DLA光源质量对光栅-外腔谱合成系统光束质量的影响

在二极管激光阵列(DLA)光栅-外腔谱合成系统中,由于DLA存在子单元光束发散角、“smile”效应的位置偏差及指向性偏差等因素的综合作用,将导致合成光束的光束质量降低。综合考虑DLA子单元光束发散角、“smile”效应等因素对谱合成系统中光束传输特性的影响,建立了DLA光栅-外腔谱合成系统的光传输模型,进而对谱合成系统中DLA子单元光束发散角、“smile”效应的位置偏差及指向性偏差等因素对合成光束的光束质量影响进行了定量分析。结果表明,DLA光源质量会明显影响合成光束的光束质量：DLA子单元光束发散角和“smile”效应引入的指向性偏差越大,合成光束的光束质量就越差;“smile”效应引入的位置偏差在合束方向上对合成光束的光束质量没有影响,而在非合束方向上引入的位置偏差将会明显降低合成光束的光束质量。在实际工作应用中,需要采取措施提高DLA光源质量,以减小对合成光束的光束质量影响。

Analysis of beam quality for the laser beams after spectral beam combining

The beam quality of the laser beams after spectral beam combining (SBC) has been analyzed in this paper. Based on the propagation model of the spectral beam combining system, the expression for the output field of an individual beam passing through the spectral beam combining system with lens aberration has been given and the intensity distribution of the combined beam has been studied by the principle of incoherent superposition. Consequently, according to the intensity second-order moments method, the M²-factor of the combined beam has been calculated and the effect of lens aberration on the characteristics of the combined beam has been analyzed quantitatively. It can be shown that the SBC system can improve the beam quality of laser array significantly, and the M²-factor of the combined beam passing through the ideal spectral beam combining system is almost the same as that of an individual beam. For the spectral beam combining system with lens aberration, the spherical aberration has greater effect on the off-axis beam than on the on-axis beam, and the beam quality of combined beam degrades with increase in lens aberration.

Influence of spectral dispersion parameters on the beam smoothing performance of a diffractive optical element

In this paper, a theoretical model to analyze the beam smoothing performance, realized by the smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD) and the diffractive optical element (DOE), is set up with the use of the spatial frequency spectra of the far-field intensity distribution. The influences of the parameters of the SSD, for example, the frequency of the electrical field, the integration time and the angular dispersion of the diffraction grating, on the beam smoothing performance of the DOE are numerically analyzed. Furthermore, the phase distortion is considered, and the simulated results show the phase distortion should be changed during the integration time in order to obtain a good performance of beam smoothing.     

Suppression of the interactions between fibre gratings used as dispersion compensators in dense wavelength-division multiplexing systems

Chirped fibre Bragg gratings (CFBGs) are required to be concatenated to compensate the fibre dispersion in the dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. When the channel spacing is small, the performance of CFBGs is degraded, which restricts the usage of fibre gratings. The origin of the interactions between the gratings is analysed and methods of suppressing the interactions are also proposed.

Propagation characteristics of the Yb-doped fiber lasers after spectral beam combining by the VBGs

The propagation model for the spectral beam combining system of five Yb-doped fiber laser beams by the volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) has been built up. Considering the surface distortion by thermal effect, the intensity of an individual beam passing through the spectral beam combining system by the VBGs with deformation has been analyzed numerically and iteratively by using finite-different and sparse matrix methods, and the intensity of combined beam has been studied by the principle of incoherent superposition. Consequently, according to the intensity second-order moments method, the M²-factor of the combined beam has been calculated. The effects of deformation of the VBGs on the intensity, the combining efficiency, the M²-factor and the power in the bucket of the combined beam have been analyzed quantitatively. It can be shown that the effects of the deformation of the VBGs on the intensity distribution of combined beam become more and more obvious with the increasing of the deformation of the VBGs. The results show that the surface distortion of the VBGs due to high-power lasers dramatically degrades both the beam quality of the combined beam and the combining efficiency of the spectral beam combining system.
