Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of ultrafast fiber lasers, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a dispersion fiber grating with high spectral flatness. Background Art

[0002] Dispersive fiber Bragg gratings must have a high degree of reflection spectrum flatness so that the laser light at each wavelength of the ultrafast laser seed source can be evenly reflected to the amplifier stage in the CPA system. However, in the preparation process of dispersive fiber Bragg gratings, there are two factors that will degrade its spectrum flatness. First, when writing dispersive fiber Bragg gratings, the refractive index at both ends of the fiber Bragg grating will change suddenly, which will lead to strong side lobes on both sides of its resonance peak, which will cause some non-working laser light to enter the amplifier stage and deteriorate the output pulse quality; second, because the light of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating enters from the long wavelength direction during use, the short-wave loss generated will cause the reflectivity of the grating at short wavelengths to decrease, which will lead to the degradation of the overall flatness of the reflection spectrum.

[0003] At present, there is basically no solution to the deterioration of spectral flatness caused by the combined effects of the side lobes on both sides of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating resonance peak and the short-wave loss. Therefore, a method that is easy to use and has a stable working state is needed to ensure the flatness of the reflection spectrum of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a dispersion fiber grating with high spectral flatness, so as to improve the flatness of the reflection spectrum of the dispersion fiber grating. The method has the advantages of easy grating production, high stability and high multiplexing.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of the present invention is: a method for preparing a dispersion fiber grating with high spectral flatness, the steps are as follows:

[0006] Step 1: Use the uniform ultraviolet light field control technology to expand and shape the ultraviolet laser, disperse its originally dense Gaussian energy to achieve the purpose of uniform Gaussian spot, and finally obtain the ideal writing light field; thereby reducing the refractive index mutation degree at both ends of the fiber grating during the ultraviolet writing scanning process and improving the side mode suppression ratio of the dispersive fiber grating.

[0007] Step 2: Use high side mode suppression ratio toe cutting technology to control the scanning speed V of the stepper motor a The exposure time of each position of the fiber grating is changed to control the refractive index modulation depth of different positions of the fiber grating to eliminate the refractive index mutation at both ends, and to obtain an apodized dispersion fiber grating with a side mode suppression ratio greater than or equal to 20dB.

[0008] Step 3: Use progressive scanning writing technology to superimpose the progressive scanning speed V b, so that the scanning speed of the ultraviolet laser at the short wavelength position is V b1 , so that the scanning speed of the ultraviolet laser at the long wavelength position is V b2 , V b1 ≤V b2 , in order to increase the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating at the short wavelength position and reduce the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating at the long wavelength, thereby compensating for the problem that the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating at the short wavelength is lower than that at the long wavelength due to the short-wave loss phenomenon. Finally, the short-wave loss phenomenon is effectively suppressed, and a dispersive fiber Bragg grating with a spectral flatness less than or equal to 2% and a side mode suppression ratio greater than or equal to 20dB is obtained.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0010] (1) Taking into account the deterioration of spectral flatness caused by the combined effects of the side lobes and short-wave losses on both sides of the dispersive fiber Bragg grating resonance peak, the three key technologies of homogenized ultraviolet light field control, high side mode suppression ratio toe-cutting and progressive scanning writing are integrated to finally realize the preparation of dispersive fiber Bragg gratings with high spectral flatness and high side mode suppression ratio.

[0011] (2) Based on the existing UV mask writing technology, the beam is optimized, and the UV laser is expanded and homogenized and directly applied to the preparation of dispersive fiber gratings. The beam homogenization and shaping make the writing system have the advantages of low complexity and high flexibility.

[0012] (3) For the two major technologies of progressive grating scanning and high side mode suppression ratio toe-off, it is only necessary to establish the intrinsic mapping relationship between the refractive index exposure time (i.e., the stepper motor driven scanning function) and the reflectivity of the dispersed fiber grating in the writing process, so as to modulate the writing process. This has the advantages of being easy to use, stable in working state, and capable of real-time modulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation case methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the case of the present invention, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] Combination Figure 6 , a method for preparing a dispersion fiber grating with high spectral flatness, the steps are as follows:

[0021] Step 1: Design and build the UV beam homogenization module 2-4, and use the homogenized UV light field control technology to expand and shape the UV laser, so as to disperse the energy originally densely distributed in the form of Gaussian light, so as to achieve the purpose of homogenizing the Gaussian light spot, and finally obtain the ideal writing light field; thereby reducing the refractive index mutation degree at both ends of the fiber grating during the UV writing scanning process, and improving the side mode suppression ratio of the dispersive fiber grating.

