基于MOPA结构的1120nm掺Yb光纤放大器

基于主振荡功率放大器,采用1120nm光纤激光器作为种子激光,将其注入20m大模场面积单模双包层掺Yb光纤放大器,并用976nm半导体激光器泵浦实现了1 120nm信号光输出.实验中将注入种子激光功率预设为10mW,当半导体激光器泵浦功率增大至1.5 W时,放大器系统开始输出1 120nm信号光.当泵浦功率低于3.4W时,信号光功率随泵浦功率缓慢增长,系统斜率效率较低;而当泵浦功率高于3.4W时,信号光功率随泵浦功率线性增长,斜率效率明显增大,达到48.5%.限于最大注入泵浦功率为6.8W,放大器输出最高1 120nm信号光功率为1.97W,总的光-光转化效率为29%.输出信号光中心波长为1 120.89nm,线宽为0.02nm,极好地保持了种子激光的特性.结合实验情况,利用双包层光纤放大器的稳态理论模型,采用有限差分方法模拟了放大器输出信号光功率随泵浦光功率的变化曲线,结果显示理论模拟所得变化趋势与实验结果吻合良好,系统将在泵浦功率达到200W左右时达到饱和状态,说明目前光纤放大器系统具有很大的功率提升空间.

Realization of an efficient coherent combination via Michelson cavity

An intracavity coherent coupling Michelson erbium-doped fibre (EDF) laser (MCEDFL) is proposed and demonstrated. By using this laser system, we find a means to obtain a maximum power output at the same pumping power level. From the experiment based on fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) with different reflectivities from 6{\%} to 100{\%}, we find that the reflectivity of the FBG plays a vital role in improving the performance of the MCEDFL. At the same time, the MCEDFL with a polarizer can be coherently combined effectively. This type of system, in principle, is compatible with other more powerful pumping methods, such as cladding pumping, and brings some novel perspectives to the realization of high power lasers.

主振荡功率放大 (MOPA)短脉冲光纤激光系统的偏振特性研究

对自行研制的MOPA（master oscillator power amplifier）结构短脉冲双包层光纤激光系统（2W,35ps）的偏振特性进行了系统的研究。分别研究了种子源激光和经过包层泵浦放大后输出激光在连续工作和脉冲输出情况下的偏振特性,结果表明在不加偏振控制措施情况下,系统输出为椭圆偏振光,偏振度和偏振角都容易受到光纤扰动的影响;在激光腔内加入起偏器后,输出线偏振光,偏振态相对比较稳定,但是偏振角度仍然容易受到光纤扰动的影响,可以加偏振控制器加以改善。实验证明,经过高功率放大后,输出激光的偏振态稳定性有一定程度的下降,在进行激光相干合成前需进一步加以控制。
