Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser technology, and demonstrates a high-power fiber laser for space use that can effectively suppress radiation-induced mode instability effects. The invention can effectively suppress radiation-induced mode instability effects caused by space radiation, and can fill the gap in the related field of high-power fiber lasers for space use that are highly stable and have a long lifespan. Background Art
[0002] High-power fiber lasers have the advantages of good beam quality, high conversion efficiency, compact structure, and convenient thermal management. They have important application value in both civilian and military fields. Fiber lasers have a mode instability effect. When the laser power exceeds the mode instability threshold, the laser will experience drastic fluctuations in output power and degradation of the laser mode, which seriously affects the output performance of the laser and the safety of the device. When a high-power fiber laser works in an irradiated environment, the irradiation loss causes the mode instability threshold of the laser to drop, which is the radiation-induced mode instability effect.
[0003] When the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs, the fundamental mode and high-order mode components of the laser are periodically coupled, causing the high-order mode power to increase rapidly and be filtered out by the cladding light stripper, resulting in violent fluctuations and a sharp drop in the fundamental mode power, which ultimately causes the thermal load of the laser to increase rapidly and even cause a risk of burning. Therefore, it is very important and urgent to accurately judge the radiation-induced mode instability effect of the fiber laser in order to limit the pump light power in time and prevent further increase in the thermal load of the laser. At present, the research work on the radiation-induced mode instability effect of high-power fiber lasers for space applications has not been published publicly, and the present invention can fill the gap in this field.
[0004] The present invention has carried out the following innovative optimizations: comprehensive judgment is made from multiple aspects such as the temperature of the reverse beam combining area, the leakage light power, and the laser time domain / frequency domain characteristic signals, so as to accurately identify the radiation-induced mode instability effect; based on the degree of the radiation-induced mode instability effect of the current fiber laser, the pump current of the laser is feedback-regulated, which, on the one hand, protects the safety of the fiber laser device, and on the other hand, suppresses the radiation-induced mode instability effect through light / thermal bleaching; the present invention is based on modular design, which is convenient for system debugging and maintenance. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is: to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-power fiber laser that can suppress the radiation-induced mode instability effect in space, which can efficiently suppress the radiation-induced mode instability effect, fill the gap in the related field of high-power fiber lasers for space use that effectively suppress the radiation-induced mode instability effect, and provide strong guarantee for the execution of space missions.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a high-power fiber laser capable of suppressing spatial radiation-induced mode instability effects, comprising a seed source, an amplifier-stage pump source, a forward beam combiner, a gain fiber, a reverse beam combiner consisting of a beam combining region and a pigtail, a cladding light stripper, a collimation output system, a temperature monitoring module located in the beam combining region of the reverse beam combiner, a leakage optical power detection module located in the pigtail of the pump arm of the reverse beam combiner, a near-infrared photoelectric probe, a time domain / frequency domain analysis module, a spatial radiation-induced mode instability effect identification module, and a fiber laser electrical control module;
[0007] The seed light emitted by the seed source and the pump light emitted by the pump source are combined by the forward combiner and injected into the gain fiber to realize laser amplification. The amplified laser passes through the reverse combiner, the cladding light stripper and the collimated output system in sequence, and finally outputs the collimated laser. The pump arm pigtail of the reverse combiner is used to monitor the leakage optical power, and the cladding light stripper is used to strip the cladding light in the output laser. The temperature monitoring module is used to monitor the temperature of the combining area of the reverse combiner.

[0011] The collimated laser produces repetitive pulses on the millisecond scale in the time domain;
[0012] In the frequency domain, an envelope peak appears on the kilohertz scale;
[0013] When the above four situations occur simultaneously, the identification module determines that the laser has experienced radiation-induced mode instability effect, and then outputs a locking pump signal.
[0014] The central wavelength of the seed source output light is between 1030nm and 1100nm, and the seed light power is adjustable.
[0015] The pump wavelength of the amplifying stage pump source is 915±10nm or 976±10nm, and it is cascaded by multiple laser diodes, and its total pump power is adjustable.

