We propose a new model for gain competition effects in high-power fiber amplifiers, which accounts for the thermal effects of heat load on the doped core overlap of the propagating light field. The full-vectorial nature of the fiber modes is modeled by an embedded finite-element method modal solver, and the temperature profile is calculated by a simple and efficient radial heat propagation solver. The model is applied to a Yb3+-doped LPF45 air-clad photonic-crystal fiber amplifier for coand counter-propagating pumping setups, showing gain competition in conditions of severe heat load.

Abstract
We propose a new model for gain competition effects in high-power fiber amplifiers, which accounts for the thermal effects of heat load on the doped core overlap of the propagating light field. The full-vectorial nature of the fiber modes is modeled by an embedded finite-element method modal solver, and the temperature profile is calculated by a simple and efficient radial heat propagation solver. The model is applied to a Yb3+-doped LPF45 air-clad photonic-crystal fiber amplifier for coand counter-propagating pumping setups, showing gain competition in conditions of severe heat load.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
