Description

一种基于纤芯尺寸纵向渐变增益光纤的全光纤激光振荡器An all-fiber laser oscillator based on longitudinally graded gain fiber with core size

技术领域Technical field

本发明总体地涉及光纤激光器领域,尤其涉及一种基于纤芯尺寸纵向渐变增益光纤的全光纤激光振荡器。The present invention generally relates to the field of fiber lasers, and in particular, to an all-fiber laser oscillator based on a longitudinally graded gain fiber with a core size.

背景技术Background technique

与主振荡功率放大结构光纤激光器相比,全光纤激光振荡器具有成本低廉、结构紧凑、控制逻辑简单、性能稳定、抗反射回光能力强等优点,在工业加工中有着广泛的应用。随着应用领域的扩展,对光纤激光振荡器的功率需求越来越高。当前,影响全光纤激光振荡器输出功率提升的主要物理限制因素包括模式不稳定效应和受激拉曼散射效应。一般而言,为了抑制模式不稳定,一般需要采用纤芯直径和模场面积较小、归一化频率较低的增益光纤来抑制高阶模式的产生,从而提高激光器输出功率。但是,为了抑制非线性效应、提升受激拉曼散射的阈值,需要采用纤芯直径和模场面积较大的增益光纤。Compared with the main oscillation power amplification structure fiber laser, the all-fiber laser oscillator has the advantages of low cost, compact structure, simple control logic, stable performance, and strong anti-reflection ability, and is widely used in industrial processing. With the expansion of application fields, the power demand for fiber laser oscillators is getting higher and higher. Currently, the main physical limiting factors affecting the improvement of the output power of all-fiber laser oscillators include mode instability effects and stimulated Raman scattering effects. Generally speaking, in order to suppress mode instability, it is generally necessary to use a gain fiber with a smaller core diameter, smaller mode field area, and lower normalized frequency to suppress the generation of higher-order modes, thereby increasing the laser output power. However, in order to suppress nonlinear effects and increase the threshold of stimulated Raman scattering, it is necessary to use a gain fiber with a larger core diameter and mode field area.

因此,一般而言,抑制横向模式不稳定和受激拉曼散射对于增益光纤模场面积的需求是相互矛盾的,普通结构的全光纤激光器难以平衡此矛盾,进一步提升全光纤激光振荡器的功率遇到了明显的技术瓶颈。Therefore, generally speaking, the requirements for suppressing transverse mode instability and stimulated Raman scattering for the gain fiber mode field area are conflicting. It is difficult for all-fiber lasers with ordinary structures to balance this contradiction and further increase the power of all-fiber laser oscillators. Encountered obvious technical bottlenecks.

当前,全光纤激光器振荡器大都采用纤芯直径沿光纤长度方向均匀变化的增益光纤作为激光器的增益介质,难以平衡模式不稳定效应和受激拉曼散射效应抑制的矛盾。Currently, most all-fiber laser oscillators use gain fibers whose core diameter changes uniformly along the length of the fiber as the gain medium of the laser. It is difficult to balance the contradiction between the mode instability effect and the suppression of the stimulated Raman scattering effect.

公开报道利用纤芯直径纵向渐变光纤构成激光器,主要是利用拉锥光纤置于激光谐振腔中:专利CN201310069242.1利用拉锥区域轴向长度为1.5~2厘米、相邻两个拉锥区的轴向中心之间间隔4~6米的、总长度大于或等于80m的多锥段光纤,在环形腔激光器中实现稳定的单频激光运转;专利CN201410106212.8利用拉锥光纤锥区直径为4~10微米,长度为0.5~2厘米的锥形光纤固定在可调谐装置上,通过调整装置对拉锥光纤施加不同的应力,在环形激光器中实现不同波长的调谐输出;专利CN201610567283.7利用调制周期为6.8~7.2纳米,锥腰为7.0~7.5微米的拉锥光纤,通过微位移光纤夹上拉伸锥形光纤的长度,在掺铥光纤环形腔中实现激光纵模竞争的抑制和实现波长的调谐,实现了基于拉锥光纤的可调谐2微米波段双波长锁模光纤激光输出。It has been publicly reported that the use of longitudinally graded core diameter fibers to form lasers mainly uses tapered optical fibers placed in the laser resonant cavity: Patent CN201310069242.1 utilizes a tapered area with an axial length of 1.5 to 2 cm and two adjacent tapered areas. Multi-tapered optical fibers with axial centers spaced 4 to 6 meters apart and with a total length greater than or equal to 80m achieve stable single-frequency laser operation in ring cavity lasers; the patent CN201410106212.8 utilizes tapered optical fibers with a tapered area diameter of 4 ~10 microns, a tapered optical fiber with a length of 0.5 ~ 2 cm is fixed on the tunable device, and different stresses are applied to the tapered optical fiber through the adjusting device to achieve tunable output of different wavelengths in the ring laser; patent CN201610567283.7 uses modulation A tapered fiber with a period of 6.8 to 7.2 nanometers and a tapered waist of 7.0 to 7.5 microns is used to stretch the length of the tapered fiber on a micro-displacement fiber clamp to suppress laser longitudinal mode competition and achieve wavelength in a thulium-doped fiber ring cavity. The tuning realizes the tunable 2-micron band dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber laser output based on tapered fiber.

当前利用拉锥光纤构建激光器时,拉锥光纤都是单模光纤、且锥区长度都在2厘米以下,主要通过控制锥区的长度或应力来实现波长调谐的或线宽控制,由于这些激光器中光纤纤芯和包层都随着光纤长度变化,泵浦光在包层传输时存在较大的损耗,严重时激光器可能烧毁,不适合高功率光纤激光器的应用;同时,当前这类基于锥形光纤的激光器,未涉及横向模式控制和受激拉曼散射抑制。When currently using tapered fibers to construct lasers, tapered fibers are all single-mode fibers, and the length of the tapered region is less than 2 cm. Wavelength tuning or linewidth control is mainly achieved by controlling the length or stress of the tapered region. Since these lasers Both the core and cladding of medium-sized optical fibers change with the length of the fiber. There is a large loss when the pump light is transmitted through the cladding. In severe cases, the laser may burn out, which is not suitable for the application of high-power fiber lasers. At the same time, the current cone-based fiber laser The fiber-shaped laser does not involve transverse mode control and stimulated Raman scattering suppression.
