Abstract

The invention provides a multi-clad fiber, with three claddings or more, where at least one intermediate cladding is inserted between an inner core and an outer core of the multi-clad fiber, for enlarging the cross-section of the fiber core or for increasing the dopant density in the core. The invention also provides an intermediate cladding having a multi-layer structure to better confine the pump power in a suitable pumping region of the fiber.
