DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the term "or" is usually used in the sense of including "and / or", unless the content clearly indicates otherwise.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The widely used fiber combiners have serious mode mismatch problems in large mode area fiber amplifiers. This mismatch not only leads to a decrease in the quality of the output beam, but also significantly reduces the time domain contrast of the pulse. At the same time, traditional fiber optic device packaging technology usually uses GRIN lenses for laser collimation or focusing, but due to the small size and short focal length of GRIN lenses, it is difficult to effectively match them with large core diameter and large mode area gain fibers. In addition, the existing technology lacks an effective real-time power monitoring and feedback control mechanism, making it difficult for the system to maintain a stable output efficiency under the influence of environmental factors such as temperature changes.

[0042] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, reference is made to Figure 1 — Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention provides a backward pumped fiber laser amplification device, the structure of which at least includes a signal light collimation module 10, a pump light collimation module 20, a coupling module 30 and a monitoring and feedback control circuit 40; wherein the signal light collimation module 10 is used to transmit and amplify the input signal light 16, and collimate the amplified signal light 16 for output; the pump light collimation module 20 is used to generate pump light 25 and collimate it and output it to the coupling module 30; the coupling module 30 is used to realize the spatial coupling of the pump light 25 and the signal light 16, and ensure that the pump light 25 can enter the gain fiber 12 in the opposite direction to the signal light 16, and also has a splitting function, which is used to separate part of the signal light 16 and the pump light 25 for power monitoring; the monitoring and feedback control circuit 40 is used to receive the power information of the separated signal light 16 and the pump light 25, and adjust the output power of the pump diode 21 in the pump light collimation module 20 through negative feedback control to achieve stable operation of the system.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 Preferably, the coupling module 30 is arranged between the signal light collimation module 10 and the pump light collimation module 20. The pump light 25 generated by the pump light collimation module 20 coincides with the optical path of the signal light collimation module 10 after passing through the coupling module 30, and enters the gain optical fiber 12 in the signal light collimation module 10 in the opposite direction to the signal light 16, so as to realize signal power amplification.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the signal light collimation module 10 includes a front-stage optical fiber path 11, a gain optical fiber 12, a gain optical fiber connector 13, a signal light collimation sleeve 14 and a signal light collimation lens 15 which are arranged in sequence; wherein the signal light is generated by the front-stage optical fiber path 11, and is connected to the gain optical fiber 12 by optical fiber fusion splicing, the gain optical fiber 12 is used to achieve power amplification of the signal light 16, the output end of the gain optical fiber 12 is fixed in the signal light collimation sleeve 14 through the gain optical fiber connector 13, the signal light collimation lens 15 is also fixed in the signal light collimation sleeve 14, the signal light collimation lens 15 is used to collimate the output amplified signal light 16 and transmit it to the coupling module 30, and the signal light collimation sleeve 14 is used to provide a stable mechanical installation reference for the optical element.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the pump light collimation module 20 includes a pump diode 21, a pump fiber connector 22, a pump light collimation sleeve 23 and a pump light collimation lens 24 which are arranged in sequence; the pump light 25 is generated by the pump diode 21 and transmitted through the pump fiber, and the pump fiber is fixed in the pump light collimation sleeve 23 through the pump fiber connector 22. The pump light collimation lens 24 is also fixed in the pump light collimation sleeve 23, and is used to collimate the output pump light 25 and transmit it to the coupling module 30.

[0046] Preferably, the optical paths of the signal light collimation module 10 and the pump light collimation module 20 are kept parallel, which enables the coupling module 30 to achieve precise spatial overlap of the pump light 25 and the signal light 16 on the one hand, and is conducive to folding the optical path in a limited space, making the entire device structure more compact.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the coupling module 30 includes a coupling adjustment device 33, an adjustable dichroic mirror 32 and a fixed dichroic mirror 31; wherein the fixed dichroic mirror 31 is arranged on the optical path of the pump light 25 and is located at the incident end of the adjustable dichroic mirror 32. The pump light 25 from the pump light collimation module 20 is first irradiated onto the fixed dichroic mirror 31, and enters the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 after being reflected by the fixed dichroic mirror 31. At the same time, the amplified signal light 16 from the signal light collimation module 10 is directly irradiated onto the adjustable dichroic mirror 32. The setting of the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 enables 95% of the signal light 16 to be transmitted through, while reflecting the pump light 25 from the fixed dichroic mirror 31, thereby achieving spatial overlap of the pump light 25 and the signal light 16, and ensuring that the pump light 25 can enter the gain fiber 12 in the opposite direction to the signal light 16, providing pumping for laser stimulated emission amplification, and realizing power amplification of the signal light 16.

