All-fiber 980nm high-power optical fiber oscillator

Abstract

The invention discloses an all-fiber 980nm high-power optical fiber oscillator in order to solve the problem that the existing 980nm optical fiber oscillator is of low electro-optical efficiency and is restricted in pump light coupling. The all-fiber 980nm high-power optical fiber oscillator is composed of a gain module, two pump modules, two optical fiber mode field adapters, two photosensitive optical fibers, two optical fiber gratings, and an output coupling end. The gain module is composed of a pump coupling module and a double-cladding ytterbium-doped optical fiber. The pump coupling module uses two lateral pump combiners or K multi-mode optical fibers. The two pump modules contain multiple pump sub-modules. Each pump sub-module is a semiconductor laser of which the tail fiber outputs laser of 900-960nm or a beam combiner structure. Each of the two optical fiber mode field adapters can be either an optical fiber mode field adapter or a series structure of sub optical fiber mode field adapters. The center wavelength of the optical fiber gratings inscribed in the photosensitive optical fibers is in the laser band. The problem that the existing 980nm optical fiber oscillator is of low electro-optical efficiency and is restricted in pump light coupling is solved.
