✦ Synopsis

The paper presents a new way of side pumping double-clad fibers. Elaborated asymmetric polished couplers are presented. By using these couplers in pumping power set-ups of double-clad fiber very good pumping efficiency a very good efficiency was attained. The experimental and numerical optimizations of designed couplers are presented.

A complete theoretical study of double-clad fiber amplifiers is proposed. The notion of chaotic propagation is taken into account in order to improve the pumping process. In addition, a space-time algorithm is used to optimize the distribution of rare-earth dopant in the double-clad fiber. Finally,

We have investigated side-polished fiber coupler made of a hollow optical fiber (HOF) with a ring core. It is theoretically shown that the large mode size and the weakly guiding property of the HOF makes it easy to excite the evanescent field by the side-polishing technique. Analytic equation to cal
