  • Microstructured optical fibre having a large core and a flattened fundamental mode, production method thereof and use of same in laser microfabrication
    Patent number: 9244219
    Abstract: The fiber comprises a core (2) having an index N and diameter of 10 ?m or more, surrounded by a ring (4) having an index N+?n and thickness ?R, and cladding (6) surrounding the ring and comprising for example air gaps (8). According to the invention: ?n?10?3 and ?R=?/(?n)? [1] where: 5×10?4 ?m???5×10?2 ?m and 0.5???1.5. The numbers ? and ? are dependent on the wavelength ? of the light guided by the fiber, the number of missing gaps therein, the diameter d of the gaps, the spacing ? thereof and N. To design the fiber, ?, the number of missing gaps, d/?, the core doping content, ? and ?n are chosen; and ?R is determined using equation [1] so as to obtain a flattened fundamental mode.
