Recently great interest has been aroused by the development of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) can guide light inside the hollow core by photonic bandgap or inhibited-coupling mechanisms. HC-PCFs exhibit low propagation losses at 1.064 μm and the 1.51-1.60 μm range. The HC-PCFs are now implemented as an important tool of laser beam delivery in place of traditional single mode optical fibers. One of the problems arising from high-power injection in the optical fiber is the probability of triggering the fiber fuse effect. This effect is related to a heat conduction process in optical fibers. The unsteady-state thermal conduction process in several HC-PCFs (revolver fibers) for high-power transmission was studied theoretically by the explicit finite-difference method using the thermochemical SiOx production model. For heat conduction analysis, the complicated inner structure of revolver fiber was simplified using the model composed of silica-ring and air-hole layers. The calculated velocities of fiber fuse propagation in two types of polymer-coated revolver fibers were in fair agreement with the experimental values. If the polymer coating of the revolver fiber is removed, the Fresnel reflection at the outer surface of the support tube occurs and the back-reflected light wave is incident upon the silica capillaries and the hollow core. To clarify the in-phase condition, we estimated phase changes of optical routes in the uncoated revolver fiber. It was found that the reflected waves from the outer surfaces of the silica capillary and support tube are in phase at the core-capillary boundary, and they are mutually enhanced as a consequence of the constructive interference. As a result, the power in the hollow core and the silica capillary was improved for the uncoated revolver fiber compared with the polymer-coated one. The calculated velocity of fiber fuse propagation in the uncoated revolver fiber was in fair agreement with the experimental value.
