Abstract
We theoretically and experimentally analyze the benefit of hetero-structured
cladding in Solid-Core Photonic BandGap fibers so as to increase the loss ratio between
high order modes and fundamental mode. This property is applied to the realization of
19-cells core fibers practically single-mode around 1050 nm. When designed to operate in
the 4th BandGap, a new design is proposed which permits to obtain mode field diameter of
44 μm whereas, for operation in the 3rd BandGap, a mode field diameter of 33
μm is obtained with 20 cm bending radius. The impact of the shape of
hetero-structure on single-mode behavior is discussed.
