    Abstract

    High mode discrimination and large mode area in fibers are key technical challenges for the generation and transmission of high-power radially polarized field (RPF) laser. Based on this, a novel method for the design of a radially polarized field fiber is proposed. By introducing a circularly symmetrical radially distributed thermal stress field into the core of the fiber, a radial birefringence effect can be realized in the core, which effectively breaks the degeneracy between polarization modes in conventional optical fibers. The effective index difference among TM01, TE01, and HE21 modes is of the order of 10 -4. This allows the TM01 radial polarization mode to be separated. In addition, a large mode area design for the TM01 mode field can be achieved by using the proposed RPF fiber.
