Abstract
In this paper, the thermal characteristics of gain-guided and index-antiguided (GG-IAG) fiber amplifier were investigated with a 3-D heat flow model, based on rate equations. From the simulation results, it is found that the longitudinal heat conduction has a very important influence on the GG-IAG fiber amplifier temperature distribution, and the GG-IAG fiber amplifier would be subjected to a more serious thermal problem. Finally, the influence of different pump directions, cooling methods, cladding radius and negative refractive index step on the temperature distribution has also been studied.
