Abstract
We propose and fabricate a novel ring-core Ytterbium-doped fiber (RCYDF) with a depressed inner core. The experiment demonstrates that the fiber could effectively increase the mode competitiveness of the LP11 mode while attenuating the fundamental (LP01) mode. Meanwhile, we propose the overlap factor ratio (OFR) to characterize the mode competitiveness of the high-order core (LP11) mode. Based on this fiber, the cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) are generated at 1062.34 nm with a high efficiency of 63.35%. The output of radially polarized (TM01) and azimuthally polarized (TE01) beams are achieved with high-mode-purity of 94.7% and 93.2%, respectively. The CVB fiber laser has great potential application in surface plasmon excitation and laser material processing.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