[0048] Preferably, the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 and the fixed dichroic mirror 31 are the same type of 45° incident angle reflectors, wherein the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 has a high reflectivity (≥99%) for the pump light 25 with a wavelength of 976nm, and has a transmittance of 95% and a reflectivity of 5% for the signal light 16 with a wavelength of 1030nm; the fixed dichroic mirror 31 has a reflectivity of 98% and a transmittance of 2% for the pump light 25 with a wavelength of 976nm, and has a high transmittance (≥95%) for the signal light 16 with a wavelength of 1030nm.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 — Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the fixed dichroic mirror 31 is placed at an angle of 45° on the optical path of the pump light 25, and the pump light 25 is reflected 90° and then incident on the adjustable dichroic mirror 32; the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 is also placed at an angle of 45° on the optical path of the signal light 16, and 95% of the signal light 16 is transmitted into the free space, and at the same time, the pump light 25 from the fixed dichroic mirror 31 is reflected 90° and then overlaps with the optical path of the signal light 16; the 2% pump light 25 transmitted through the fixed dichroic mirror 31 and the 5% signal light 16 reflected from the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 are respectively used for real-time power monitoring. This design of lens arrangement and splitting ratio not only ensures the transmission efficiency of the main optical path, but also realizes the power monitoring function of the dual optical paths.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the coupling adjustment device 33 is used to achieve horizontal and vertical angle adjustment of the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 to ensure high-efficiency coupling of the pump light 25 with the gain fiber 12 .

[0051] like Figure 3 — Figure 6 Preferably, the coupling adjustment device 33 includes a fixed base 331, an elastic O-ring 332, a dichroic mirror base 333, a fixing screw 335 and an inclination adjustment screw 334; wherein the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 is fixed on the dichroic mirror base 333, and the dichroic mirror base 333 is connected to the fixed base 331 through the elastic O-ring 332; a groove is provided at the bottom of the fixed base 331, which is connected to the torque device through the groove to realize the rotation adjustment of the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 in the horizontal plane; a plurality of inclination adjustment screws 334 are installed between the fixed base 331 and the dichroic mirror base 333 in a circumferentially uniformly distributed manner, and by adjusting the distance between the inclination adjustment screw 334 and the base, the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 can be accurately adjusted in the vertical direction; the fixing screw 335 is used to lock the relative position between the fixed base 331 and the dichroic mirror base 333 after the adjustment is completed, so as to achieve long-term structural stability. In this embodiment, the structure of the torque device is not specifically limited, and those skilled in the art may select any implementation method disclosed in the prior art.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the backward-pumped fiber laser amplifier device also includes a signal light monitoring device 52 and a pump light monitoring device 51; the signal light monitoring device 52 is arranged on the transmission light path of the fixed dichroic mirror 31, and is used to receive the 5% signal light 16 reflected by the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 and transmitted through the fixed dichroic mirror 31, so as to perform power monitoring of the signal light 16; the pump light monitoring device 51 is arranged on the transmission light path of the fixed dichroic mirror 31, and is used to receive the 2% pump light 25 transmitted through the fixed dichroic mirror 31, so as to perform power monitoring of the pump light 25.

[0053] Preferably, the signal light monitoring device 52 and the pump light monitoring device 51 are both photoelectric detectors for converting received optical signals into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the monitoring and feedback control circuit 40 via a coaxial cable. The monitoring and feedback control circuit 40 calculates the power ratio of the pump light 25 to the signal light 16 based on the received signal, and adjusts the output power of the pump diode 21 in real time accordingly, thereby forming a closed-loop feedback control system to ensure that the system can maintain a stable output efficiency when the external environment changes such as temperature changes.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the monitoring and feedback control circuit 40 mainly includes a signal acquisition module, a microprocessor control unit and a drive circuit.

[0055] Specifically, the signal acquisition module is connected to the signal light monitoring device 52 and the pump light monitoring device 51 respectively, and receives and processes the electrical signals from the two photodetectors; the microprocessor control unit calculates the power ratio of the two optical signals in real time, and compares the ratio with the preset threshold value. When the power ratio deviates from the preset range, the microprocessor control unit will output a corresponding control signal to the drive circuit. The drive circuit adjusts the injection current of the pump diode 21 accordingly according to the received control signal, thereby adjusting its output power, effectively suppressing the output power instability of the system caused by factors such as temperature fluctuations, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the laser amplifier.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the spatial coupling of the pump light 25 and the signal light 16 is achieved through the special arrangement of the adjustable dichroic mirror 32 and the fixed dichroic mirror 31 in the coupling module 30, thereby avoiding the mode mismatch problem of the conventional fiber combiner in the large mode field fiber. At the same time, the horizontal and vertical bidirectional precision adjustment function of the coupling adjustment device 33 ensures the high-efficiency coupling of the pump light 25 and the gain fiber 12.

[0057] Furthermore, the power monitoring function of the signal light 16 and the pump light 25 is integrated in the coupling optical path, and the real-time power monitoring of the dual optical paths is realized without affecting the transmission efficiency of the main optical path through the reasonable splitting ratio design of the dichroic mirror. The precise adjustment of the pump diode 21 by the monitoring and feedback control circuit 40 not only improves the long-term stability of the system, but also enables the entire optical fiber amplifier system to maintain the stable output efficiency of the high-power laser in a temperature-changing environment.

[0058] Finally, the backward-pumped fiber laser amplification device provided in the embodiment of the present invention adopts a modular design, the connection between the functional components is stable and reliable, installation and debugging are convenient, it has good engineering practicality, is suitable for large-scale production, and the overall structure is compact and has strong environmental adaptability, and can operate stably for a long time under complex working conditions.
