Problems solved by technology

It has been documented that high-efficiency supercontinuum generation can be achieved by using a normal dispersion pumping mechanism, but the all-fiber structure was not used in the experiment, which reduces the stability of the system and is not conducive to practical applications

Abstract

The invention provides a high-power high-efficiency supercontinuum source. By reasonably designing characteristics of photonic crystal fibers, long-pulse pump laser (picosecond, nanosecond laser) acts on a normal dispersion area for the photonic crystal fibers, the central wavelengths of stimulated front stages of Raman-Stokes peaks are positioned in an abnormal dispersion area close to a zero dispersion point of the photonic crystal fibers, and the stimulated Raman-Stokes laser peaks serve as a new pump source for stimulating supercontinuum and meet the requirement of an abnormal dispersion pump mechanism. The supercontinuum source simultaneously has the advantages of a normal dispersion pump mechanism and the abnormal dispersion pump mechanism, and high average output power and continuum output with high optical conversion efficiency and a wider supercontinuum range can be realized. By the aid of mature high-power fiber laser technology, photonic crystal fiber manufacturing technology and photonic crystal fiber post-treatment technology, system cost is reduced, and industrial production and application are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber laser technology, in particular to an all-fiber supercontinuum light source capable of achieving high average output power, high optical conversion efficiency and relatively wide output spectrum. Background technique [0002] Photonic crystal fibers can meet the high nonlinearity required for supercontinuum generation and have flexible dispersion characteristics. Using photonic crystal fibers can generate supercontinuum with excellent performance. To evaluate a supercontinuum light source, there are many indicators: the range of the supercontinuum, the flatness of the supercontinuum, the average output power of the supercontinuum, the spectral power density of the supercontinuum, the coherence of the supercontinuum, the supercontinuum output beam quality, etc. Different application fields will also focus on the performance requirements of supercontinuum light sources. At present, there have been authorized ...
