Active phase control in fiber amplifiers is of considerable interest for low-noise single-frequency amplifiers and for coherent beam combining. We demonstrate phase control at 1064 nm by use of an erbium-doped fiber. We investigated the phase shift by guiding the beam through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier in a Mach-Zehnder configuration and applied the results to stabilize the relative phase of two ytterbium-doped fiber amplifiers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an all-fiber coherent beam combining at 1064 nm employing an erbium-doped fiber as a phase actuator. 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

We investigate coherent beam combination of fibre laser beams by phase locking. Phase noise of a polarization maintaining ytterbium fibre amplifier is inspected with a fibre interferometer. In a feed back control loop, two fibre polarization maintaining ytterbium amplifiers are phase locked and coherent combined when the phase noise is properly controlled by a LiNO3 phase modulator. 相似文献

在光纤激光器阵列的相干合成技术中,主振荡并联放大器(MOPA)方案最关键的技术是对光纤放大器进行相位控制与校正。本文用两种方法分别对掺镱光纤放大器进行了相位控制与校正。一种是爬山法,通过自动寻优的方式不断改变相位调制器控制电压,使系统输出保持在干涉最强处;另一种是外差法,通过实时探测和校正光路中相位的变化,确保输出光束的相位一致。实验系统中主振荡激光器的波长为1 083 nm,输出功率0~100 mW连续可调。光纤相位调制器是铌酸锂相位调制器。光纤放大器输出功率0~1 W连续可调,整个光路为全保偏光路。爬山法系统的工作频率为100 kHz,控制精度为λ/10;外差法系统的移频量为40 MHz,精度优于λ/20。在两类闭环控制过程中,铌酸锂相位控制器都很好地实现了光纤放大器的相位校正。该工作为实现光纤激光器阵列的相干合成打下实验基础。 相似文献

We report what we believe to be the first experimental demonstration of coherent beam combining of two fiber amplifiers in a 100 ns pulse regime using a signal leak between the pulses. Pulses of ~100 W stimulated-Brillouin-scattering limited peak power are combined with 95% efficiency, a residual phase error of λ/27, and no significant beam quality degradation. 相似文献

We demonstrate a scalable architecture for coherent combining of all-fiber pulsed lasers with hybrid phase control involving
passive phasing and active phasing for the first time. Synchronized and passive phased pulsed laser array is built by intra-activity
phase modulation. Active phase control on the passive phased pulsed laser array using stochastic parallel gradient descent
algorithm provides stable in-phase coherent beam combining pattern in a turbulent atmosphere. The fringe visibility is increased
from 0 two 0.43 and the power encircled in the main-lobe is 1.616 times increased when the system evolves from passive phasing
to hybrid phasing. The architecture can be easily scaled up to high power by increasing power of each individual laser, number
of laser elements and introduction of power amplifiers, which will lead a promising way for scaleable high power coherent
beam combining of pulsed lasers. 相似文献

Using passive coherent beam combining of two ultrafast fiber amplifiers, we demonstrate the generation of high temporal quality 300 fs and 650 μJ pulses corresponding to 60 W of average power at a repetition rate of 92 kHz. Furthermore, at 2 MHz of repetition rate record coherent combining average powers of 135 W before and 105 W after compression are measured. A combining efficiency higher than 90% is maintained over the whole range of output powers and repetition rates investigated demonstrating the efficiency and robustness of the passive combining technique. The measured pulse-to-pulse relative power fluctuation at high energy is 2%, indicating that the system is essentially immune to environmental phase noise. We believe the passive combining method to be an attractive approach for compact multi-GW peak power femtosecond fiber-based sources. 相似文献

The generation of 0.5 mJ femtosecond laser pulses by coherent combining of two high power high energy fiber chirped-pulse amplifiers is reported. The system is running at a repetition frequency of 175 kHz producing 88 W of average power after the compressor unit. Polarizing beam splitters have been used to realize an amplifying Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which has been stabilized with a H?nsch-Couillaud measurement system. The stabilized system possesses a measured residual rms phase difference fluctuation between the two branches as low as λ/70 rad at the maximum power level. The experiment proves that coherent addition of femtosecond fiber lasers can be efficiently and reliably performed at high B-integral and considerable thermal load in the individual amplifiers. 相似文献

Coherent beam combining of hybrid phase control in master oscillator-power amplifier configuration 下载免费PDF全文
A novel scalable architecture for coherent beam combining with hybrid phase control involving passive phasing and active phasing in master oscillator-power amplifier configuration is presented. Wide-linewidth mutually injected passive phasing fibre laser arrays serve as master oscillators for the power amplifiers, and the active phasing using stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm is induced. Wide-linewidth seed laser can suppress the stimulated Brillouin scattering effectively and improve the output power of the fibre laser amplifier, while hybrid phase control provides a robust way for in-phase mode coherent beam combining simultaneously. Experiment is performed by active phasing fibre laser amplifiers with passive phasing fibre ring laser array seed lasers. Power encircled in the main-lobe increases1.57 times and long-exposure fringe contrast is obtained to be 78% when the system evolves from passive phasing to hybrid phasing. 相似文献

We demonstrate coherent beam combining of two femtosecond fiber chirped-pulse amplifiers seeded by a common oscillator. Using a feedback loop based on an electro-optic phase modulator, an average power of 7.2?W before compression is obtained with a combining efficiency of 90%. The spatial and temporal qualities of the oscillator are retained, with a recombined pulse width of 325?fs. This experiment opens up a way to scale the peak/average power of ultrafast fiber sources. 相似文献

Seeding high power fiber amplifier employing multi-tone fiber laser is an effective approach to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). In this paper, a two-stage 1064 nm high power fiber amplification system was set up. Single-, two- and three-tone fiber lasers were employed. SBS threshold powers and maximum output powers of the multi-tone cases are enhanced compared with the single-tone case. The multi-tone amplifiers also show comparable optical-to-optical efficiency to the single-tone amplifier. To demonstrate and validate coherence property of the two multi-tone fiber amplifiers, the output laser beams of the amplifiers were self-interfered in our self-made coherent beam combining system. The laser beams of the multi-tone cases showed good coherence property comparable to the single-tone case, which implied that the high power output laser light of the multi-tone fiber amplifiers could be used for coherent beam combining. 相似文献

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 beam combining of two
tiled-aperture single-frequency fibre amplifiers with a total output
power of 29.65~W by using the multi-dithering technique. The two laser
beams are packaged closely by using free-space mirrors side by side
into a tiled-aperture with a near-field fill factor of 62\%.
Active phase control of the amplifier is performed on commercially
available digital lock-in amplifiers. Experimental results show that
the power contained in the main-lobe in closed-loop is 1.72 times greater
than that in open-loop, which is 86\% for the ideal case. The
fringe contrast of the far-field fringe pattern is as high as 80\%
when the system is in closed-loop. The beam quality of the combined beam
is computed to be BQ = 1.48. The whole system in closed-loop performs
well in a long-time observation. 相似文献

We present a new approach for simultaneous spectral and coherent combining in a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration with active phasing. Spectrally combined single-frequency seed lasers are employed as a master oscillator for the all-fiber power amplifier chain, which provides robust performance suppressing of the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect, while coherent combining of spectrally combined amplifiers with active phase control provides stable in-phase combining, despite the strong phase fluctuation. In experiments, two spectrally combined seed MOPA chains are coherently combined with a total output power of 390 W. The power of the main lobe in the closed loop is two times of that value in the open loop, and visibility of more than 75% of the long-exposure interference pattern at the receiving plane is obtained. 相似文献
