Embodiment 1

[0015] Example 1, such as figure 1 or figure 2 As shown, more than two optical fiber rings 3 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The working principle of this embodiment 1 is as follows: Taking the coupling ratio of 50% / 50% as an example, when the pump light is transmitted in a fiber ring 3 and reaches the coupling intersection point of two fiber rings 3, there is 50% of the optical coupling Enter the next fiber ring 3, and 50% of the light moves along the closed fiber ring 3 and returns to the coupling point (actually, some light will be coupled into the previous fiber ring 3, but here it is assumed that the 50 % of the light moves in the fiber ring 3 without being coupled into the previous fiber ring 3), and 25% (50%×50%) of the light returning to the coupling point will be coupled into the next fiber ring 3 again, By analogy, eventually close to 100% light will still be coupled into the next fiber ring 3, but in the gain fiber of the same length, the number of t...

Embodiment 2

[0017] Example 2, such as image 3 As shown, the working principle of embodiment 2 is the same as that of example 1, the difference is that there are differences in the spatial arrangement of the optical fiber rings 3, and the specific differences are as follows: two or more optical fiber rings 3 are closely arranged together from the inside to the outside to form a ring-shaped fiber bundle.

Abstract

The invention discloses a special optical fiber coupler including an input optical fiber and an output optical fiber. Two or more optical fiber rings coupled to each other are arranged between the input optical fiber and the output optical fiber. Coupling parts of the adjacent two optical fiber rings are fused tightly together. The input optical fiber, the output optical fiber and the optical fiber rings are formed by gain optical fibers. By adopting the above structure, since a plurality of the optical fiber rings are fused together in sequence, pumping light circulates in the coupler similarto a black hole when entering into the coupler via the input optical fiber, so that the travel distance of the pumping light in the gain optical fiber is increased substantially. Since the optical fiber generates a gain effect through absorption and excitation of the pumping light through rare earth elements doped in a cladding, the absorption frequency of pumping light with the same energy by the gain optical fiber is increased substantially in the gain optical fiber of the same length, so that the utilization rate of the pumping light is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lasers, in particular to a special fiber coupler. Background technique [0002] In fiber lasers or fiber amplifiers, a gain fiber is needed to generate a gain effect on pump light absorption and excitation. However, the gain fiber in the prior art has a single structure, and the travel distance of the pump light in the gain fiber is limited. Therefore, the gain fiber The gain effect is poor and the utilization rate of pump light is also low. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the deficiency of low utilization rate of light energy of fiber laser or fiber amplifier in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a special fiber coupler with small volume, high gain effect and high utilization rate of pumping light. [0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: [0005] A special optical fiber coupler, which includes an in...
