采用角度磨抛的方式, 在纤芯/包层为20/400 μm双包层掺Yb光纤上制作了侧面抽运耦合器. 该耦合器对975 nm的半导体二极管抽运光的耦合效率最高可达97%, 对1080 nm信号光的泄漏比小于2%. 分析了侧面抽运耦合器的性能以及多个侧面抽运耦合器的级联分布对抽运耦合效率的影响; 同时, 在前向抽运和双向抽运方式下, 分析了级联耦合器的分布及信号光泄漏比对激光器整体效率的影响, 并进行了数值模拟. 采用自行研制的侧面抽运耦合器, 搭建了侧面耦合分布式抽运、掺Yb双包层全光纤主振荡功率放大器, 获得了波长为1080 nm、功率为303 W 的基模激光输出. 进一步增加抽运点个数, 提高抽运功率, 可获得更高的输出功率.     

Are operators describing b→sγ？

The operators of b→sγ, b→sl⁺l^- are usually regarded as being sufficient to describe b→sγγ, b→sl⁺l^-γ with the statement that contributions from diagrams without an effective vertex b→sγ to processes b→sγγ and b→sl⁺l^-γ are negligible. In this work we present a comprehensive analysis of the transition b→sγγ and find that 1) Effects due to off-shell quarks in vertex b→sγ on b→sγγ are large; 2) Contributions from diagrams without an effective vertex b→sγ to b→sγγ are not negligible compared with others; 3) These effects cancel each other out exactly, so the operators of b→sγ can safely be used to describe b→sγγ.     

Thermal expanded core technique applied to high power fiber mode field adapter

A mode field adapter(MFA) fabricated by the thermal expanded core(TEC) technique is investigated. Firstly, the mode field characteristics of the TEC large mode area fiber(LMAF) are analyzed. Compared with the single-mode fiber(SMF), the mode field diameter of the LMAF enlarged slower than that of the SMF. Secondly, the mode field characteristics of the different fibers with TEC treatment are discussed. Thirdly, the transmission efficiency of the MFA fabricated by the SMF and LMAF is also investigated. Finally, we used the 6/125 μm SMF and 15/130 μm LMAF to fabricate an MFA with transmission efficiency of 92% and the handling power as high as 100 W.
