Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optoelectronic devices, and more specifically relates to a pump and signal beam combiner based on a coreless optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The pump and signal beam combiner is one of the core components of the all-fiber laser system. It is mainly used for combining pump light and coupling transmission of signal light. Its performance will directly determine the output power and beam quality of the fiber laser. the size of. At present, there are two main methods of pump light coupling for beam combiners: end-pumping and side-pumping. End-pumping refers to combining multiple beams of pumping light into the cladding of the double-clad fiber from the end face. At present, the method of fusion tapering is mostly used, that is, multiple pump fibers are evenly and closely arranged around the signal fiber to form a fiber bundle for fusion tapering, and then cut at the waist...
