Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of fiber laser technology, and in particular to a method and evaluation method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering effect in a fiber laser amplifier. Background Technology

[0002] In high-power fiber laser systems, the impact of nonlinear effects in the fiber becomes increasingly significant with the increase in output power, especially stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). SRS transfers most of the signal light energy to Raman light of the corresponding wavelength after the fiber laser system reaches its threshold power, thus limiting further increases in the output power of high-power fiber laser systems. Effectively suppressing SRS has become a key factor in further improving the power of high-power fiber laser systems.

[0003] Fiber laser amplifiers based on a master oscillator power amplification structure are currently the main method for achieving high-power fiber laser output. In fiber laser amplifiers based on this structure, Raman spectral components are mainly generated in the master amplification stage. Therefore, suppressing stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in fiber laser amplifiers primarily revolves around the structural design of the master amplification stage. Common methods fall into two main categories: The first is to modify the structural design of the gain fiber. This method can increase the effective mode area of ​​the fiber, reduce the fiber length, reduce the power overlap factor between the Raman spectral components and the signal spectral components, or increase the loss coefficient of the Raman spectral components. The second is to introduce additional Raman spectral component filtering devices. This method can directly separate the Raman spectral components from the signal spectral components in the laser. However, both of these methods require additional components to match the new gain fiber and filtering devices. While suppressing SRS, this can easily lead to degradation of other performance characteristics of the fiber laser amplifier, such as beam quality, power conversion efficiency, and reliability.

[0004] Based on the existing problems and limitations, this paper proposes a method to effectively suppress stimulated Raman scattering in fiber laser amplifiers without changing the main amplification stage structure design. This method has important practical significance for further improving the power and performance of high-power fiber lasers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a method and evaluation method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering effect in fiber laser amplifiers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] On one hand, the present invention provides a method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering in a fiber laser amplifier, comprising:

[0008] The fiber laser amplifier to be optimized is identified. The fiber laser amplifier to be optimized includes a primary seed laser for injecting seed laser into the fiber laser amplifier.

[0009] Optimization of a fiber laser amplifier involves adding a new seed laser to the amplifier. The two seed lasers output from the new and original seed lasers are coupled into a single laser stream via a signal coupler and injected into the gain fiber of the fiber laser amplifier for power amplification. The temporal stability of the laser output from the new seed laser is superior to that from the original seed laser. By utilizing the four-wave mixing effect of the two seed lasers during the power amplification process in the main amplification stage of the fiber laser amplifier, the temporal and spectral characteristics of the injected seed laser during the power amplification process in the main amplification stage can be controlled. This effectively improves the temporal stability of the laser or broadens the laser spectral width, reduces the effective Raman gain coefficient, and thus suppresses stimulated Raman scattering, thereby increasing the stimulated Raman scattering threshold of the fiber laser amplifier.

[0010] Furthermore, the type of fiber laser amplifier described in this invention is not limited, and it can be a forward-pumped fiber laser amplifier, a backward-pumped fiber laser amplifier, or a bidirectional pumped fiber laser amplifier.

[0011] Furthermore, the fiber laser amplifier described in this invention is a non-polarization-maintaining fiber laser amplifier or a polarization-maintaining fiber laser amplifier.

[0012] Furthermore, the types of lasers used in the original seed laser and the new seed laser of this invention are not limited, and the original seed laser and the new seed laser can use the same type of laser or different types of lasers. The optional laser types for the original seed laser and the new seed laser include different types such as fiber laser oscillators, superfluorescent fiber lasers, random fiber lasers, single-frequency fiber lasers, and phase-modulated single-frequency fiber lasers.

[0013] Furthermore, the power difference between the original seed laser and the new seed laser described in this invention is within 10%.

[0014] The doping distribution of the core of the gain fiber is not limited; it can be uniformly doped, partially uniformly doped, or non-uniformly doped. The gain dopant in the gain fiber is Yb. 3+ Er 3+ 、Nd 3+ Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ Any one or more rare earth ions.

