Abstract
In this paper, comprehensive analyses of triple-clad fibers are presented. The geometry of multiple-clad fibers has been considered as a four-layer cylindrical structure. The geometry consists of a core and three claddings. We have analyzed and compared different types of triple-clad refractive index profiles on the basis of dispersion, mode distribution and propagation constant. To enhance the optical characteristics of these three fibers, we have developed a combined formulation which is applicable for single-clad, double clad and triple-clad optical fibers. In optical fibers, two or more claddings are required for dispersion shifting, dispersion flattening and other specialized applications. Thus, an analysis of design dispersion-shifted, dispersion-flattened and dispersion-compensated fibers is presented. We have used a boundary match method for evaluating propagation wave vectors and guided modes.
