Abstract

The invention relates to a linear polarization laser output high-power optical fiber amplifier and an output control method. The optical fiber amplifier comprises an optoisolator, a pumping beam combiner, a double-clad active optical fiber, an optical fiber collimator, a polarizer, a pumping laser and a pumping laser drive control circuit. The polarizer is provided with a main polarization shaft output end and an auxiliary polarization shaft output end. A microprocessor of the pumping laser drive control circuit is connected with a pumping drive circuit, the pumping drive circuit is connected with the pumping laser, a photoelectric detector connected to the auxiliary polarization shaft output port and a current detector for monitoring a pumping drive current are connected with the microprocessor. The control method includes the steps that a total power-current function P (I) and insertion loss of a main polarization shaft and an auxiliary polarization shaft are firstly obtained and stored; auxiliary polarization shaft output power is obtained through the photoelectric detector, when a polarization state changes, the pumping drive current is calculated, amplifier output total power is adjusted, constant output of laser power of the main polarization shaft is achieved without influence of environmental factors. Moreover, a luminous power beam splitting device is not needed, feedback control is achieved, and cost is reduced.