[0022] Combination Figure 1, the beam homogenization module 2-4 consists of three parts: a beam shaping structure, an optical path collimation structure, and a spot compression structure, and the coaxial axis is arranged in sequence. The beam shaping structure is composed of a hemispherical lens 1-1 and an aperture 1-2, wherein the hemispherical lens 1-1 has a diameter of 5mm and a convex radius of 2.5mm. Since the beam diameter of the writing ultraviolet laser is at the micron level, it is necessary to change the numerical aperture of the beam to achieve beam expansion, and disperse the energy originally densely distributed in the form of Gauss. And since the numerical aperture of the beam is proportional to the effective diameter of the lens and inversely proportional to the distance of the focus, if the numerical aperture of the laser beam is to be expanded, it is necessary to select a lens that is similar to the laser focal spot diameter and meets the minimum focal length. After the writing laser passes through the hemispherical lens 1-1, the laser energy distribution remains unchanged and is still a Gaussian distribution. However, since the hemispherical lens 1-1 expands the numerical aperture of the beam, the laser quickly diverges from one point after focusing, and the divergent spot is large, so it is convenient to shape the beam. This system adopts the simplest aperture method for beam shaping. By controlling the aperture size of the aperture 1-2, the middle part of the Gaussian beam is intercepted, and then a beam shaping effect close to a flat top can be achieved; in order to simplify the system, the plano-convex lens 1-3 constitutes an optical path collimation structure. The parameters are: diameter 25.4mm, radius of curvature 92mm, focal length 200.7mm, and center thickness 2.9mm. The plano-convex lens 1-3 is used to expand and collimate the shaped writing laser; in order to simplify the system, the cylindrical mirror 1-4 constitutes a spot compression structure. The parameters are: diameter 25.4mm, radius of curvature 114.6mm, focal length 238mm, and center thickness 4mm. The cylindrical mirror 1-4 is used to compress the collimated light obtained after beam expansion longitudinally to form a linear spot with uniform energy, which is directly used for grating writing.

[0023] Step 2: Use high side mode suppression ratio toe-cut technology to control the scanning speed V of the stepper motor a The exposure time of each position of the fiber grating is changed to control the refractive index modulation depth of different positions of the fiber grating to eliminate the refractive index mutation at both ends, and to obtain an apodized dispersion fiber grating with a side mode suppression ratio greater than or equal to 20dB.

[0024] Combination Figure 2First, a high spectral flatness dispersion fiber Bragg grating ultraviolet writing system and real-time monitoring system are built. The ultraviolet writing system consists of an ultraviolet laser 2-1, a stepper motor 2-2, an ultraviolet reflector 2-3, a beam homogenization module 2-4, a phase mask 2-5, an optical fiber bracket 2-6, and a six-dimensional adjustment frame 2-7. When writing the dispersion fiber Bragg grating, the ultraviolet laser passes through the ultraviolet reflector 2-3 and is folded 90° through the beam homogenization module 2-4 to homogenize the light field and compress the energy longitudinally to increase the power density, and then passes through the phase mask 2-5 to expose the optical fiber. During the writing process, the stepper motor 2-2 drives the ultraviolet reflector 2-3 and the beam homogenization module 2-4 to move along the grating area of ​​the phase mask 2-5 at the same time, realizing the scanning of the grating area of ​​the phase mask 2-5, thereby achieving the purpose of dispersion fiber Bragg grating writing; the real-time monitoring system mainly includes a broadband light source 2-8, a circulator 2-9, a spectrometer 2-10, and a high-reflection Bragg fiber Bragg grating 2-11. Among them, the fiber type of the high-reflection Bragg fiber grating 2-11 is PM980, the reflectivity is 99.9%, and the center wavelength is 1070nm. During the measurement process, port 1 of the circulator 2-9 is connected to the broadband light source 2-8, port 2 is connected to the high-reflection Bragg fiber grating 2-11, and the long-period end of the dispersion fiber grating is fused with the high-reflection Bragg fiber grating 2-11. When port 3 is connected to the spectrometer 2-10, the reflection spectrum intensity P1 of the dispersion fiber grating with a center wavelength near 1030nm and the reflection spectrum intensity P2 of the high-reflection Bragg fiber grating 2-11 with a center wavelength of 1070nm can be measured simultaneously. Then the reflectivity R of the dispersion fiber grating satisfies the following formula:

[0025]

