Description

Reverse pumping high-power optical fiber amplifier
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high-power fiber lasers, in particular to a reverse pumping high-power fiber amplifier.
Background
With the continuous development of ultra-fast laser performance in recent decades, the application prospect of high-energy and high-peak power femtosecond lasers in science, medical treatment, industry and the like is more and more concerned, and the requirements on reliability, power, flexible repetition rate and price are higher and higher. Because of the excellent characteristics of the optical fiber, such as cost effectiveness, special compactness, high stability, especially ytterbium-doped fiber lasers, the optical pump efficiency and the large gain bandwidth are high. The development of fiber lasers has made tremendous progress by employing chirped pulse amplification techniques. The high-energy ultrafast femtosecond laser system has great demands in various fields such as high-precision industrial processing, clinical surgery, high-harmonic generation and the like.
However, due to the small mode field area and long transmission length limitations, the pulse energy and peak power scale of ultrafast fiber lasers are severely limited by unwanted nonlinear effects. In general, the threshold for nonlinear effects is proportional to the mode field diameter and inversely proportional to the length of the mode field. However, the increase of the fiber mode field diameter causes the occurrence of higher order modes, which deteriorates the quality of the output beam, and thus the fiber mode field diameter cannot be arbitrarily increased to mitigate the nonlinear effect. In previous studies, large mode field fibers with specially designed thermal transistor-inhibiting structures have been developed to increase pulse energy and peak power of ultrafast lasers, such as photonic crystal fibers, large-pitch fibers, and chiral coupling core fibers. Among them, photonic crystal fiber is a promising technology that can amplify ultra-short pulses to high average power and attenuate nonlinear accumulation during amplification. The laser output with high energy needs to rely on the pump light input with high power and the main amplifying optical fiber with high gain, compared with the traditional signal light and pump light which are amplified by the optical fiber combiner in the same direction coupling way, the beam power born by the reverse pumping technology can reach hundreds of watts, and the research has proved that the gain efficiency of the reverse pumping technology is high compared with that of the forward pumping technology. The reverse pumping technology is to collect the pump light into the cladding of the main amplifying stage fiber after the collimation of the space optical system, so that the pump light continuously oscillates in the cladding to achieve high gain benefit.
In order to obtain the beam quality output light spot with the near diffraction limit, the traditional method generally comprises the steps of fixing the relative positions of an optical fiber coupling collimation device and a rear-stage optical path, then connecting the optical fiber coupling collimation device and the rear-stage optical path in an optical fiber welding mode, wherein the on-site treatment, packaging and protection of the external melting point of the high-power optical fiber, thermal effect control and integral control of a pumping optical system become key factors for power improvement of the high-power laser, but the on-site environment pollution prevention requirement is high, the operation is complex, the fault tolerance is low, and the reliability is difficult to guarantee.
The existing high-power fiber laser with a reverse pumping mode has the following problems:
(1) The signal light with higher power formed by optical fiber coupling under high pumping power can radiate into the semiconductor laser, so that the device is damaged;
(2) The thermal effect at the connection of the end cap and the amplifying-stage optical fiber cannot be precisely controlled, so that the mode is unstable;
(3) The influence of environmental factors in the free space optical path, such as air dust, external vibration, noise, pumping waste heat, low pumping efficiency, unstable output beam and the like;
(4) When different lens coupling combinations are needed to be replaced, the lens combinations cannot be uniformly collimated by the same device, and the device is correspondingly changed when the focal length lens combinations are replaced.

Specifically, a signal output optical fiber for transmitting signal light is connected between the seed source and the amplifying-stage optical fiber, wherein the amplifying-stage optical fiber comprises a photonic crystal optical fiber, a large-mode-field double-cladding optical fiber, a single-crystal optical fiber and the like, and can be selected according to different signal light wavelengths.

