Problems solved by technology

The traditional single-mode fiber only supports the transmission of the fundamental transverse mode. Due to the weak waveguide approximation in the traditional few-mode fiber or multimode fiber, the high-order vector transverse modes with similar propagation constants are degenerated into linear polarization modes, which cannot meet the requirements of the orbital angular momentum mode. Stable transmission in optical fiber
Therefore, the orbital angular momentum mode single-frequency laser transmission converted from the output end of the traditional single-frequency fiber laser is unstable

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-longitudinal-mode Brillouin fiber laser with orbital angular momentum mode direct resonance. The laser comprises a fundamental mode pumping source, an optical amplifier, a first polarization controller, an orbital angular momentum mode generator, a second polarization controller, a first optical fiber circulator, a first optical fiber coupler, a third polarizationcontroller, a frequency selector and a vortex optical fiber. Based on the mode separation and optimization design of a vortex optical fiber, the generation and stable transmission of a specific-orderorbital angular momentum mode in the resonant cavity and at the output end can be ensured by adopting a vortex optical fiber device. Based on a same-order mode pumping mechanism and a resonant cavitymode filtering effect, the in-cavity same-order orbital angular momentum mode Brillouin signal light directly resonates. Only one longitudinal mode in the cavity starts oscillation through the frequency selector and the control cavity length, and single longitudinal mode laser output is guaranteed. Based on a single-mode direct resonance mechanism in the annular cavity, the output single-longitudinal-mode orbital angular momentum mode laser has the advantages of high mode purity, good light beam quality and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser technology, in particular to a single longitudinal mode Brillouin fiber laser with orbital angular momentum mode direct resonance. Background technique [0002] A vortex beam is a field distribution with a helical phase term exp(ilφ) A beam of light in which each photon carries lh Orbital angular momentum ( l is the topological charge, φ is the azimuth angle, h is Planck's constant), and has the characteristics of annular light field distribution and spiral phase singularity. These unique properties make it widely used in the fields of material processing, optical tweezers, high-resolution imaging, fiber optic sensing, and fiber optic communication. However, these application prospects put forward higher requirements on the monochromaticity, coherence, mode purity and stability of the vortex beam. Single-frequency fiber lasers can meet such requirements due to their advantages such as narrow linewidth,...
