We demonstrate coherent beam combining of two-dimensional fiber amplifier arrays with a total of 137 W output power using stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. Compact all-fiber polarization-maintained single frequency fiber amplifier chains are developed and four fiber amplifiers are arranged to 2 × 2 laser array with a fill factor of 70% in the near-field. Active phase control is implemented by a digital signal processor (DSP) based SPGD controller. The fringe visibility of the coherent combined beam profile is as high as 81% when the system is closed-loop controlled despite perturbations of the environment. 相似文献

We demonstrate coherent combining (phase locking) of seven laser beams emerging from an adaptive fiber-collimator array over a 7 km atmospheric propagation path using a target-in-the-loop (TIL) setting. Adaptive control of the piston and the tip and tilt wavefront phase at each fiber-collimator subaperture resulted in automatic focusing of the combined beam onto an unresolved retroreflector target (corner cube) with precompensation of quasi-static and atmospheric turbulence-induced phase aberrations. Both phase locking (piston) and tip-tilt control were performed by maximizing the target-return optical power using iterative stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) techniques. The performance of TIL coherent beam combining and atmospheric mitigation was significantly increased by using an SPGD control variation that accounts for the round-trip propagation delay (delayed SPGD). 相似文献

An erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) constructed in a master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA) configuration is analyzed. The pump powers for the fiber cavity laser and the booster amplifier stages are managed properly to achieve maximal pump conversion efficiency. Our design achieves a pump conversion efficiency of 91.4%, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 96.6%, for a 1565.8 nm MOPA laser pumped by a total power of 300 mW at 1480 nm. The optimized MOPA laser shows a 25% enhancement in the pump conversion efficiency, compared to a non-MOPA fiber laser. A side lobe suppression ratio of 48 dB for the optimized MOPA laser is observed. 相似文献

The random phase errors of the optical carriers are discussed and controlled for passive millimeter-wave sparse aperture (PMMW SA) upconversion imaging. A two-channel model is set up for analyzing charac- teristics of the phase errors, and an active optical control technique based on stochastic parallel gradient decent algorithm (SPGD controller) is proposed to calibrate the phase errors. To demonstrate the feasi- bility of the SPGD controller, simulations are performed and an experimental system with a two-channel fiber array is set up. Simulation and experiment results show that the SPGD controller can effectively and rapidly compensate the phase errors of the optical carrier, and the accuracy of the phase control is sufficient for imagine svstems. 相似文献

We demonstrate simultaneous spectral and coherent combining of a three-tone nine-channel all-fiber amplifier array with a total output power of 1.8 kW in a master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) configuration. Three single-frequency seed lasers are spectrally combined and employed as a master oscillator for an all-fiber power amplifier array, which provides robust performance on suppressing of the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect. Three-stage power amplifiers are employed to scale the power from tens of mW to more than 300 W. Active phase locking of the nine-channel spectrally combined amplifiers is implemented by using the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm. In the experiment, a nine-channel spectrally combined MOPA array is coherently combined with a total output power of 1.8 kW. The power in the main lobe in closed loop is 4.6 times the value in open loop, and an average visibility of more than 85 % of the interference pattern at the receiving plane is obtained. By only adding pump power in the main amplifiers, the total power of the array could scale up to more than 3 kW. 相似文献

Phase-Locked Fibre Array for Coherent Combination and Atmosphere Aberration Compensation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
We report a fibre amplifier array that not only achieves coherent beam combination by compensation of phase noises of fibre amplifier, but also accomplishes correction of atmosphere aberration. It is of master-oscillatormultiple-amplifier (MOPA) configuration, which can be phase-locked by the multidither principle or heterodyne detection principle. First laboratory experiments of atmosphere aberration compensation of a three-element fibre amplifier array are reported. The atmosphere aberration is created by a phase screen in the experiment. The phase changes of the beam, which are introduced by the fibre amplifier and the phase screen, are both detected by the heterodyne detection method. Phase modulators are controlled to compensate for the phase in the three paths. No matter whether there is a phase screen producing atmosphere aberration or not, the dim dynamic interference fringes in the far field turn to a clear and stable pattern, and the peak intensity is maximized. It is indicated that the fibre amplifier array is phase-locked, and coherent combination of the three beams is achieved. It can be used not only to obtain high power fibre laser array but also in laser space communication. 相似文献

We propose and demonstrate the wave front correction of a vortex laser beam by using dual phase only liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC-SLMs) and a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. One phase only LC-SLM is used to generate vortex laser beam by loading spiral phase screen onto the wave front of input quasi-Gaussian beam. The other phase only LC-SLM under SPGD controller based on the subzone control method adaptively compensates the wave front of vortex laser beam. Numerical simulation and experimental results show that after correction, vortex doughnut like beam is focused into a beam with airy disk pattern distribution in the far field. The adaptive corrections of vortex laser beam with different optical topological charges are studied. The results show that the optical topological charge has little influence on adaptive correction. The powers in the main lobe of far field intensity distributions of vortex laser beams with different optical topological charges are all greatly improved by adaptive correction. The technique proposed in this paper can be used in optical communication, relay mirror and atmospheric turbulence correction. 相似文献

