A large mode area single-mode optical fiber based on leaky mode filtering has been prepared by modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) technique. The fiber has a leaky cladding, which discriminates the fundamental mode from the higher order ones. A preliminary version has 25-µm core diameter and 0.11 numerical aperture. A Gaussian-like mode...

We present a co-axial dual-core resonant leaky optical fibre design, in which the outer core is made highly leaky. A suitable choice of parameters can enable us to resonantly couple power from the inner core to the outer core. In a large-core fibre, such a resonant coupling can considerably increase the differential leakage loss between the...

We analyze a multilayer leaky cladding (MLC) fibre using the finite element method and study the effect of the MLC on the bending loss and birefringence of two types of structures: i) a circular-core large-mode area structure and ii) an elliptical-small-core structure. In a large-mode-area structure, we verify that the multi-layer leaky...

A large mode area single-mode optical fibre based on leaky mode filtering was prepared by MCVD. The cladding structure discriminates the fundamental mode from the higher order ones. A preliminary version has 25-µm core diameter and 0.11 numerical aperture. A Gaussian-like mode with 22-µm MFD is observed after 3-m propagation, in agreement with modeling.
