Design and Analysis of Trench-Assisted Low-Bending-Loss Large-Mode-Field-Area Multi-Core Fiber with an Air Hole

Abstract

In this paper, a trench-assisted low-bending-loss large-mode-field-area multi-core fiber with air hole is proposed, which can achieve dual-mode transmission. The influence of structural parameters on fiber performance is analyzed systematically, and the structure of the trench, with a lower refractive index than the cladding, is also analyzed and optimized. By adjusting the structural parameters, the effective mode field area of the fundamental mode can reach 2003.24 um2 at 1550 nm, and when the bending radius is 1 cm, the bending loss is 2.57 Γ— 10βˆ’3 dB/m. The practical implementation of the proposed fiber is feasible using existing fabrication technology and is applicable to the transmission of large-capacity optical communication systems and high-power lasers
