Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical communications, and in particular relates to a high-order mode fiber laser based on few-mode fiber gratings. Background Art

[0002] Optical tweezers are widely used in the fields of materials science and life sciences. They use lasers to capture and arrange tiny particles, among which the realization of multi-dimensional manipulation of particles is an important issue. Among the methods of using lasers as optical tweezers, using optical fiber as a transmission medium to output laser is one of the effective methods. This method generally outputs lasers through multiple single-mode optical fibers, single-mode multi-core optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers, etc., and has the advantages of flexible operation, simple structure, and low cost. However, the Gaussian beams, Laguerre-Gaussian beams, Bessel beams, etc. output by the above-mentioned optical fibers can only realize one-dimensional and two-dimensional manipulation of particles, while high-order mode beams can perform three-dimensional manipulation of particles. Therefore, the key is to realize the fiber laser that can output high-order mode beams.

[0003] Currently, fiber lasers that output high-order mode beams can be divided into two categories based on their output mode mechanism. One category is fiber lasers that output a single mode, which achieves mode conversion through off-core fusion of different types of optical fibers, mode-selective couplers, etc., thereby outputting a single high-order mode beam. The other category is fiber lasers that output different modes in a switching manner, which achieves mode conversion through switching the interface of the mode-selective photon lantern and the phase diagram of the spatial light modulator, thereby switching the output of different mode beams. Low-order mode beams can achieve one-dimensional and two-dimensional manipulation of particles, while high-order mode beams can achieve three-dimensional manipulation of particles. Therefore, to achieve multi-dimensional manipulation of particles, fiber lasers that can simultaneously output different mode beams are key. Summary of the Invention

The present invention uses few-mode long-period fiber Bragg gratings to achieve mode conversion, and realizes mode reflection and mode separation through few-mode fiber Bragg gratings, and realizes LP under a single resonant cavity. 01 LP 11 LP 21 Simultaneous output of mode lasing. Using optical fiber as a medium to output lasers is one of the effective methods for realizing optical tweezers. This high-order mode fiber laser based on few-mode fiber Bragg gratings can simultaneously output low-order mode beams and high-order mode beams, achieving multi-dimensional manipulation of particles and has good application prospects in the fields of materials science and life sciences.
