Problems solved by technology

However, in the actual combination application process of beam combining devices, the devices need to be welded to each other. The melting point not only increases the loss, but also needs to be protected when each melting point passes through the light, which will increase the volume of the fiber laser in practical applications.

Abstract

A high-power beam combiner is one of the necessary devices for high-power fiber lasers, and its performance affects the injection level of high-power fiber lasers. The invention discloses an integrated high-power beam combiner, which can be used for beam combining of high-power light sources under different conditions by preparing a plurality of beam combiners into a single device. The integratedhigh-power beam combiner of the invention reduces the number of melting points, reduces the length of the energy-transmitting optical fiber, and has the effect of alleviating the nonlinear effect to acertain extent. As the beam combiner of the invention is a single device, the fully enclosed waveguide transmits laser light, thus ensuring the consistency of a plurality of beam combiners as a whole, and improving the stability of a high-power fiber laser.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fiber lasers, in particular to the technical field of high-power beam combining devices. Background technique [0002] The high-power beam combiner is one of the necessary components for high-power fiber lasers, and its performance affects the pump injection level of high-power fiber lasers. The current commercial production of high-power beam combiners is a single device, and a device includes only one type of beam combiner. For example, a pump beam combiner can only realize pump light beam combining, such as 4×1, 7×1, etc. Model pump combiner, pump / signal combiner can only realize the combination of signal light and pump light, such as (6+1)×1, (18+1)×1 and other models of pump / signal combiner harness. However, in the development and production of actual fiber lasers, multiple beam combining devices need to be used in combination. Due to the limitation of the power of the pump source, the beam combining can be ...
