Theoretical analysis of the heat dissipation mechanism in high power photonic crystal fiber lasers

Starting from the special structure of photonic crystal fiber (PCF), the heat dissipation model of a PCF laser is constructed. Based on the heat dissipation model, the temperature distributions along the radial and axial directions of the PCF (DC-Yb-17040) for forward pump of 200 W and two-end pump of 100 W each side are calculated numerically by using the finite element method (FEM). The results show that the temperature distribution for two-end pump mode is more even than that for forward pump mode and the maximum temperature in the fiber decreases by 178.16 °C. With the thermal power in fiber core being assumed to be fixed, the effects of the core radius, outer cladding radius, and air-clad width on the temperature distribution along the fiber are analyzed numerically. The results show that the changing of core radius only affects the temperature in core region slightly and the decreasing of air-clad width decreases the temperature in inner cladding and core regions effectively. Meanwhile, the temperature of the whole fiber can be decreased by increasing the cladding radius.     

Theoretical analysis and heat dissipation of mid-infrared chalcogenide fiber Raman laser

Based on the structure of mid-infrared chalcogenide fiber Raman laser, the nonlinear coupled equations and heat dissipation equations are constructed. The effects of laser parameters including pump power, fiber length, reflectance of output coupler and fiber loss coefficient on laser performance are numerically analyzed. The results show that the Raman laser pumped at 2 μm can operate at high slope efficiency using the optimized structure parameters. In addition, the output laser power decreases dramatically with the increasing of fiber loss coefficient. Moreover, the temperature distributions along the fiber radial and axial directions and the maximum temperature versus launched pump power are calculated according to the heat dissipation equations. The results show that the maximum temperature in the fiber increases dramatically with the increasing launched pump power, which is above 300 °C for launched pump power of 21 W. The above obtained results can be used for theoretical guiding and optimizing design of practical chalcogenide fiber Raman laser.     

Numerical analysis of Ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber lasers based on the temperature-dependent rate equation

The effects of temperature on the output power and optimal conditions of Ytterbium-doped double-cladding fiber lasers (YDDFLs) are discussed. Temperature-dependent rate equations for YDDFLs based on Boltzmann distribution are built in two-end pump model. The results show that the output power and the slope efficiency decrease with the increase of temperature. The increase of pump power results in that the effect of the temperature on the output performance increases, and the fiber length is a factor that the effect of the temperature depends on really. Moreover we combine the heat distribution formula with the rate equations and compare the numerical results considering with that not considering the temperature-dependence inside laser cavity, the effect of temperature can be ignored only when the pump power is lower, and the optimal fiber length becomes longer when considering the temperature-dependence.
