Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of laser devices, and particularly relates to an acousto-optic Q-switched ytterbium-doped all-fiber laser. In order to solve the problems of low coupling efficiency, high maladjustment sensitivity, complex experimental facilities and the like caused by separated component structure in Q-switched fiber laser, the invention adopts a technical proposal of the acousto-optic Q-switched ytterbium-doped all-fiber laser which comprises a fiber bragg grating (FBG), an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) with tail fiber, a multimode coupler, two pumping light-emitting diodes (LDs), ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber and output tail fiber, wherein the two pumping LDs couple pumping light to the ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber respectively by the multimode coupler; the ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber is connected between the output terminal of the multimode coupler and the output tail fiber; the FGB is connected to a signal terminal of the multimode coupler by the AOM with tail fiber, and forms a resonant cavity with the end surface of the output tail fiber simultaneously; and alternating voltage is applied on the AOM. The invention is mainly used in the manufacturing and designing of lasers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser devices, in particular to an acousto-optic Q-switched ytterbium-doped all-fiber laser. Background technique [0002] Fiber lasers have the advantages of high efficiency, compact structure, and easy portability. They have broad application prospects in the fields of military, industry, biomedicine, nonlinear frequency conversion, remote sensing, and space communications. Its research has become very active in the field of laser devices. direction. Judging from the current situation, in the research of Q-switched fiber lasers, Q-switches are roughly divided into two types: non-fiber Q-switches and fiber-optic Q-switches. The non-fiber type mainly includes acousto-optic Q-switches, electro-optic Q-switches, passive saturable absorber Q-switches and rotating mirror Q-switches, etc. The non-fiber type Q-switches are bulk Q-switches. When used for Q-switching fiber lasers, the resonator and Most of the other opti...
