Abstract

We designed and manufactured a novel annular-core hollow beam fiber which could directly yield ring light with a central dark spot inside the beam employing MCVD technique and a custom-made fiber drawing tower. The tapered fiber zone geometric shapes at varied stretching speed between the single-core fiber and the annular-core hollow beam fiber were studied theoretically. According to the beam propagation method, the bi-tapered coupling energy transmission between these two fibers was simulated and analyzed. Moreover, by adopting a fusion splicing and stretching technique at the fiber-linked point, an effective coupling approach had been fulfilled.
