Single-polarization in-phase supermode operation in multicore fiber lasers

Two passive cores with elliptical air holes are introduced in the cladding of the active multicore fiber. The birefringence induced by the elliptical air holes lifts the degeneracy between two orthogonal in-phase supermodes, through the coupling between the passive and the active cores. For the proposed multicore fiber with an appropriate choice of the design parameters, the x-polarized in-phase supermode has more mode power in the active cores compared with the other supermodes. That in turn favors competition compared to the other supermodes with the low power density in the active cores. The numerical results show that the multicore fiber lasers can output a pure x-polarized in-phase supermode without using other mode-selective elements.     

Phase locking and in-phase supermode selection in monolithic multicore fiber lasers

We report a compact multicore fiber laser that utilizes an all-fiber approach for phase locking and in-phase supermode selection. By splicing passive coreless fibers of controlled lengths to both ends of an active 19-core fiber, we demonstrate that the fundamental in-phase supermode can be selectively excited with a completely monolithic fiber device, instead of conventional free-space and bulk optics, to achieve phase-locked operation for a multiemitter laser device.     

The in-phase mode selection of a high-power diode laser array by a talbot cavity with an amplitude compensator

The in-phase mode selection with the amplitude compensator at a high current (I > 20 A) was analyzed theoretically and achieved experimentally in an external Talbot cavity, of length L = Z_T/4. The used linear array consisted of 49 wide-aperture diodes with a diode emitter aperture a = 100 μm and a center to center period d = 200 μm. Increasing the output radiation intensity in the far-field central lobe was demonstrated, and the power of the multi-lobes was 1.57 W without the amplitude compensator and then it concentrated on the single lobe was 0.96 W by inserting the amplitude compensator in the external cavity when the injection current was 25 A. The far-field divergence of the phase locked radiation was 1.80 mrad, and the spectral FWHM of the output radiation was suppressed from 1.7 nm to 0.15 nm.     

Phase-locked supermode emissions from a dual multicore fiber laser

We report on a fiber laser configuration, emitting two phase-locked and single mode beams at the output of two multicore fibers. The passive technique is based both on the selective excitation of the only in-phase supermodes of the multicore fibers and on an intra-cavity angular filtering of the emitted beams to provide phase control. As a proof of principle, we experimentally demonstrate the coherent combining of the fundamental in-phase supermodes of two parallel 7-cores fibers.

Influence of fusion splice on high power ytterbium-doped fiber laser with master oscillator multi-stage power amplifiers structure

We have developed models to investigate the power properties of monolithic fiber laser with master oscillator multi-stage power amplifiers configuration. In the simulation the effect of optical characteristics of fiber fusion splice was considered, which was introduced by connecting fiber amplifiers. The theoretical modeling was established based on the classic theory of rate equations and the computational method was described in detail. On the basis of three high-power fiber lasers with different structures, we analyzed the splice loss and return loss, and how they influence the distribution of laser power in the system. The results showed that, on the present splicing level, both the enhancement of the pump capacity of fiber laser and the reduction of the quantity of power amplifier modules were effective strategies to accomplish fiber laser with tens of thousands of watts output.

The optimum length of linear cavity Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser

In order to improve the performance of the double-clad fiber laser, the optimum laser length needs to be estimated prior to the experiment. Previous expressions for the optimum length of fiber laser have been established under some assumptions, such as the output power without laser scattering loss and the pump power without reflection in the output-end. In this work, the issue of optimum laser length has been analyzed theoretically based on the strongly pumped fiber laser model. An extended expression for the optimum length of the linear cavity Yb³⁺-doped double-clad fiber laser is obtained. The respective effects of the laser scattering loss, the pump power, the Yb³⁺ dopant concentration, and the pump reflection on the optimum laser length are identified.     

Optimization of erbium-doped fiber MOPA laser

An erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) constructed in a master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA) configuration is analyzed. The pump powers for the fiber cavity laser and the booster amplifier stages are managed properly to achieve maximal pump conversion efficiency. Our design achieves a pump conversion efficiency of 91.4%, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 96.6%, for a 1565.8 nm MOPA laser pumped by a total power of 300 mW at 1480 nm. The optimized MOPA laser shows a 25% enhancement in the pump conversion efficiency, compared to a non-MOPA fiber laser. A side lobe suppression ratio of 48 dB for the optimized MOPA laser is observed.
