Large-mode-area optical fiber for photonic nanojet generation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The photonic nanojet (PNJ) generated by a shaped optical fiber tip is an attractive technology for laser micro-machining. The working distance has the same order of size as the fiber core diameter; therefore, multimode (MM) fibers are generally preferred. However, the PNJ is due to the fundamental mode and, therefore, the energy coupled on the high-order modes does not contribute to the process. We demonstrate the benefit of a large-mode-area (LMA) optical fiber in the generation of the PNJ. A homemade 40 μm mode field diameter LMA fiber is compared with a 100/140 MM-shaped fiber tip. Similar micro-peaks are obtained, and an energy gain is demonstrated. The coupled energy required was eight times less intense with the LMA fiber, which may open new possibilities for laser micro- and nano-processing.
