Abstract
We numerically calculate the coupling loss coefficients of Laser Diode (LD) to high numerical aperture (HNA) thermally expanded core (TEC) fiber coupling in terms of lateral, longitudinal and angular misalignments. The propagating fields in the HNA-TEC fiber are obtained by Galerkin’s method and the coupling loss coefficients are calculated by the overlap integral technique. Our numerical results are compared with recently available experimental data. It is demonstrated that, in HNA-TEC fibers the lateral and longitudinal tolerances were effectively enlarged in comparison with those of conventional SMF-28. It is also found that TEC fibers are good candidates for free-space LD-to-fiber optical coupling scheme with long working distance. However, the angular tolerance of the HNA-TEC fiber is lower than that of the SMF-28.
