Abstract

Light propagation in a perfect circular double clad fiber (DCF) is numerically investigated by using the coupled mode method with translating the DCF into a single mode fiber (SMF) and an annular core fiber (ACF). The results show that for the coupling coefficients between the LP₀₁ mode of the SMF and the guided modes (LP_0n modes) of the ACF, the high-order mode has a larger coupling coefficient than the low-order mode for the ACF. By using the coupled mode equations the field distribution in the DCF core is calculated, the results show that the power shows a quasi-periodic distribution along the DCF core and its average period increases with increasing wavelength for different DCF parameters. The simulation results agree with the light ray propagation in the DCF.
