1064nm波长双向泵浦的S波段掺铥石英光纤放大器

研究了1 064 nm波长双向泵浦的掺铥石英光纤放大器（TDSFA）,测量了信号开关增益随泵浦功率和信号波长的变化情况.在最大入纤功率1 400 mW泵浦下,放大器在1 485~1 517 nm的较宽范围内具有放大能力,最大增益3.76 dB.分析表明,弱的基态吸收和强的激发态吸收限制了放大器增益的进一步提高,表明上转换泵浦的TDSFA是可行的.     

A Wide-Band Thulium-Doped Silica Fibre Amplifier

We investigate a silica-based thulium-doped fibre amplifier, which is a promising candidate for an amplifying device in the S band, in detail using a single wavelength upconversion pumping scheme centred at 1064nm. Our experimental results show that in terms of gain and noise figure, the bi-directional pumping scheme is the best one in the three pumping schemes, named forward, backward and hi-directional pumping schemes. The amplifier has a gain not only in the S band, but also in the C band, even in the L band. The gain is above 3dB from 1525nm to 1580nm with a peak of 7.SdB.     

LD-pumped 6 W cw Tm^3＋-Doped Silica Double-Cladding Fibre Laser

We report a thulium-doped silica fibre laser that generates a maximum cw output power of 6 W in a 2 μm wavelength range when cladding-pumped by a laser diode （LD） operating at approximately 791 nm at room temperature. The slope efficiency with respect to the launched pump power is 50% and 38.4%, with and without an output coupler mirror, respectively. The corresponding thresholds are 2.8 W and 4.8 W, respectively. The beam qualities Mx^2 and My^2 are 1.26 and 1.32, respectively. The experimental results are also analysed.

首先从掺铥光纤激光器的速率方程和光传输方程出发,建立数学模型,通过Matlab软件进行数值计算,分析了泵浦光和激光沿光纤的分布以及各能级离子数的变化.在不同掺杂浓度下,研究了小信号增益与入纤泵浦功率的关系以及泵浦光和激光功率与增益介质长度的关系.在不同泵浦功率下,研究了输出功率与输出耦合镜反射率的关系.进一步对不同泵浦吸收系数,研究了斜率效率和泵浦阈值与光纤长度的关系.分析结果表明存在最佳光纤长度和最佳耦合输出透过率,使得激光输出功率达到最佳值.
