Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber lasers, and in particular to a high-power optical fiber amplifier. Background Art
[0002] In the early 1990s, with the successful development of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and the increasing maturity of wavelength division multiplexing technology, the capacity and transmission distance of fiber-optic communications have been greatly improved. However, the explosive development of the network in recent years has caused the amount of data communication to double, which has put forward higher requirements on the capacity of fiber-optic communication systems. In order to achieve better signal amplification effects in the existing technology, a high-power pump laser module is used to act on the erbium-doped fiber. When the high-power pump laser module acts on the erbium-doped fiber, it will excite the Er ions to transition from the ground state energy level to the high energy level, forming a particle state inversion distribution, which is mainly achieved by increasing the power; however, as a gain medium, the erbium-doped fiber will produce a particle number inversion under the excitation of the pump light, and realize stimulated radiation amplification under the induction of the signal light. During this process, the erbium ions in the optical fiber will undergo energy level transitions, thereby releasing energy and generating heat; however, if the operating temperature is too high, it will affect the gain characteristics and stability of the erbium-doped optical fiber, thereby causing the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier to fail, shut down, or even crash. Therefore, the optical fiber amplifier in the prior art needs to be shut down for cooling, resulting in low efficiency; or water cooling is used for cooling, but the water flow will cause disturbances to the light, thereby affecting the amplification effect; it can be seen that a high-power optical fiber amplifier is needed that can ensure that the appropriate operating temperature can be maintained continuously and stably under high-power conditions. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-power optical fiber amplifier which can ensure a suitable operating temperature continuously and stably under a high-power state.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0005] A high-power optical fiber amplifier comprises an outer shell, an erbium-doped optical fiber and a refrigeration component;
[0006] A partition is provided in the outer shell to divide the inner space of the outer shell into a working space and a cooling space; an air inlet and an air outlet are provided in the working space;
[0007] The cooling space is in the shape of a circular groove, and an annular airway space is arranged in the outer shell corresponding to the cooling space, and the airway space is arranged coaxially with the cooling space; the side wall of the cooling space is provided with a spiral structure formed by connecting multiple layers of annular grooves end to end, and the erbium-doped optical fiber is spirally arranged on the side wall of the cooling space; a plurality of placement grooves are arranged on the side wall between the annular grooves, and there are intervals between the placement grooves, and a Bernoulli nozzle is arranged on the placement groove, and the Bernoulli nozzle is made of heat-conducting material, and the middle part of the Bernoulli nozzle is a depression, and the depression is fitted with the erbium-doped optical fiber above and / or below; one end of the Bernoulli nozzle is connected to the airway space, and the other end is arranged toward the center of the working space; the working space is a sealed space, and the working space is filled with a refrigerant;
[0008] The refrigeration assembly includes a controller, a temperature sensor, a micro compressor, a heat dissipation pipeline, and a radiator; the temperature sensor is attached to the erbium-doped optical fiber; the controller, the micro compressor, the heat dissipation pipeline, and the radiator are arranged in a working space, the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the micro compressor, and the radiator respectively, the radiator is arranged on the heat dissipation pipeline and connected to the air outlet; the partition is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet is coaxially arranged with the working space; the air duct space is provided with a connecting port, and the air inlet, the micro compressor, the heat dissipation pipeline, and the connecting port are connected in sequence;
[0009] When the high-power fiber amplifier is working, the controller obtains the temperature of the erbium-doped fiber in real time through the temperature sensor. Otherwise, it will not take any action. If the temperature exceeds the threshold, the controller starts the compressor to suck the refrigerant in the working space through the air inlet on the partition and compress it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The gas is then dissipated through the heat dissipation pipeline in conjunction with the radiator and the air outlet to obtain medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After entering the airway space, it expands and absorbs heat through the Bernoulli nozzle, causing the Bernoulli nozzle to cool down. The recessed part of the cooled Bernoulli nozzle fits with the erbium-doped fiber above and / or below to indirectly take away the heat of the erbium-doped fiber.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by arranging an installation groove between spiral erbium-doped optical fibers, and arranging a Bernoulli nozzle in the installation groove, in conjunction with a refrigeration component, a micro compressor can be used in conjunction with a heat dissipation pipeline, so that the refrigerant can be fully compressed and dissipated and then pass through the Bernoulli nozzle, so that the Bernoulli nozzle can quickly cool down, and the Bernoulli nozzle does not directly cool the erbium-doped optical fiber, but uses the Bernoulli nozzle as an intermediate component for indirect cooling, which can avoid the interference of the flow of fluid on the erbium-doped optical fiber and affect the amplification effect; ensure the stability of the optical fiber amplifier at high power; and achieve various aspects by coaxially arranging the air inlet and the working space. The airflows in opposite directions converge here and collide with each other to slow down, further ensuring that the high-speed airflow will not affect the erbium-doped optical fiber; by adopting components such as a compressor, it can have a very strong cooling effect to meet the needs of high-power and long-term work, and the other end of the Bernoulli nozzle is arranged toward the center of the working space, so that the radiant heat emitted by the erbium-doped optical fiber can be quickly taken away, avoiding the problem of heat concentration and difficulty in dissipation during the long-term process, overcoming the situation in the prior art that it is necessary to stop and wait for cooling, and can control the working temperature of the high-power optical fiber amplifier at the optimal temperature by controlling the operation of the compressor to improve efficiency.
