Abstract

The invention discloses an optical-fiber laser device which includes pump devices, fiber bragg gratings, a gain optical fiber and a pump feedback device. Pump light sent by the pump devices is injected into the gain optical fiber through pump couplers. The fiber bragg gratings are used as endoscopes of the laser device and fusion welded at the two ends of the gain optical fiber. The gain optical fiber is shorter in length than an optical fiber needed for completely absorption of the injected pump light so as to ensure 10%-50% of residual pump light. The pump feedback device feeds back the residual pump light at the tail end of the gain optical fiber into a pump injection end and then the pump light is injected into the gain optical fiber again. The optical-fiber laser device uses a shorter gain optical fiber to reserve specific residual pump light so that re-absorption of signal light by the gain optical fiber in the laser device is inhibited effectively and generation of a nonlinear effect is inhibited effectively and under the same output power, the laser device has a larger nonlinear effect threshold than a conventional laser device so that the laser device is applicable to laser devices of a plurality of kinds of wavelengths and amplifiers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser technology, in particular to a fiber laser using a short gain fiber. Background technique [0002] Because of its excellent beam quality, very high power and power density, easy cooling, high stability and reliability, fiber lasers have attracted increasing attention and have been widely used in many fields. However, as the length of the gain fiber in the laser increases, problems such as nonlinear effects and signal light reabsorption gradually appear, and affect the output beam quality and output power of the laser. [0003] Generally speaking, when determining the length of the laser gain fiber, it is mainly based on the principle of fully absorbing the pump light. According to the absorption coefficient of the gain fiber for the pump light, an appropriate length is selected so that the injected pump light is almost completely absorbed. In order to ensure the high optical efficiency of the laser. However...
