Abstract
We demonstrate the fabricating method for Yb 3+ -doped silica glass and double-cladding large mode area photonic crystal fiber (LMA PCF) based on laser sintering technology combined with a liquid phase doping method. The doped material prepared shows the amorphous property and the hydroxyl content is approximately 40 ppm. The attenuation of the fabricated LMA PCF is 14.2 dB m −1 at 976 nm, and the lowest value is 0.25 dB m −1 at 1200 nm. The laser slope efficiency is up to 70.2%.Keywords
