The present invention relates to a cladding structure of an optical fiber
laser capable of allowing efficient optical pumping at a core of the
optical fiber laser using the concept of quantum chaos, and more
particularly, to a cladding structure of an optical fiber laser, which
enables efficient pumping in an optical fiber by constructing the
cladding in a non-integrable structure for causing quantum chaos so that
a pumping beam injected in the cladding can pass through a core of the
optical fiber as much as possible. To this end, the present invention
provides a cladding structure of an optical fiber laser having a core
formed of a laser medium and a cladding surrounding the core, wherein the
cladding has a sectional structure for causing non-integrable quantum
chaos so that a pumping beam injected in the cladding is reflected on the
boundary of the cladding and then pumps the core of the optical fiber
laser, and the structure for causing the non-integrable quantum chaos is
a structure having an unstable path on which upon injection of a beam, a
slight change of initial direction of the beam results in a completely
different subsequent advancing direction of the beam.
