Problems solved by technology

However, this also brings problems: In 2007, Y. Jeong et al. published the article "Erbium: Ytterbium Codoped Large-Core Fiber Laser" in IEEE Journal of SelectedTopics in Quantum Electronics, vol. With 297-W Continuous-Wave OutputPower" shows that although the maximum output power of the ~1.5 μm laser is 297 W, the output power of the ~1 μm laser is also as high as 338 W, which exceeds the output power of the ~1.5 μm laser, and, when After the parasitic oscillation in the ~1 μm band, the slope efficiency of the ~1.5 μm laser output drops from 40% to 19%
The main reason for this phenomenon is that during high power operation, Yb 3+ The generation of parasitic oscillations in the ~1 μm band limits the further improvement of the laser output power in the ~1.5 μm band

Abstract

The invention relates to an Er / Yb co-doped fiber for improving 1.5 mum laser efficiency, and is suitable for the laser communication field. The fiber comprises a fibre core, an inner wrapping layer, an outer wrapping layer and a coating layer from the inside out. The fibre core is formed by straight core and a section of spiral core; and fibre loss can be changed by adjusting spiral pitch of the spiral core and offset amount of a center shaft, and thus fibre loss in 1 mum wave band is allowed to be larger than fibre loss in 1.5 mum wave band. The features above allow the Er / Yb co-doped fiber to be applied to a high-power Er / Yb co-doped fiber laser, and thus the problem of 1 mum parasitic oscillation is effectively solved, and 1.5 mum laser output power is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an Er, Yb co-doped optical fiber, in particular to an Er, Yb co-doped optical fiber for improving laser efficiency of ~1.5 μm in the technical field of laser communication. Background technique [0002] The ~1.5 μm band belongs to the eye-safe band and is in the atmospheric window, so lasers in this band are widely used in laser communication, ranging, medical treatment, industrial processing and other fields. The main method currently used to generate the ~1.5 μm band is doping Er 3+ Fiber lasers and bulk gain medium solid-state lasers. Compared with traditional bulk laser gain medium solid-state lasers, fiber lasers have the advantages of compact structure, good beam quality, high laser efficiency, and simple thermal management. The existing optical fiber structure includes a core, an inner cladding, an outer cladding, and a coating layer from the inside to the outside. 3+ The gain fiber has low absorption efficiency for p...
