ABSTRACT:
A method of making an optical fiber article can include providing an optical fiber including at least a core; providing a preform; and subsequent to the foregoing providing of the optical fiber and the preform, drawing the preform so as to dispose a region about the optical fiber. An optical fiber article can include a core; a pump cladding disposed about the core, the pump cladding for propagating pump light; and a second cladding disposed about the pump cladding, where the second cladding can provide a photonic bandgap for tending to confine pump light to a region about which the second cladding is disposed. The second cladding can comprise a plurality of layers including a first layer having a different optical property than a second layer, and the plurality of layers can be arranged as to provide the photonic bandgap effect.
