A resonant-ring-assisted large mode area segmented cladding fiber (RR-SCF) with a high-index ring in the core is proposed. Numerical investigations of the effects of the high-index ring on the leakage losses of guiding modes, mode area, and electric field distribution of FM of the proposed fiber show the high-index ring not only increases the ratio of the loss between the fundamental mode (FM) and the higher-order modes (HOMs) but also improves the electric field distribution of the FM to be flat. By taking these advantages of the high-index-ring-assisted core, the effective single-mode (SM) operation is achieved in the proposed fiber bent in any orientation, which makes up the defect of the conventional RR-SCF that the SM output is affected by the bending orientation. Meanwhile, the mode area is enlarged. Furthermore, the effects of the heat load, duty cycle, bending, and operation wavelength on the fiber performance are analyzed. The results show single-mode operation in all bending orientations with a mode area larger than 824 μm2 can be achieved at a tight bending radius of 15 cm to 16 cm when the operating wavelength ranges from 1.06 μm to 1.76 μm. This fiber shows great potential in high-power fiber lasers. |
