Device system
Technical field
The invention belongs to optical fiber laser fields, are related specifically to a kind of based on soft glass optical fiber covering 2-10 mu m waveband times
The mid-infrared fiber laser system of meaning wavelength.
Background technique
So far, the research of optical fiber laser is concentrated mainly on near-infrared and is especially 1.06 μm and 1.55 mu m wavebands,
Output power has been approached the theoretical limit that material can bear.In recent years, wavelength is greater than 2 μm of middle infrared band optical fiber laser
Increasingly it is taken seriously.Infrared band laser is in many necks such as biomedicine, national defence, environmental protection and public safety in 2-10 μm
Domain, which has, to be widely applied.For example, the 2.8-3.2 μm of most strong absorption bands for having corresponded to water in tissue, are optimal laser doctors
Learn to do art wave-length coverage.3.0-5.0 μm penetrates window for atmosphere, and the laser of this wave band can be used for infrared imaging illumination, orientation
Infrared counteraction and atmosphere pollution monitoring etc..The laser of the 2.5-10 μm of functional group region and fingerprint region for molecule, this wave band is available
In chemical substance identification, drugs detection, the detection of trace hazardous gas and the painless diognose of disease etc..
The laser of middle infrared band, in addition to optical fiber laser, there are also semiconductor quantum cascade lasers, parametric oscillation
Device, Transition-Metal Ions solid state laser and gas laser etc. respectively have different advantageous features.In contrast, infrared in
Optical fiber laser has many advantages, such as high reliability, high brightness, high efficiency, easy heat radiation, coherently combined easy to maintain and easy to accomplish, more
More to cause the attention of academia and industrial circle.
Mid-infrared fiber laser mainly has the classes such as rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser and Raman fiber lasers at present
Type.The representative er-doped fluoride optical fiber laser and 2.9 for having 2.7-2.8 mu m waveband in rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser
Mu m waveband mixes holmium fluoride fiber laser etc..Wherein the maximum average power of 2.8 μm of erbium doped fiber lasers has reached tens of
Watt magnitude.But rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser can only cover and correspond to the several of a small number of rare earth ion particular level transition
A wave band;Moreover, being limited by the radiationless relaxation of matrix material of optic fibre phonon, rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser is difficult to realize
Mid-infrared laser greater than 5 μm.
Raman fiber lasers generate laser based on the stimulated Raman scattering process of optical fiber, and output wavelength is in pumping wave
Single order or multistage Stokes shift on the basis of length, thus optical maser wavelength flexibility and changeability, and wide coverage.It is drawn using cascade
The wide raman gain spectrum of graceful effect and gain media is, it can be achieved that broadband tunable laser exports.Theoretically, the suitable pumping of selection
Wavelength can realize that laser exports in any wave band using stimulated Raman scattering.Raman laser power depends primarily on pumping source function
Rate, Raman gain and efficiency, the damage threshold of optical fiber and to inhibition of other nonlinear effects etc., have very big promotions sky
Between.
The research of Raman fiber laser focuses primarily upon near infrared band at present, has also realized kW grades of laser output,
As the important optical fiber laser being complementary to one another with rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser.Compared near infrared band, Raman light
Fine light technology is even more important in middle infrared band, because middle infrared band is by the rare earth ion doped laser for achieving over 4-5 μm
Export particularly difficult, and the laser wave number of middle infrared band is small, so that wider wavelength model can be achieved under same Raman frequency shift
The laser output enclosed.
Although Raman fiber laser technology is most important in middle infrared band, and middle infrared band needs Raman fiber to swash
Light technology provides new output wavelength, but so far, middle infrared Raman optical-fiber laser development is relatively slow, and the country is especially such as
This.Mainly since very good solution is not yet received around a series of underlying issues of middle infrared Raman Fiber laser technology,
Especially it is the absence of the Raman gain optical fiber with ultra-low loss and ultra-wide transmission range.
In conclusion the development of middle infrared Raman Fiber laser technology relatively lags.Some well-known sections in the world
Though grinding mechanism has been achieved with some progress, there are two clearly disadvantageous places: experiment obtains raman laser wavelength at 4 μm
Hereinafter, being essentially blank in more long-wave band;Laser output power is lower, and maximum only has several watts of magnitudes.Domestic centering infrared Raman
The research of optical-fiber laser is at the early-stage, there is not yet more influential experimental result is reported.Currently, middle infrared Raman optical-fiber laser without
By being in compared with infrared rare earth ion doped optical fiber laser, or compared with near-infrared Raman fiber laser, in highest
Power, laser output form and tunability etc. seem backward.
