Abstract

We report a large mode area photonic crystal fiber with a flat-top mode field. The optical fiber has a multi-layer square structure with air holes and doped layer. A flat and top-hat-like mode intensity profile is provided through the reasonable design of the doped layer. The modal characteristics including effective mode area, dispersion, bending loss, confinement loss and field profile are investigated. The proposed fiber with a top-hat mode generation has potential applications in laser drilling, laser cleaning, imaging, spectroscopy, and so on.
