We review our work on leaky optical fiber designs. These designs include large-mode-area fibers, dual-core resonant leaky fibers and dual-shape fibers. The fibers have been designed for applications in high data rate communication systems, high power optical amplifiers and lasers and gain equalization of optical amplifiers. The fiber designs are based on structured cladding. The structuring has been carried out in radial and/or angular direction to control the leakage losses of the modes of the fiber. Our large-mode-area designs work on the principle of higher-order mode discrimination, and gain equalization fiber designs utilize wavelength tunable leakage loss characteristics. We have used transfer matrix method and radial effective index method for the analysis of the fibers. Some of the designs have been fabricated to demonstrate the working principles of the structures.
