Large Mode Area Optical Fibers Maintain Polarization MOSCOW, July 20, 2017 — An optical fiber has been developed that preserves the coherent properties of light. This novel tapered fiber could be useful in the construction of high-power pulsed fiber lasers and amplifiers and polarization-sensitive sensors. The fiber enables control over both the distribution of light intensity and the polarization of light. It has an elliptical inner cladding and an extremely large core diameter that increases adiabatically from 8 µm to 70 µm. Researchers characterized
