AI Technical Summary
Traditional fiber-coupled laser tube modules cannot effectively prevent reflected light from entering the laser tube assembly, resulting in unstable laser output and the inclusion of stray light. Existing methods cannot simultaneously ensure high coupling efficiency and complete separation of reflected light from the cavity.
By setting the angle between the fiber end face and the radial direction to 6-10° and placing a light-blocking pressure ring behind the coupling lens, the reflected light is deflected twice and leaves the cavity. At the same time, a laser purification filter is placed in front of the coupling lens to filter out stray light.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of lasers and optical fiber couplers, and in particular relates to an optical fiber coupled laser tube module. Background Art
[0002] A traditional fiber-coupled laser tube module combines a fiber pigtail, a coupling lens, and a laser tube assembly. Its function is to couple the laser light generated by the laser tube assembly into an optical fiber and output it through the pigtail. It is widely used in fields such as optical communications, laser measurement, and chemical analysis. While this module offers advantages such as compactness and high coupling efficiency, its disadvantages are its inability to effectively prevent reflected light from entering the laser tube assembly and thus interfering with the laser's output. Furthermore, its lack of filtering functionality limits its further application and development. Addressing the issue of laser light reflected off the optical axis at the fiber end face in this module prevents reflected light from entering the laser tube assembly, thereby stabilizing the laser tube assembly's output. Furthermore, incorporating a filtering structure into this device to remove stray light from the laser tube assembly can achieve a purer laser output. Currently, effective methods for preventing reflected light from entering the laser tube assembly include deflecting the reflected light off the optical axis. These methods include: positioning the fiber at a certain angle to the optical axis; polishing the fiber end face at a certain angle to the radial direction; positioning the laser tube assembly at a certain angle to the optical axis; and positioning the coupling lens at a certain angle to the radial direction. Existing patents all employ one or a combination of the aforementioned methods to deflect the reflected light from the fiber end face off the optical axis. However, these methods fail to completely deflect the reflected light from the cavity between the fiber and the laser tube assembly, resulting in multiple reflections within the cavity and increasing the probability of interference with the laser tube assembly. Furthermore, none of the existing devices involve filtering structures or functions. For example, a semiconductor laser and optical fiber coupling system (COUPLING SYSTEM OF SEMICONDUCTOR LASER AND OPTICAL FIBER, JP58132709A, HIRAMARIKA KENKYUSHO KK, 1982-02-02) employs a method of placing the optical fiber at a specific angle to the optical axis to deflect the reflected light. The angle of deviation is the same as the angle at which the fiber is positioned. However, if the angle is too small, the reflected light will deviate too little, allowing it to pass through the coupling lens and enter the laser tube assembly. If the angle is too large, the angle between the incident light and the fiber's radial direction will be too large, severely affecting coupling efficiency. Therefore, this invention cannot simultaneously completely eliminate reflected light and ensure high coupling efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above problems and in order to improve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a new type of fiber-coupled laser tube module, which can obtain a more stable and pure laser output than the traditional fiber-coupled laser tube module. By setting the angle between the fiber end face and the radial direction to 6-10°, and providing a light-blocking pressure ring behind the coupling lens, the reflected light from the fiber end face is deflected twice and then leaves the cavity, completely isolating the interference of the reflected light from the fiber end face; by providing a laser purification filter in front of the coupling lens, the light beam emitted by the laser tube assembly is filtered, so that the stray light of the laser tube assembly is effectively filtered out, and a pure laser output is obtained. The structure of this device is simple, and the volume is not significantly increased compared to the traditional structure. It effectively solves the problem of reflected light interference of the traditional fiber-coupled laser tube module, and provides a filtering structure and function, which is an innovation and improvement of the existing structure.

The structure provided by the present invention completely separates reflected light from the fiber end face from the module's internal space, completely eliminating any interference with the laser tube assembly. This invention achieves more stable laser output than conventional fiber-coupled laser tube modules.
[0019] 2. Existing fiber-coupled laser tube modules lack a filtering structure or function, resulting in laser light containing significant stray light. The structure provided by the present invention incorporates an internal filtering device, adding filtering functionality without significantly increasing the size. This invention can produce a purer laser output than existing fiber-coupled laser tube modules.
[0020] 3. Existing fiber-coupled laser tube modules have extremely high requirements for machining precision and lack adjustment capabilities, or adjustment is very difficult, which increases the assembly cost of the module.

[0022] Based on the above reasons, the present invention can be widely promoted in the fields of optical communication, laser measurement and chemical analysis. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