In the case of a high-power signal light output, if only one side of the dichroic mirror is provided, the dichroic mirror is a dichroic mirror (a mirror coated on both sides), and the coating characteristics are high transmittance to pump light and high reflectance to signal light, but the accuracy of coating is not high enough to reflect 100% of signal light at present, for example, the accuracy of coating is 98% to reflect 2% of signal light, and in this case, when the output power is 100W, light of approximately 2W enters the pump source-semiconductor laser, and the device is damaged. In order to solve the isolation problem under the high signal light output in the optical fiber coupling under the high pumping power, the invention combines two double-color mirrors to form a simple isolator under the signal light wavelength so as to prevent the high signal light from radiating into the pumping source-semiconductor laser and damaging the device.

Specifically, a signal output optical fiber for transmitting signal light is connected between the seed source and the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22, and the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22 includes a photonic crystal optical fiber, a large-mode-field double-cladding optical fiber, a single-crystal optical fiber, and the like, and can be selected according to different signal light wavelengths. The seed source can be input by fiber lasers with different wave bands, including but not limited to ytterbium-doped 1030nm seed source, erbium-doped 1550nm laser and the like. In the system, an optical fiber laser or a semiconductor laser is adopted, and the wavelength of a signal light output by a seed source is matched with that of the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22.
The output end of the pump source is connected with a pump output optical fiber for transmitting pump light, in a specific embodiment, a semiconductor laser is used as the pump light source, the output power of the pump light source is up to 400W, and the pump light is collimated and focused by combining a backward pump (forward direction refers to the transmission direction of signal light sent by the seed source) with a spatial light collimating focusing assembly, so that the pump light is incident into the cladding of the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22 with the optimal spot size and proper numerical aperture.
The reverse pumping is to output the pumping light in space, collimate and focus by using a space lens combination, and finally couple the pumping light into the inner cladding of the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22, and the diameter of the inner cladding is several times of that of the fiber core, so that the coupling efficiency of the pumping light can be improved by tens of times, the loss of the pumping light during the optical fiber coupling can be reduced, the pulse amplification efficiency can be improved, and meanwhile, most of the pumping is absorbed and consumed, and the heat radiation of the residual light is reduced.
The working principle of the reverse pumping high-power optical fiber amplifier in the invention is as follows:
The signal light output by the seed source is transmitted through the signal output optical fiber and positively enters the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22, the pump light output by the pump source enters the outer shell 1 through the pump output optical fiber, the pump light is collimated through the first lens 5, focused through the first dichroic mirror 6 and the second dichroic mirror 7 and then reversely input into the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22 after passing through the end cap 18, the amplifying-stage optical fiber 22 carries out coupling amplification on the received pump light and the signal light and positively outputs the amplified signal light (the positive direction refers to the transmission direction of the signal light sent by the seed source), and the amplified signal light is collimated through the second lens 8 and then reflected and output through the first dichroic mirror 6 and the second dichroic mirror 7.
In the case of a high-power signal light output, if only one side of the dichroic mirror is provided, the dichroic mirror is a dichroic mirror (a mirror coated on both sides), and the coating characteristics are high transmittance to pump light and high reflectance to signal light, but the accuracy of coating is not high enough to reflect 100% of signal light at present, for example, the accuracy of coating is 98% to reflect 2% of signal light, and in this case, when the output power is 100W, light of approximately 2W enters the pump source-semiconductor laser, and the device is damaged. In order to solve the isolation problem under the high signal light output in the optical fiber coupling under the high pumping power, the invention combines two double-color mirrors to form a simple isolator under the signal light wavelength so as to prevent the high signal light from radiating into the pumping source-semiconductor laser and damaging the device.
In addition, in order to solve the problem that the unit area of the pump light receiving surface receives power under high-power pumping, the heat generated by the pumping surface is dispersed through the end cap 18, so that mode instability caused by thermal effect in the photonic crystal fiber is reduced, and meanwhile, the clamping water cooling assembly 23 can clamp end caps 18 with various sizes and perform water cooling and temperature control on the end caps 18.
