摘要
We present optical designs allowing large mode area light guiding by ultrafast laser photoinscription of bulk fused silica. If usual concepts are based on large core and depressed cladding, evanescently coupled multicore wave-guides with coherent mode superposition can be effective solutions, where the introduction of nanostructured defects determines additional polarization functions.
