Problems solved by technology

But in the tapered fiber, the optical path of the pump light transmitted in the cladding is shorter than that in the uniform fiber, which reduces the absorption efficiency of the pump light to a certain extent
At the same time, when the doping concentration of rare earth ions in the fiber core remains unchanged, the overlap factor of the pump light on the entire tapered fiber remains unchanged, resulting in a certain thermal effect that will inevitably occur during forward pumping. This in turn leads to thermally induced mode instability effects, reducing laser output power

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, and specifically discloses a preparation method of a tapered-core optical fiber with a gradually changing core-to-clad ratio and the tapered-core optical fiber. The method includes: depositing a loose layer of glass particles on the inner wall of the reaction tube; doping the loose layer of glass particles with rare earth ions; drying and sintering the reaction tube at high temperature, so that the loose layer of glass particles is vitrified and melted into a solid prefabricated Rod mandrel, and then polished to obtain a conical mandrel with a specified cone angle; processing to obtain a cylindrical glass rod with a conical hole, combining a glass rod with a conical hole and a conical mandrel to obtain The tapered core active optical fiber preform is put into a drawing tower to make a tapered core fiber with a gradually changing core-to-clad ratio. The tapered core fiber is prepared by the above method. The core-clad ratio of the tapered core optical fiber prepared by the invention gradually changes with the length of the fiber, which can improve the pump light absorption of the fiber, balance the heat production of the fiber, and increase the output power of the laser.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber manufacturing, and more specifically relates to a preparation method of a tapered-core optical fiber with a gradually changing core-to-clad ratio and the tapered-core optical fiber. Background technique [0002] High-power narrow-linewidth fiber lasers have the advantages of small size, light weight, good beam coherence, good beam quality, and excellent thermal management performance. They are widely used in industrial processing, intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, and beam synthesis. With the expansion of application fields, higher requirements are put forward for the output power and beam quality of high-power narrow-linewidth fiber lasers. At present, the output power of a single high-power narrow-linewidth fiber laser has reached the kilowatt level. As the power is further increased, nonlinear effects and thermally induced mode instability effects become the main factors that limit...