[0015] On the other hand, an evaluation method is provided for the above-mentioned method of suppressing stimulated Raman scattering effect in fiber laser amplifiers, including:

[0016] The power P of the Raman laser in the output laser of the fiber laser amplifier to be optimized before adding a new seed laser is determined. R0 ;

[0017] Determine the power P of the Raman laser in the output laser of the fiber laser amplifier after adding a new seed laser and injecting additional new seed laser. R1 ;

[0018] Based on P R0 / P R1 To evaluate the ability of a fiber laser amplifier to suppress stimulated Raman scattering after the addition of a new seed laser, specifically, P R0 / P R1 The larger the value, the stronger the ability of the optimized fiber laser amplifier to suppress stimulated Raman scattering.

[0019] The above evaluation method provides a clear approach for optimizing the selection of new seed lasers to effectively suppress stimulated Raman scattering in fiber laser amplifiers.

[0020] Furthermore, based on the above evaluation method, a method for optimizing the seed laser in a fiber laser amplifier is provided, wherein among several candidate seed lasers, the one that makes P... R0 / P R1 The largest new seed laser was ultimately chosen as the new seed laser for the fiber laser amplifier.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. Compared with existing methods for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering in fiber laser amplifiers, this invention does not require changes to the structural design of the main amplification stage in the fiber laser amplifier, and has good stability.

[0023] 2. This invention does not require additional design of gain fiber or fiber device; the required new seed laser can be directly designed using existing fiber seed lasers, making it simple to implement.

[0024] 3. This invention is versatile and can be widely applied to suppress stimulated Raman scattering in various types of fiber laser amplifiers.

[0025] In summary, this invention has significant application value in the field of high-power lasers, particularly in the system design and performance optimization of high-power fiber laser amplifiers. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment provides a method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering in a fiber laser amplifier, comprising:

[0035] The fiber laser amplifier to be optimized is identified. The fiber laser amplifier to be optimized includes a primary seed laser for injecting seed laser into the fiber laser amplifier.

[0036] Optimization of a fiber laser amplifier involves adding a new seed laser to the amplifier. The two seed lasers output from the new and original seed lasers are coupled into a single laser stream via a signal coupler and injected into the gain fiber of the fiber laser amplifier for power amplification. The temporal stability of the laser output from the new seed laser is superior to that from the original seed laser. By utilizing the four-wave mixing effect of the two seed lasers during the power amplification process in the main amplification stage of the fiber laser amplifier, the temporal and spectral characteristics of the injected seed laser during the power amplification process in the main amplification stage can be controlled. This effectively improves the temporal stability of the laser or broadens the laser spectral width, reduces the effective Raman gain coefficient, and thus suppresses stimulated Raman scattering, thereby increasing the stimulated Raman scattering threshold of the fiber laser amplifier.

[0037] Furthermore, this invention proposes a method to improve the ability to suppress stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in fiber laser amplifiers by injecting an additional new seed laser. The key to improving the ability to suppress SRS depends on the temporal stability of the original seed laser and the new seed laser, and the wavelength interval between them. Specifically, the temporal stability of the new seed laser is superior to that of the original seed laser. Preferably, the center wavelengths of the original seed laser and the new seed laser can be the same or different. If the center wavelengths of the original seed laser and the new seed laser are different, then the difference between their center wavelengths must be less than 5 nm.

[0038] In one embodiment, an evaluation method is provided for the above-described method of suppressing stimulated Raman scattering effect in a fiber laser amplifier, comprising:

[0039] The power P of the Raman laser in the output laser of the fiber laser amplifier to be optimized before adding a new seed laser is determined. R0 ;

[0040] Determine the power P of the Raman laser in the output laser of the fiber laser amplifier after adding a new seed laser and injecting additional new seed laser. R1 ;

[0041] Based on P R0 / P R1 To evaluate the ability of a fiber laser amplifier to suppress stimulated Raman scattering after the addition of a new seed laser, specifically, P R0 / P R1 The larger the value, the stronger the ability of the optimized fiber laser amplifier to suppress stimulated Raman scattering.

