ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber has a fiber core which includes a step index core portion and a graded index core portion located substantially around the step index core portion. The optical fiber also has a cladding located substantially around the graded index core portion and an outer jacket located substantially around the cladding. The optical fiber design allows high power laser transmission which minimizes modal-dispersion problems and delivers improved high power fiber-delivered beam quality.