We have demonstrated active coherent beam combination (CBC) of up to 218 semiconductor amplifiers with 38.5?W cw output using up to eleven one-dimensional 21-element individually addressable diode amplifier arrays operating at 960?nm. The amplifier array elements are slab-coupled-optical-waveguide semiconductor amplifiers (SCOWAs) set up in a master-oscillator-power-amplifier configuration. Diffractive optical elements divide the master-oscillator beam to seed multiple arrays of SCOWAs. A SCOWA was phase actuated by adjusting the drive current to each element and controlled using a stochastic-parallel-gradient-descent (SPGD) algorithm for the active CBC. The SPGD is a hill-climbing algorithm that maximizes on-axis intensity in the far field, providing phase locking without needing a reference beam. 相似文献

An adaptive optics system utilizing a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor and a deformable mirror can successfully correct a distorted
wavefront by the conjugation principle. However, if a wave propagates over such a path that scintillation is not negligible,
the appearance of branch points makes least-squares reconstruction fail to estimate the wavefront effectively. An adaptive
optics technique based on the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) control algorithm is an alternative approach which
does not need wavefront information but optimizes the performance metric directly. Performance was evaluated by simulating
a SPGD control system and conventional adaptive correction with least-squares reconstruction in the context of a laser beam
projection system. We also examined the relative performance of coping with branch points by the SPGD technique through an
example. All studies were carried out under the conditions of assuming the systems have noise-free measurements and infinite
time control bandwidth. Results indicate that the SPGD adaptive system always performs better than the system based on the
least-squares wavefront reconstruction technique in the presence of relatively serious intensity scintillations. The reason
is that the SPGD adaptive system has the ability of compensating a discontinuous phase, although the phase is not detected
and reconstructed. 相似文献

Coherent beam combination of adaptive fiber laser array with tilt-tip and phase-locking control 下载免费PDF全文
We present an experimental study on tilt-tip(TT) and phase-locking(PL) control in a coherent beam combination(CBC) system of adaptive fiber laser array.The TT control is performed using the adaptive fiber-optics collimator(AFOC),and the PL control is realized by the phase modulator(PM).Cascaded and simultaneous controls of TT and PL using stochastic parallel gradient descent(SPGD) algorithm are investigated in this paper.Two-fiber-laser-,four-fiber-laser-,and six-fiber-laser-arrays are employed to study the TT and PL control.In the cascaded control system,only one high-speed CMOS camera is used to collect beam data and a computer is used as the controller.In a simultaneous control system one high-speed CMOS camera and one photonic detector(PD) are employed,and a computer and a control circuit based on field programmable gate array(FPGA) are used as the controllers.Experimental results reveal that both cascaded and simultaneous controls of TT using AFOC and PL using PM in fiber laser array are feasible and effective.Cascaded control is more effective in static control situation and simultaneous control can be applied to the dynamic control system directly.The control signals of simultaneous PL and TT disturb each other obviously and TT and PL control may compete with each other,so the control effect is limited. 相似文献

Numerical and experimental study on coherent beam combining of fibre amplifiers using simulated annealing algorithm 下载免费PDF全文
We present the numerical and experimental study on
the coherent beam combining of fibre amplifiers by means of simulated
annealing (SA) algorithm. The feasibility is validated by the Monte
Carlo simulation of correcting static phase distortion using SA
algorithm. The performance of SA algorithm under time-varying phase
noise is numerically studied by dynamic simulation. It is revealed
that the influence of phase noise on the performance of SA algorithm
gets stronger with an increase in amplitude or frequency of phase
noise; and the laser array that contains more lasers will be more
affected from phase noise. The performance of SA
algorithm for coherent beam combining is also compared with a widely
used stochastic optimization algorithm, i.e., the stochastic
parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. In a proof-of-concept
experiment we demonstrate the coherent beam combining of two 1083~nm
fibre amplifiers with a total output power of 12~W and 93%
combining efficiency. The contrast of the far-field coherently
combined beam profiles is calculated to be as high as 95%. 相似文献

Coherent beam combining of two fibre amplifier chains with a total power of 260 W in a compact system using the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm is demonstrated. A 150 MHz linewidth fibre laser is built and introduced for high-power amplification to mitigate stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Compact high-power amplifier chains are built with low power all-fibre system and high-power bulk free-optics fibre amplifiers. When the total power is about 260 W, active phase-locking of two high-power amplifiers is demonstrated using the SPGD algorithm. In closed-loop, the power in the main lobe increases 1.68 times, the visibility is increased from 0 to 0.62, and the phase residual error is less than λ/10. 相似文献
