Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] Refer to Figure 1 , for a high-brightness and high-power fiber laser in an embodiment, which adopts an oscillator structure and includes a pumping module 1, a high-reflection fiber grating 2, a gain fiber 3, a low-reflection fiber grating 4, and a cladding light filter 5. The pumping module 1 is used to output pumping light. The pumping module 1, the high-reflection fiber grating 2, the gain fiber 3, the low-reflection fiber grating 4, and the cladding light filter 5 are connected in sequence. A resonant cavity is formed between the high-reflection fiber grating 2 and the low-reflection fiber grating 4. The pumping light is absorbed by the gain fiber 3. At a certain pumping light power, signal light is emitted. The signal light oscillates and amplifies reciprocally in the resonant cavity and is output through the low-reflection fiber grating 4 and the cladding light filter 5. The central wavelength of the pumping source of the pumping module needs to be within the absorption band of the doped ions.

[0016] The center of the reflection band of the high-reflection fiber grating 2 is at the signal light wavelength, the reflection bandwidth is 3 nm, and the reflectivity is 99%. The center of the reflection band of the low-reflection fiber grating 4 is at the signal light wavelength, the reflection bandwidth is 1 nm, and the reflectivity is 4% - 90%.

[0017] Refer toFigure 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a gain fiber adopted in an embodiment. The gain fiber 3 is a rare-earth ion-doped ZBLAN fiber with an all-solid anti-resonant structure using ZBLAN as the matrix material. The gain fiber includes a core region 10, a cladding region 20, an anti-resonant region 30, and a coating layer 40. Only the matrix material in the core region 10 is doped with dysprosium ions. The design of the tube structure in the anti-resonant region 30 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can design a suitable anti-resonant structure according to actual requirements and process difficulties. The anti-resonant region 30 is composed of at least one capillary group. Each capillary group includes a plurality of capillaries. The capillaries in each capillary group are circularly arranged around the core region with the core region as the center. The matrix material in each capillary is the same as that in the cladding region and is ZBLAN. The matrix material ZBLAN in the core region is doped with dysprosium ions. ZBLAN is a matrix material made of ZrF4, BaF2, LaF3, AIF3, and NaF. Its material composition ratio is not limited. Those skilled in the art can select the ratio according to experience or select a suitable ratio based on the prior art, or can also directly select a commercial ZBLAN material. The structures and size parameters of the capillaries in the same capillary group are the same, and the structures and size parameters of the capillaries in different capillary groups can be the same or different. The cross-sectional shape of the capillary is not limited, and a circular shape is usually selected for easy drawing.

[0018] Figure 2 In the shown embodiment, the anti-resonant region 30 is composed of a capillary group. The capillary group includes a plurality of capillaries. The capillaries are circular nested tubes. A plurality of circular nested tubes surround the core region 10. The circular nested tube includes an outer tube 301 and an inner tube 302 disposed inside the outer tube 301 and tangent to the outer tube. There is a gap between adjacent circular nested tubes and the gaps are equal.

[0019] In the gain fiber 3, the outer diameter of the circular nested tube is d1, the inner diameter is d2, and the wall thicknesses of the outer tube 301 and the inner tube 302 are the same and are all t , by optimizing d1 and d2, the value of the high-order mode suppression ratio at the signal light wavelength is greater than 100, realizing single-mode transmission and improving the output beam quality. Specifically, the COMSOL software is used for the optimization design of the gain fiber parameters. The process of optimizing d1 and d2 includes: Fix d2 / d1 as a set value (those skilled in the art can select a suitable empirical value as the set value of d2 / d1 according to experience), optimize d1 / D, where D is known, obtain a curve graph of the fundamental mode confinement loss at the signal light wavelength changing with d1 / D, and take the value of d1 / D corresponding to the minimum fundamental mode confinement loss value at the signal light wavelength as the preferred value of d1 / D, and then determine the preferred value of d1; Fix d1 / D to the obtained preferred value of d1 / D, optimize d2 / d1, obtain the curve graphs of the fundamental mode confinement loss, high-order mode confinement loss, and high-order mode suppression ratio of the signal light wavelength varying with d2 / d1, and select the value of d2 / d1 corresponding to the case where the high-order mode suppression ratio value is greater than 100 and the fundamental mode confinement loss is minimized as the preferred value of d2 / d1, thereby determining the preferred value of d2.

[0020] In a specific embodiment, based on Figure 1 the structure shown, a high-brightness and high-power 575 nm fiber laser is proposed for generating and outputting high-brightness and high-power 575 nm fiber laser. The pump source of the pump module 1 uses a semiconductor laser with a central wavelength located at 450 nm. The structure of the gain fiber used is as shown in Figure 2 and will not be elaborated here. The fibers used to prepare the high-reflection fiber grating 2, low-reflection fiber grating 4, and cladding light filter 5 are the same as the gain fiber 3. The center of the reflection band of the high-reflection fiber grating 2 is at 575 nm, the reflection bandwidth is 3 nm, and the reflectivity is 99%. The center of the reflection band of the low-reflection fiber grating 4 is at 575 nm, the reflection bandwidth is 1 nm, and the reflectivity ranges from 4% to 90%. The outer tube 301 of the circular embedded tube in the gain fiber 3 has a diameter of d1, the inner tube 302 has a diameter of d2, and the wall thicknesses of the outer tube 301 and the inner tube 302 are the same and are both t , and by optimizing d1 and d2, the value of the high-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) at 575 nm is made greater than 100, realizing single-mode transmission and improving the output beam quality.

