Abstract

In this paper, We have proposed a new cross section shape of inner cladding benefited from the conception of unsteady cavity in laser technology. The absorption characteristic of this new type double-clad fiber is analyzed in detail with ray tracing method. For this new type and rectangular double-clad fibers, with core diameter 8im and pump area 100?mX 100?m, about 98% pumped propagation rays are absorbable after 100 times reflection in the inner cladding, so it is possible to achieve very high absorption efficiency. However, for circular, offset and D shape double-clad fibers, with same core diameter and pump area above, only 10%, 50%,80% pumped propagation rays are absorbable.