The triggering and clearing alarm conditions are adjustable. The conditions are as follows: when the leakage optical power rises by 75W within 10s, the power alarm signal is triggered. When the leakage optical power drops to a stable value, that is, the change rate is less than 1.5% within 15 minutes, the power alarm signal is cleared.
[0018] The time domain / frequency domain analysis module is used to analyze the time / frequency domain characteristics of the laser electrical signal. The triggering and releasing alarm conditions are adjustable, and the conditions are as follows: when a repetitive pulse on the millisecond scale appears in the time domain and an envelope peak on the kilohertz scale appears in the frequency domain, the time / frequency domain alarm signal is triggered; when the above characteristic signals disappear, the time / frequency domain alarm signal is released.
[0019] The identification module is used to accurately determine whether the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs. When the temperature monitoring module, the leakage optical power detection module, and the time domain / frequency domain analysis module trigger the alarm signal at the same time, it is determined that the laser has experienced radiation-induced mode instability at this time, and a pump current locking instruction is immediately issued; when the temperature monitoring module, the leakage optical power detection module, and the time domain / frequency domain analysis module all release the alarm signal, it is determined that the radiation-induced mode instability effect of the laser has been effectively suppressed, and a pump current unlocking instruction is immediately issued.
[0020] The near-infrared photoelectric probe is installed on the collimated output system, used to collect the scattered light of the collimated laser and convert the scattered light signal into an electrical signal. The detection rate is not less than 100M / s and the bandwidth is not less than 100MHz.
[0021] The electronic control module is used to control the power supply timing and power supply current of the laser seed source and pump source. When the electronic control module receives the pump current lock instruction issued by the identification module, the pump current is not allowed to continue to increase, which is used to protect the laser module; when the pump current unlock instruction is received, the pump current is allowed to continue to increase, which can improve the output power of the laser.

Through experimental research, after the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs in the optical fiber laser, the temperature of the reverse beam combining area rises rapidly, the leakage light power of the reverse beam combiner pump arm increases rapidly, and the laser time domain / frequency domain characteristic signal is obvious; with long-term light output, based on the combined effect of photobleaching / thermal bleaching, the radiation-induced loss in the laser gradually decreases, accompanied by the effective suppression of the radiation-induced mode instability effect, and finally the temperature fluctuation of the reverse beam combining area drops to a stable value, the leakage light power fluctuation drops to a stable value, and the time domain / frequency domain characteristic signal disappears. The present invention combines three aspects of characteristic signals and can accurately determine whether the current optical fiber laser has experienced the radiation-induced mode instability effect.

