm, 70-fs output of a solid laser used as a reference pulse. A typical XFROG trace of a laser pulse transmitted through a 22-cm piece of PBGF, suggests that group velocity dispersion of the PBGF vanishes at approximately 1200 nm and indicates that a chirp acquired by the light pulse at the fiber output is mainly due to the normal dispersion of the fiber. With a prism compressor designed to compensate for this chirp, light pulses with a pulse width of about 60 fs and an energy of 0.35 muJ were produced. XFROG traces of compressed pulses suggest that even shorter pulse widths can be achieved with an accurate compensation of high-order phase shifts.

It is shown that the structure of the polymer affects its solubility, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties and use as a coating. The resulting polymers with η inh = 0.3-1.3 dL/g are characterized by high heat resistance and thermal stability (240°C ≤ T g ≤ 375°C, 440°C ≤ T 10% ≤ 580°C) and also form high-strength films (55 MPa ≤ σ ≤ 140 MPa; 1.1 GPa ≤ E ≤ 2.8 GPa). The developed polyimides are promising as new highly thermostable protective coatings, in particular, of optical fibers, whose mechanical properties do not change after prolonged exposure at 300°C.

The rate of this decrease appears to depend on the interface between glass and metal. The influence of atmosphere above the metallizer at the application of a metal coating by the freezing method was investigated. Some decrease of the initial bending strength, yet longer lifetime at high temperatures, have been observed for fibers sealed in atmosphere containing oxygen, which can create an alumina layer between silica glass and aluminum. In order to exclude the chemical reaction between silica and aluminum, an intermediate layer of carbon was applied during the fiber drawing. Results of the carbon coating influence on strength and lifetime of aluminum coated fibers at high temperatures are presented.

The results indicate that, even at reduced drawing temperatures, high-strength fibers with few “weak” points can be produced provided that the walls of the holes in the preform are sufficiently clean. The effects of air humidity and different liquids in the holes on the strength of microstructured fibers are shown to be similar to those for standard fibers.

It has been established that with increasing the P 2 O 5 concentration level, both optical losses and the fiber Raman gain coefficient increase. Using the fiber technology developed, the maximum efficiency of a single-cascaded Raman laser is achieved at a phosphorus pentoxide doping level of 12-14 mol % P 2 O 5 .

Characteristics of such fibers intended for use in Raman lasers operating at 1.24 and 1.48 micrometers are investigated. A reduction of fiber drawing temperature and additional doping of the fiber core with fluorine allowed a reduction of optical losses below 1 dB/km in wavelength range 1.1 - 1.5 micrometers .

The properties of these MOFs are numerically analysed using the finite element method. The leakage losses for the fundamental and higher-order modes in the spectral range 0.75−1.65 μm are calculated for straight and bent MOFs. It is shown that the considered MOF design allows single-mode operation in the range 0.98−1.26 μm at a bending radius of down to 0.08 m, the leakage losses for the bent MOF at a wavelength of 1.05 μm being 0.046 dB m−1.