[0053] This invention proposes a method to suppress stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in fiber laser amplifiers by injecting additional new seed lasers.

R0 Raman laser power P in the output laser of the fiber amplifier after additional injection of new seed laser R1 The ratio P between the two R0 / P R1 The larger the value, the stronger the ability to suppress stimulated Raman scattering, providing a clear method for optimizing the selection of new seed lasers to effectively suppress stimulated Raman scattering in fiber laser amplifiers.

[0055] The above evaluation method provides a clear approach for optimizing the selection of new seed lasers to effectively suppress stimulated Raman scattering in fiber laser amplifiers.

[0056] The method provided by this invention is universal and can be widely applied to suppress stimulated Raman scattering in various types of fiber laser amplifiers. In terms of pumping method, the fiber laser amplifier described in this invention can be a forward-pumped fiber laser amplifier, a backward-pumped fiber laser amplifier, or a bidirectional pumped fiber laser amplifier. In terms of pump source, the fiber laser amplifier described in this invention can be a semiconductor-pumped fiber laser amplifier or a co-band pumped fiber laser amplifier.

In terms of seed laser type, the original seed laser in the fiber laser amplifier described in this invention can be different types of fiber seed lasers, such as fiber laser oscillators, superfluorescent fiber lasers, random fiber lasers, single-frequency fiber lasers, and phase-modulated single-frequency fiber lasers.

[0057] In one embodiment, based on the above evaluation method, a method for selecting the optimal seed laser in a fiber laser amplifier is provided, wherein among several candidate seed lasers, the one that makes P... R0 / P R1 The largest new seed laser was ultimately chosen as the new seed laser for the fiber laser amplifier.

[0058] As attached Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering effect in a fiber laser amplifier.

[0059] Fiber laser amplifiers to be optimized, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a seed laser 1, a pump source 4, a pump signal combiner 5, and a gain fiber 6. When only the seed laser 1 is used, the corresponding fiber laser amplifier is in its original state without suppression of stimulated Raman scattering.

[0060] right Figure 1 The fiber laser amplifier shown is optimized by adding a new seed laser 2. The two seed lasers output from the new seed laser 2 and the original seed laser 1 are coupled into a single laser beam via a signal coupler 3. This beam is then injected into the gain fiber 6 along with the pump light 4 via a pump signal combiner 5 to achieve power amplification. When both the original seed laser 1 and the new seed laser 2 are used simultaneously, the corresponding fiber laser amplifier is in an optimized state that suppresses stimulated Raman scattering.

[0061] In this application example, without loss of generality, the original seed laser 1 is a phase-modulated single-frequency fiber laser with a working wavelength of 1064.5nm and a power of 30W. The new seed laser 2 is a phase-modulated single-frequency fiber laser with a working wavelength of 1064nm and a power of 30W. The fiber laser amplifier uses 976nm pump light for pumping, and the pump light power is adjustable. The gain fiber 6 is ytterbium-doped fiber with a fiber length of 16m. When the original seed laser 1 and the original seed laser 2 are used simultaneously, in order to keep the total power of the injected seed lasers constant, their power is set to 15W.

[0062] The output spectral characteristics of the fiber laser amplifier were measured under two conditions: using only the original seed laser 1 and using an additional new seed laser, when the output power of the fiber laser amplifier was 2.2kW. (See attached figure.) Figure 2 As shown. (From the appendix) Figure 3 The results show that, under the same output power, using two seed lasers simultaneously effectively reduces the Raman spectral components in the output laser, thus suppressing the stimulated Raman scattering effect.

[0063] The changes in the proportion of Raman light power in the output laser of the fiber laser amplifier under two conditions—using only the original seed laser 1 and using an additional new seed laser—are shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown. (From the appendix) Figure 3 The results show that, under the same output power, when two seed lasers are used simultaneously, the proportion of Raman light power in the output laser decreases significantly with the increase of output power, indicating that the stimulated Raman scattering effect in the fiber laser amplifier is effectively suppressed.

[0064] Matters not covered in this invention are common knowledge.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