[0030] After the fiber laser operates at the current locked pump power for a period of time, due to the combined effects of photobleaching and thermal bleaching, the radiation-induced loss in the laser gradually decreases, and the radiation-induced mode instability threshold gradually increases. At the same time, the output power of the fiber laser rises to a stable value and changes at a rate of less than 1.5% within 15 minutes, the temperature in the reverse beam combining region drops to a stable value and changes at a rate of less than 2% within 15 minutes, the leakage light power drops to a stable value and changes at a rate of less than 1.5% within 15 minutes, the millisecond-scale repetitive pulses in the time domain disappear, and the kilohertz-scale envelope peak in the frequency domain disappears; the identification module 112 determines that the radiation-induced mode instability effect of the laser has been effectively suppressed, and at the same time, the pump source current is unlocked by the electronic control module 113.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following Figure 1 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 The high-power fiber laser module is responsible for outputting high-power laser. In the embodiment, ytterbium-doped fiber is used as the gain fiber, the core / package size is 20 / 400μm, the laser output power is about 2000W, the slope efficiency is about 80%, the laser center wavelength is 1064nm, and the mode instability threshold is about 2200W. The laser is affected by space irradiation, and radiation-induced loss occurs in the ytterbium-doped fiber, and the radiation-induced loss heat load reduces the threshold of the mode instability effect, causing the threshold to drop to 1000W. When the laser is pumped at a power of 1200W, the output laser power is 1000W before irradiation, but after irradiation, the laser exhibits a radiation-induced mode instability effect.
[0047] See also Figure 2 , after the radiation-induced mode instability occurs, the laser power, leakage light power, and temperature of the reverse beam combining area change with the opening time:
[0048] T1 is the first stage after the laser power exceeds the radiation-induced mode instability threshold. It is mainly manifested in that the output power drops rapidly and then recovers slightly, the leakage light power rises rapidly and then drops slightly, and the temperature in the reverse beam combining area rises rapidly. The typical output power drops by about 200W in 10s, the leakage light power increases by about 75W in 10s, and the temperature rises by about 10°C in 10s.
[0049] T2 is the second stage after the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs. The laser power is relatively stable but still lower than the original value, the leakage light power is relatively stable, and the temperature in the reverse beam combining area rises slightly.
[0050] T3 is the third stage after the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs. The laser power decreases again significantly and then gradually stabilizes, the leakage light power increases again significantly and then gradually stabilizes, and the temperature in the reverse beam combining area increases slowly.
[0051] T4 is the fourth stage after the radiation-induced mode instability effect occurs. The laser power increases and gradually stabilizes and is higher than the original value, the leakage light power decreases and gradually stabilizes (the rate of change within 15 minutes is less than 1.5%), and the temperature of the reverse beam combining area gradually decreases to a stable value (the rate of change within 15 minutes is less than 2.0%).
[0052] The T` stage is when the laser is exposed for a long time and the radiation-induced loss in the laser gradually decreases due to the combined effects of photobleaching and thermal bleaching. At this time, the radiation-induced mode instability effect is suppressed and the various parameters of the laser return to normal.
[0053] Specifically in this embodiment, the temperature monitoring module monitors that the temperature of the reverse beam combining area rises by 10°C within 10 seconds, the optical power detection module monitors that the leakage optical power of the pump arm of the reverse beam combiner increases by 75W within 10 seconds, and the near-infrared photoelectric sensor and the time domain / frequency domain analysis module monitor that the collimated laser has repeated pulses on the millisecond scale in the time domain and envelope peaks on the kilohertz scale in the frequency domain, and at the same time triggers the temperature alarm, leakage optical power alarm, and time / frequency domain alarm signal; the recognition module determines that the radiation-induced mode instability effect has occurred at this time. In order to protect the safety of the fiber laser, the electronic control The module executed the instruction to limit the pump power. At this time, the pump current value can be reduced but not allowed to continue to increase. After 2 hours of continuous light output, the temperature of the reverse beam combining area has dropped and gradually stabilized (the rate of change is less than 1.5% within 15 minutes), the leakage light power of the pump arm of the reverse beam combiner has dropped and gradually stabilized (the rate of change is less than 2.0% within 15 minutes), and the time / frequency domain characteristic signal of the collimated laser has disappeared. At this time, the radiation-induced mode instability effect of the laser has been effectively suppressed. The identification module makes a judgment, and the pump power limit is released by the electric control module. The pump current value can continue to increase. Affected by the radiation-induced loss, the output power of the laser is stabilized at 900W at this time, which is still lower than the 1000W before irradiation, but the radiation-induced mode instability effect has been effectively suppressed.
[0054] The test results of this embodiment show that the present invention can accurately judge whether the fiber laser has radiation-induced mode instability effect based on multiple characteristic signals and perform corresponding operations, further realizing effective suppression of radiation-induced mode instability effect on the basis of ensuring the safety of the fiber laser. The present invention has the advantages of accurate judgment, simple optical path, modular design, etc., and can fill the gap in the related field of high-power fiber lasers for space use that effectively suppress radiation-induced mode instability effect, and provide strong guarantee for the execution of space missions.

Any person skilled in the art may make possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
