Abstract: | An accurate experimental comparison of the pump absorption and the lasing features between Nd/sup 3+/-doped fiber lasers using hexagonal-shaped and D-shaped fiber is reported. The measured slope efficiencies with respect to the absorbed pump power of 805 nm are nearly identical at /spl sim/65.3% for both fibers. Taking advantage of the near symmetrical shape of the hexagonal fiber, the lowest reported splice loss of 0.05 dB is achieved between the double-clad fiber and standard 125-/spl mu/m fiber with the use of the fiber etching techniques. The pump absorption can be improved by bending the hexagonal fibers into a kidney shape. |
