Abstract

Mechanical strength is one of the biggest limitations of practical application for tellurite fiber. In this study, we design and fabricate a single mode tellurite composite fiber to overcome the flaw. The fiber has a double cladding structure with tellurite core and inner cladding, the outer cladding, which is made of non-tellurite glass, possesses of appropriate softening temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion, well matched the novelty tellurite glass. The propagation loss of the fiber is less than 0.02 dB/cm @1310 nm. We also investigate the laser property of the fiber by using a homemade watt-class 1590 nm fiber laser. 2 micron fiber laser is demonstrated with a 2 cm length of the fiber.