[0021] The gain fiber 3 has a core region diameter D = 20 μm; the outer tube 301 of the circular embedded tube has a diameter of d1 and the inner tube 302 has a diameter of d2, and the wall thicknesses of the outer tube 301 and the inner tube 302 are the same and are both t . According to the anti-resonance theory ( n 2 and n 1 are the refractive indices of the anti-resonance region and the core region, m is a positive integer), is the resonance wavelength, and the resonance wavelength cannot be transmitted in the core. For the visible light band, the core region has a diameter D = 20 μm, which belongs to a large mode field and can achieve high-power transmission. Combining the flexibility of controlling the high-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) of the anti-resonance fiber, a single-mode transmission fiber can be designed, thereby realizing high-brightness transmission. Currently, the maximum core diameter of the commonly used step-index fiber is 16 μm, and the output laser beam quality is very poor, with M 2 ~6.08.

[0022] The optical fiber matrix of the present invention uses a ZBLAN matrix with a relatively small phonon energy because a matrix with a high phonon energy enhances the non-radiative relaxation process during the ion transition process, which is not conducive to laser lasing. In addition, the refractive index of the ZBLAN matrix optical fiber is relatively low, and the dispersion in the visible light band is low. When designing the optical fiber, while taking into account a wide transmission band, the wall thickness is appropriate and it is easy to draw. If the wall thickness is too thick, it will affect the transmission loss of the optical fiber, further affecting the power level of the output laser and the efficiency of the fiber laser.

[0023] Combined with the refractive index of the optical fiber matrix, ZBLAN (ZrF4 - BaF2 - LaF3 - AIF3 - NaF) is used as the matrix material, and the wall thicknesses of the outer tube 301 and the inner tube 302 t The preferred value is 1.5 μm. By optimizing d1 and d2, the value of the high-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) at 575 nm is greater than 100. When the value of HOMER is greater than 100, it can be considered single-mode transmission, and it has a high beam quality. This embodiment proposes a double-clad all-solid anti-resonant optical fiber suitable for the visible light band with a large mode field and a high suppression ratio to achieve the purpose of high-power and high-brightness laser transmission. The COMSOL software is used for the optimized design of the optical fiber parameters. First, determine the optical fiber matrix material and the shape and structure of the anti-resonant region. Combining with the actual application, determine the core region diameter that meets the high-power visible light transmission (the diameter D of the core region in this embodiment is 20 μm); secondly, since the pump light needs to be accurately located at the resonant wavelength, combining the actual drawing difficulty and the influence of the wall thickness on the optical fiber loss, determine the preferred value of the wall thickness of the outer tube and the inner tube of the anti-resonant region according to the anti-resonant theory t The preferred value (in this embodiment t The preferred value is 1.5 μm) and input this parameter. On this basis, input the signal laser wavelength of 575 nm, and then optimize the outer tube and the inner tube diameters of the circular sleeve, that is, d1 and d2, to make the value of the high-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) at the signal laser wavelength greater than 100 to support the high-brightness transmission of the 575 nm laser. The COMSOL software is used for the optimized design of the gain optical fiber parameters. The process of optimizing d1 and d2 includes: Fix d2 / d1 = 0.5 and optimize d1 / D, where D is known, D = 20 μm, and obtain the curve of the confinement loss of the fundamental mode (LP 01 ) at 575 nm wavelength changing with d1 / D as shown in Figure 3 Shown, take the value of d1 / D corresponding to the minimum confinement loss value of the fundamental mode (LP 01 ) at 575 nm wavelength as the preferred value of d1 / D (in this embodiment it is 0.71), and then determine the preferred value of d1 (in this embodiment it is 14.2 μm). As seen from Figure 3 In, the value of d1 / D is related to the fundamental mode (LP 01The limiting loss value does not change regularly, and only the optimal value can be obtained through optimized design.

[0024] Fix d1 / D to the obtained optimal value of d1 / D (0.71 in this embodiment), optimize d2 / d1, and obtain the fundamental mode (LP) at a wavelength of 575 nm 01 ), the limiting loss of the higher-order mode (LP 11 ), and the change curves of the limiting loss of the higher-order mode and the higher-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) with d2 / d1, as Figure 4 shown. Select the value of d2 / d1 corresponding to the smaller limiting loss of the fundamental mode (LP 01 ) and the value of the higher-order mode suppression ratio (HOMER) greater than 100 as the optimal value of d2 / d1 (0.61 in this embodiment), and then determine the optimal value of d2 (8.662 μm in this embodiment).

For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
