Abstract

The 7×1 end-pumped pump combiners employing 105/125 μm multimode fibers as pump fibers are investigated. Based on the results of our theoretical analysis, sufficient taper length (TL) and low refractive index (RI) of the capillary have been adopted to fabricate high transmission efficiency combiners. A 7×1 end-pumped pump combiner with an average transmission efficiency of 98.9% and a total return loss of 1.1‰ is fabricated in experiments, which could find its application in high-power fiber laser systems.
