| Power Measurement of Modes in Few-Mode Fibre | With the information explosion currently occurring in society, which is, for instance, driving an 80 per cent per annum growth in data storage, data transmission bandwidth is currently of primary concern. In the interests of increasing data transmission density, there is currently considerable interest in mode-division multiplexing. In addition, there is currently considerable interest in high power laser amplifier construction using large mode area fibres. Both of these areas require a detailed understanding of the nature of power amplification of the higher order modes, with the former having the aim of evenly spreading power amongst modes and the latter having the aim maximising the power in the fundamental mode. | Power Measurement of Modes in Few-Mode Fibre |
| A Two-Mode Cladding-Pumped Ytterbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier | Using cladding-mode pumping, simultaneous amplification of both the fundamental and second modes is demonstrated in an ytterbium-doped, two-mode fibre. A gain of 30dB was measured over 2 metres of fibre using 1 watt of pump power. | A Two-Mode Cladding-Pumped Ytterbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier |
