1[mu]m waveband column vector fiber laser based on mode selection coupler

Abstract

The invention discloses a 1[mu]m waveband column vector fiber laser based on a mode selection coupler. The laser comprises a pumping source, a wavelength division multiplexer, a gain fiber, an annulardevice, a single-mode Bragg grating, a first polarization controller, a second polarization controller, a mode selection coupler and a collimator. The output end of the pumping source is connected with the short wavelength input end of the wavelength division multiplexer. The output end of the wavelength division multiplexer is connected with the port 1 of the annular device through the gain fiber. The port 2 of the annular device is connected with the single-mode Bragg grating. The port 3 of the annular device is connected with the long wavelength of the wavelength division multiplexer through the first polarization controller and the mode selection coupler. The second polarization controller and the collimator are connected to the few mode fiber output end of the mode selection coupler.The laser is advantaged by high slope efficiency, slight insertion loss and high column vector laser polarization purity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fiber lasers, and in particular relates to a 1 μm band cylindrical vector fiber laser based on a mode selective coupler. Background technique [0002] Cylindrical vector lasers include radially polarized light and angularly polarized light. Because of their special symmetrical polarization and intensity characteristics, they are widely used in quantum physics, optical tweezers, fiber optic sensing, surface plasmon excitation, and fiber optic communications. In particular, radially polarized light has attracted more and more attention. [0003] Cylindrical vector lasers are mainly generated by free-space devices or all-fiber methods. The use of free-space devices is mainly through the precise adjustment of the polarization state of bulk free-space devices such as phase modulators, combined half-wave plates, birefringent crystals, and subwavelength gratings to obtain cylindrical vector lasers. However, the use of t...
