Abstract

The invention discloses a single mode fiber (SMF) laser with large effective area by changing cladding index distribution, which is applied to the field of fiber communication and industrial cutting. For the purpose of solving the problem that an existing laser can not realize single mode and high power simultaneously, the cladding index distribution condition of fibers in the laser is changed to change transmission laser modes in a fiber core so as to realize large-mode-area (LMA) laser output under the condition of the single mode. The technical scheme is as follows: a hydrofluoric acid solution is utilized to etch off the claddings of fibers between a first fiber bragg grating (FBG) (31) and a second FBG (32), and quartz of which the refractive index is more than that of the claddings (2) or less than that of the fiber core (1) are filled so as to form a fill area (4). The fill area is of a D-shaped, ring-shaped, rectangle and spiral winding. The fiber laser is used for signal sources of the fiber communications or laser energy sources of a cutter in industrial processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a single-mode fiber laser with large effective area, which is suitable for optical fiber communication and industrial cutting. Background technique [0002] Since the advent of the laser, its good light characteristics have been widely recognized. With the development of technology, the power of the laser is increasing. The application of high-power special mode field lasers in parts processing, optical communication, and national defense is increasing. Get people's attention, its wide range of applications makes people invest more and more in this kind of laser. Although the power of the laser has been improved to a certain extent, the output power of the single-mode laser cannot meet the actual demand. There are difficulties in the production of single-mode high-power fiber lasers. The first reason is that the power that the laser resonator can withstand per unit volume is limited. The other is the effect of nonlinear effec...
