Problems solved by technology

However, since the absorption coefficient of the gain fiber to the pump light is certain, when the length of the gain fiber is too short, a large amount of pump light power cannot be fully absorbed, resulting in energy waste, increasing the heat dissipation requirements of the system, and reducing the efficiency of the laser; and The pump light that cannot be fully absorbed will also increase the index requirements for the cladding optical filter and increase the manufacturing cost of the system

Abstract

The invention discloses an annular pumping optical fiber laser amplifier. The annular pumping optical fiber laser amplifier comprises a pumping source, a signal pumping coupler, a gain optical fiber and a pumping filter, the components are fused through optical fibers; the laser is characterized in that the number of the signal pumping couplers is three or more than three; pumping arms between thesignal pumping couplers are connected through optical fiber fusion, and pump light emitted by the pump source enters the gain fiber through the signal pump coupler. Most unabsorbed pump light is output by a pump arm of the other signal pump coupler, the output pump light is injected into the gain optical fiber again through the signal pump coupler to be absorbed in a circulating mode, and the pump light output by the signal fiber of the signal pump coupler is filtered out through the pump filter. According to the fiber laser amplifier scheme, unabsorbed pump light can be cyclically absorbed,the wasted pump light power is reduced, and the slope efficiency of the laser is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber laser amplifiers, in particular to a ring-pumped fiber laser amplifier. Background technique [0002] In high-power fiber laser amplifiers, the power transmitted by the fiber is high, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fiber core is small, and the interaction distance of the transmitted light in the fiber is very long. Non-linear effects such as SBS, SRS, and FWM are easily generated during the laser amplification process. Among them, SBS and SRS are two main factors affecting the output laser power, and their thresholds are inversely proportional to the length of the fiber. In the process of laser development, in order to suppress these nonlinear effects and increase the nonlinear threshold, it is necessary to shorten the gain fiber as much as possible. length. However, since the absorption coefficient of the gain fiber to the pump light is certain, when the length of the gain fiber is too short, a...
