Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber lasers, and in particular relates to a high-power multi-mode optical fiber laser amplifier based on wavefront shaping. Background Art
[0002] High-power fiber laser amplifiers have a wide range of application needs in advanced manufacturing, national defense and military industries. The key challenges of high-power fiber amplifiers are nonlinear optical effects and transverse mode instability effects. In order to maintain good beam quality, the current technology for suppressing nonlinear and transverse mode instability effects is basically limited to the use of single-mode or few-mode gain fibers, including bent fibers, partially gain-doped fibers, specially designed refractive index profile fibers, 3C fibers, etc. The main idea is to suppress the transmission in high-order mode fibers by increasing high-order mode loss or reducing high-order mode gain, so as to achieve laser transmission and amplification in the fundamental mode in few-mode fibers with large mode field areas. Multimode gain fibers have more modes and larger mode field areas. Larger mode field areas can significantly increase the threshold of nonlinear effects. At the same time, recent theoretical studies have shown that exciting multiple transverse modes in highly multimode fibers, multi-transverse mode transmission and amplification can increase the threshold of transverse mode modulation instability and stimulated Brillouin scattering by at least one order of magnitude, which makes it a promising development direction for high-power fiber laser amplifiers in the future. However, due to the random coupling between transverse modes and inter-mode interference in multimode fibers, the multimode laser transmission and amplification process becomes complicated, and the output laser beam quality is poor. Therefore, it is challenging to achieve high-power and high-beam-quality amplification of fiber lasers using multimode optical fibers, which has become a problem faced by high-power fiber lasers.
[0003] Using a gain fiber with a small numerical aperture to limit the excitation of high-order modes and designing the fiber structure to increase the loss of high-order modes can both suppress the generation of high-order modes and ensure the amplification and output of high-quality laser spots. However, these two methods have high requirements for the design and drawing process of the optical fiber, which reduces the universality and economy of the system. In addition, a large number of current research results show that these methods are difficult to increase the output power of single-fiber high-beam quality fiber lasers by an order of magnitude. The scattered light focusing technology based on wavefront shaping provides a way to solve the above problems.
[0004] At present, the main optical focusing technologies based on wavefront shaping include the transmission matrix method, the optical phase conjugation method and the feedback iterative optimization method. The transmission matrix method provides a theoretical tool for studying the light transmission and focusing mechanism in scattering media, but the increase in the order of the transmission matrix leads to an exponential increase in the number of measurements, which requires a lot of measurement time. The phase conjugation method requires precise phase measurement and has high requirements for system stability. The feedback iterative optimization method can adapt to complex optimization scenarios and dynamic scattering media, has strong resistance to environmental interference, and can adapt to different shaping requirements through different optimization algorithms and feedback signals.