[0026] Combination Figure 3 , based on the high spectral flatness dispersion fiber Bragg grating ultraviolet writing system and real-time monitoring system to prepare the side mode suppression ratio ≥ 20dB toe-cut dispersion fiber Bragg grating. The fiber type is PM980, the scanning length is 100mm, the writing laser power is 30mW, and the phase mask template chirp rate is 3nm / cm. The high side mode suppression ratio toe-cut technology is used to adjust the scanning speed V of the stepper motor 2-2 during the writing process. a To change the exposure time of each position of the dispersion fiber grating, the Gaussian apodization effect is achieved. The Gaussian apodization function of the exposure time with respect to the position is:

[0027]

[0028] Where L is the grating length, set to 100mm; k Gaussian is the apodization coefficient, set to 0.7; T is the exposure time before apodization; z is the real-time position of exposure. Figure 3 (a) is a schematic diagram of the Gaussian apodization function distribution of the exposure time at each position of the dispersion fiber grating. Figure 3(b) is a schematic diagram of the Gaussian apodization function distribution of the scanning speed. The scanning speed is inversely proportional to the exposure time. Considering the movement accuracy of the stepper motor 2-2, the entire speed change process is divided into 50 sections; at the grating position corresponding to the Gaussian apodization function of 1, the stepper motor 2-2 is at the minimum scanning speed. At this time, the scanning speed of the stepper motor 2-2 is set to 0.009 mm / s, and the fiber Bragg grating is written with the scanning speed distribution of the Gaussian apodization.

[0029] Step 3: Using progressive scanning writing technology, superimpose progressive scanning speed V b , so that the scanning speed of the ultraviolet laser at the short wavelength position is The scanning speed of the ultraviolet laser at the long wavelength position is In order to improve the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber grating at the short wavelength position and reduce the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber grating at the long wavelength, thereby compensating for the problem that the reflectivity of the dispersive fiber grating at the short wavelength is lower than that at the long wavelength due to the short-wave loss phenomenon, and finally effectively suppress the short-wave loss phenomenon, and obtain a dispersive fiber grating with a spectral flatness less than or equal to 2% and a side mode suppression ratio greater than or equal to 20dB.

[0030] Combination Figure 4 , using progressive scanning writing technology. When short-wavelength light passes through a long-period grating structure, part of the light will meet the mode coupling condition with the higher-order mode, resulting in short-wave loss in the dispersion fiber grating reflection spectrum. Short-wave loss will reduce the spectral flatness of the dispersion fiber grating, degrade the spectral effect of broadening the pulse, and reduce the output performance of the ultrafast laser. Introduce progressive scanning writing in the preparation process of the dispersion fiber grating. Set the scanning speed of the stepper motor 2-2 at the short wavelength position Stepper motor (2-2) scanning speed at long wavelength position Finally, the reflectivity in the short-wavelength region is improved, thereby compensating for the short-wave loss and improving the spectral flatness of the dispersion fiber grating. By further introducing the linear function:

[0031]

[0032] where k Compensation is the compensation factor, in s / cm, which is the change in exposure time per unit length of the grating. Gaussian is the initial value of exposure time distribution, set k Compensation =-0.005s / cm to compensate for short-wave loss. The compensation factor k Compensation , which allows the introduction of progressive scanning writing during the preparation process of CFBG, thereby increasing the reflectivity of the short-wavelength region relative to the long-wavelength region to improve the flatness of the CFBG spectrum and compensate for the short-wave loss.

[0033] Combination Figure 5 , finally, the spectrum flatness of the prepared dispersion fiber grating should be effectively tested. The specific process is as follows:

[0034] 1) Use a spectrometer with a resolution of 0.02nm to measure the reflection spectrum within the range of ±6nm of the central wavelength of the dispersed fiber grating, and measure the highest peak value P of the five reflection spectrum powers within this range. P1 To P P5 , and the lowest valley value P of the 5 reflected spectral powers V1 To P V5 ;

[0035] 2) Calculate the spectral flatness η of the dispersion fiber Bragg grating according to the following formula;

[0036]

[0037] 3) Repeat the measurement ten times and record them, and calculate the average value of the ten measurements as the calibration result of the spectral flatness.

[0038] In summary, the present invention provides a method for preparing a dispersion fiber grating with high spectral flatness. By combining the homogenized ultraviolet light field control technology, the high side mode suppression ratio apodization technology and the progressive scanning writing technology, the dispersion fiber grating with a spectral flatness of less than or equal to 2% and a side mode suppression ratio of greater than or equal to 20dB can be prepared.
