Abstract
A novel design of segmented cladding fiber (SCF) with resonant ring is proposed in this paper. A high leakage loss ratio (>100) between the high-order modes (HOMs) and the fundamental mode can be achieved at wavelength 1.064 μm. The HOMs suppression is better than the traditional SCF. The numerical results show that the effectively single-mode operation with a mode area of 790 μm2 can be achieved at a bend radius of 15 cm. Besides, the fiber performance is insensitive to the bending orientation at the ranging of [−180°, 180°]. This fiber design shows great potential in developing compact high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers.
