Abstract
AbstractWe have prepared an ultra‐large core, high numerical aperture (NA) chalcogenide (ChG) step‐index fiber (SIF) with a mode area of >43 600 μm2at the wavelength of 5.5 μm by an improved extrusion method. The fiber based on two ChG glasses with similar softening temperature has a core diameter of 339.0 μm and ultra‐thin cladding. The fiber exhibits a minimum loss of 1.75 dB/m at 9.74 μm and an optical loss of <5.0 dB/m from 5.3 to 10.8 μm. Broadband supercontinuum (SC) covering from 1.2 μm to 13.7 μm has been generated in a 17‐cm‐long ultra‐large mode area fiber with large core and high NA. All these show that, the fiber possesses the potential for high‐power infrared laser transmission.
