Research of the Mode Instability Threshold in High Power Double Cladding Yb‐doped Fiber Amplifiers

We experimentally investigate the behavior of the mode instability (MI) threshold in the double cladding Yb‐doped fiber amplifier when the amplifier is pumped by broad linewidth laser diodes and narrow linewidth laser diodes respectively. It is found that the MI threshold increases by 26% when the amplifier is pumped by the broad linewidth laser diodes. Experiment results show that the MI threshold is affected by the local heat load rather than the average or the total heat load. The calculation shows that the local heat deposit actually plays the key role to stimulate the MI behaviour. At the MI threshold position in the fiber, the local heat deposit also changes dramatically. The effect of the thermal conductivity on the MI threshold is also studied. Our investigation shows that the MI threshold increases from 1269 W to 1950 W when the thermal conductivity of the fiber amplifier is increased from 0.3  to 5 . Through optimizing the pump linewidth and the cooling efficiency of the gain fiber, the MI threshold is doubled in our experiment.     

光纤放大器放大自发辐射特性与高温易损点位置

Thermo-Optical Effects and Fiber Optic Sensing Device Based on Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals

In this article, the thermo-optical properties of polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) in confined geometry are experimentally investigated to demonstrate the feasibility of a fiber optic sensing device based on PDLCs.

Since an unexpected behavior of PDLCs in confined geometry has been experienced, a systematic study of PDLCs' thermo-optical properties in bulk is presented also to point out principal differences. Finally, bistable all fiber optic temperature sensors, in which a PDLC permits at the same time the opto-mechanical interconnection of two fibers and the modulation of light crossing the device, has been realized and characterized, for the first time. Being the modulation controlled by external temperature, the device has been proven to be suitable for the realization of a heat flow sensor. The sensor presents the typical advantages of both fiber optic sensors and liquid crystal technology.

Moreover, due to its small thermal capacity, it should exhibit little influence on thermal equilibrium and, above all, it represents a significant improvement compared to a temperature fiber optic sensor based on liquid crystals (presented in the literature).

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.
