Abstract High-power fiber lasers have experienced a dramatic development over the last decade. Further increasing the output power needs an upscaling of the fiber mode area, while maintaining a single-mode output. Here, we propose an all-solid anti-resonant fiber (ARF) structure, which ensures single-mode operation in broadband by resonantly coupling higher-order modes into the cladding. A series of fibers with core sizes ranging from 40 to 100 μm are proposed exhibiting maximum mode area exceeding 5000 μm2. Numerical simulations show this resonant coupling scheme provides a higher-order mode (mainly TE01, TM01, and HE21) suppression ratio of more than 20 dB, while keeping the fundamental mode loss lower than 1 dB/m. The proposed structure also exhibits high tolerance for core index depression.

AbstractUsing an all-fiber mode selective coupler (MSC) at the visible band, here we experimentally demonstrate a generating and wavelength multiplexing scheme for the cylindrical vector (CV) and vortex beams (VBs). The proposed MSCs act as efficient mode converters to produce spectrally insensitive high-order modes (HOMs) at the wavelength ranging from 450 to 980 nm, which have broad operation bandwidth (more than 7 nm), high mode conversion efficiency (94%), and purity (98%), and low insert loss (below 0.5 dB). By adjusting the polarization state and the phase shift of linear polarization (LP)11 mode respectively, the donut-shaped CVs and circular-polarization VBs are achieved. The focused intensity distribution of the donut beam on the cross- and axial-sections is monitored by using a confocal system. The all-fiber solution of producing and multiplexing HOMs opens a new route for stimulated emission depletion microscopy applications.
