Abstract

Thermal refraction defocusing in very-large-core step-index antiguided fibers is investigated theoretically. Recent analytical methods based on a zero-field approximation for studying the effects of thermal focusing are extended and applied to the defocusing effects that occur in laser media with negative temperature coefficient of refractive index. Intermediate values of thermal defocusing tend to flatten the radial intensity distribution, while strong thermal defocusing is shown to concentrate the intensity near the antiguiding core–cladding boundary. The same analysis is also applicable for very-large-core graded-index fibers with a divergent parabolic index profile.
