AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fiber amplifiers are prone to nonlinear effects when increasing laser power, which leads to a decrease in beam quality. Furthermore, traditional methods are costly and complex, making it difficult to achieve high-beam-quality laser output.

Method used

By introducing a phase modulator, a single transverse mode laser is converted into a coherent multi-transverse mode laser, and the phase difference of each mode is optimized in the main amplification stage so that they meet at the target position. Combined with a focusing lens, a high beam quality laser output is obtained.

Benefits of technology

It improves the nonlinear threshold of the fiber amplifier, avoids beam quality degradation, broadens the selection space of gain fiber, reduces the difficulty and cost of fabrication, and facilitates system integration.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种具有高非线性阈值的光纤激光放大器,放大器包括:激光种子源、预放大级、光调制器、主放大级和聚焦透镜,预放大级对激光种子源的光功率提升后,将基于相位调制的光调制器置于预放大级与主放大级之间,对预放大级输出的激光进行波前整形,单横模激光被转换为相干的多横模激光后,再耦合进入主放大级的大模场光纤中进行功率提升;多横模激光注入光纤纤芯中,利用光调制器调控多横模激光的每个模态的相位,使得所有的模态在主放大级中大模场光纤的出射端的目标位置相遇且相位差为2kπ(k为整数),结合使用聚焦透镜获得高光束质量的聚焦光斑。本发明有效地提高了高功率光纤激光器中各非线性效应的阈值,输出了高功率、高光束质量的光纤激光。
