  • Main function analysis:
  • one:of double clad Improve pump efficiency and energy conversion capability
    Double clad fiber separates the transmission path of pump light and signal light through a two-layer cladding structure (inner cladding and outer cladding), enabling more efficient conversion of pump light energy into signal light. This design significantly improves the gain and output power of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers, solving the energy loss problem of single-mode fibers in high-power systems.

two:Enhance physical protection performance

  • The outer layer material of the double-layer cladding structure is more durable, which can effectively reduce the damage to the fiber core caused by external forces, and reduce distortion and loss in signal transmission. This feature makes it more reliable in complex environments such as industrial scenes or long-distance deployments
  • Other derived advantages
  • Anti interference: The double clad structure can effectively resist external electromagnetic interference and ensure signal stability, especially in the field of communication.
  • Security: Through laser energy conversion transmission, secure communication functions such as key distribution can be achieved (in some applications of double clad active optical fibers).
  • Flexibility: Variants such as tapered double clad fiber (T-DCF) further optimize pump absorption efficiency to meet different light source mode requirements

  • three：Expand application scenarios
  • High power laser systems, such as double clad fiber lasers, are suitable for fields such as material processing and medical equipment.
  • High speed communication: By reducing signal loss and supporting higher transmission rates, it meets the needs of data centers and long-distance communication.
  • Fiber optic sensing: improving sensor accuracy, suitable for environmental monitoring and industrial control
summarize

  • As a special optical transmission medium, double clad fiber has broad application prospects in modern communication and high-tech fields. In the fields of fiber optic communication, optical sensing, lasers, etc., double clad fibers play an important role by improving signal transmission rate, protecting optical signals, enhancing the mechanical strength of fibers, and increasing output power.
