Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical communication, 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 beam, Laguerre-Gaussian beam, Bessel beam, 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 a fiber laser that outputs high-order mode beams.

[0003] At present, fiber lasers that output high-order mode beams can be divided into two categories based on the output mode mechanism. One category is fiber lasers that output a single mode, which achieve 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 achieve mode conversion through the interface of the switching mode selective photon lantern, the phase diagram of the spatial light modulator, etc., thereby switching and outputting different mode beams. Low-order mode beams can realize one-dimensional and two-dimensional manipulation of particles, and high-order mode beams can realize three-dimensional manipulation of particles. Therefore, to realize multi-dimensional manipulation of particles, fiber lasers that output different mode beams at the same time are the key. Summary of the invention
