Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to high -power fiber laser technical field, more specifically, it relates to a kind of fiber filter and fiber laser system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Laser has evolved into a research field with huge branches after decades of rapid development. From a horizontal point of view, the development of high-power lasers represents one of the highest levels of technology in the use of energy. Among the various lasers, fiber lasers are widely used in different fields due to their good beam quality, high efficiency, excellent heat dissipation performance, compact structure, high reliability, waveguide transmission and other advantages.
[0003] Stimulated Raman scattering is an important limiting factor for further improving the output power of fiber lasers. For high-power fiber lasers, when the output power of a single fiber reaches kilowatts, the power density in the core will be very high, and at this time, nonlinear effects are likely to occur, causing the monochromaticity of the output light to decrease. At this time, the nonlinear effects in the fiber are also the main source of the decline in the output signal light power characteristics, including stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering. Stimulated Brillouin scattering light frequency shift mainly occurs in narrow spectrum (usually spectral width less than 0.8 nm) fiber lasers, and usually industrial applications such as cutting, welding, cladding, etc. use fiber lasers with relatively wide spectrum, where stimulated Raman scattering is the most important limiting factor.
[0004] In a wide-spectrum high-power fiber laser, once the signal light output power reaches the stimulated Raman scattering threshold, the signal light power will be converted into Stokes light power, which will have a significant impact on the high-power fiber laser system, including the following aspects:
[0005] (1) Stimulated Raman scattering reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of the laser system. Due to stimulated Raman scattering, the Stokes light power grows exponentially. If the light outside the signal light is considered as noise, the signal-to-noise ratio of the laser output will decrease dramatically.
[0006] (2) Stimulated Raman scattering leads to a decrease in beam quality. In recent years, several reports have shown that stimulated Raman scattering not only causes the output signal light power to stagnate, but also the heat generated by quantum loss during stimulated Raman scattering process causes the grating effect, which is an important factor causing the degradation of beam quality and even transverse mode instability. Recent experimental studies have shown that even in the case of low stimulated Raman scattering power, it can still cause quasi-static mode degradation, affecting the beam quality.
[0007] (3) Stimulated Raman scattering reduces the reliability of the laser system. The Stokes light generated by stimulated Raman scattering is bidirectional, and the back transmission of the Stokes light will undoubtedly bring risks to the optical fiber device if the power is too high. On the other hand, due to the fact that the transmission wavelength of the high-transmission membrane of the finished laser system is not completely matched with the wavelength of the Stokes light, the thermal effect of the reflection site under high-power conditions will cause the system reliability to decrease, and even cause the laser to burn out.
[0008] (4) Stimulated Raman scattering limits the length of the laser output armor. The stimulated Raman scattering threshold and the length of the effective optical fiber are inversely proportional, which has a certain impact on the application of the current high-power fiber laser machine. The effective length of the optical fiber refers to the length of the optical fiber on the whole laser transmission route including the active optical fiber and the passive optical fiber. Therefore, if the stimulated Raman scattering cannot be effectively controlled, the length of the energy transmission cable cannot be made too long, and the length of the armor will inevitably limit the convenience and work efficiency of the super-large format processing machine tool in application.
[0009] In summary, in practical applications, in order to further improve the output performance of the existing high-power high-beam-quality fiber laser system, effective strategies must be taken to suppress stimulated Raman scattering in high-power fiber lasers. At present, researchers at home and abroad have proposed various methods to suppress stimulated Raman scattering in high-power fiber lasers from the aspects of fiber design and system optimization. Among them, fiber grating filters have attracted widespread attention due to their high Raman suppression ratio, low insertion loss, flexible application, relatively short preparation period, and other characteristics. It is a high-efficiency and simple method for suppressing stimulated Raman scattering in high-power fiber lasers, mainly including chirped tilted Bragg gratings and long-period gratings. Although chirped tilted Bragg gratings have achieved good results in the filtering and suppression of stimulated Raman scattering, the current chirped tilted Bragg gratings are formed by refractive index modulation in the fiber core to realize mode coupling, which inevitably causes insertion loss to the signal light transmitted in the fiber core during the preparation process, causing heating and reducing system stability. In addition, the residual Bragg reflection of the chirped tilted Bragg grating also has a great impact on its working performance, such as the easy excitation of random Raman laser under high power.
[0010] Long period grating is a kind of passive optical fiber device, which can avoid the back reflection of Bragg reflection in the high power application, because the mechanism of long period grating does not exist. In addition, the preparation method of long period grating is various, and the photosensitivity of optical fiber is not hard, so there is no need for long hydrogenation annealing process, and the heat effect caused by residual hydrogen in the laser transmission process is also avoided. Some preparation methods can form long period grating by refractive index modulation in the cladding, so the insertion loss is extremely low in theory. The above characteristics show that long period grating is a kind of passive optical fiber device which is naturally compatible with high power fiber laser. However, although many reports in recent years show that long period grating is more suitable for high power fiber laser stimulated Raman scattering suppression in normal working state, the long period grating stimulated Raman scattering suppression is still limited to single mode / quasi single mode kilowatt level fiber laser, and there is still a certain gap with actual high power application, which is due to the following reasons: the current long period fiber grating is a large mode field few mode fiber long period grating, that is, the long period fiber grating is directly written in the large mode field few mode fiber, which will produce core mode conversion and core-cladding mode cross coupling effect, and seriously affect the application effect of long period fiber grating. The mode coupling of large mode field few mode fiber long period grating with large power bearing capacity leads to the degradation of stimulated Raman scattering suppression effect.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 In an embodiment, a fiber filter is provided, which is connected by a first mode field adapter 62, a long period fiber grating and a second mode field adapter 64. The long period fiber grating is a single mode long period fiber grating 63. The input end fiber 61 of the first mode field adapter and the output end fiber 65 of the second mode field adapter are both large mode field few mode fibers. The input end of the first mode field adapter and the output end of the second mode field adapter are large ends. The core diameter, cladding diameter and refractive index distribution of the large end are matched with the large mode field few mode fiber. The output end of the first mode field adapter and the input end of the second mode field adapter are small ends. The core diameter, cladding diameter and refractive index distribution of the small end are matched with the single mode fiber of the long period fiber grating. The large end and the small end of the mode field adapter are a taper region. The length of the taper region satisfies the following relationship:
[0038] ;
[0039] wherein , These are the core diameters at the large and small ends, respectively. This is the maximum allowable cone angle for an adiabatic taper.
[0040] The cone length of the mode field matcher is designed based on the adiabatic conditions. These conditions require slow changes in the mode field to avoid mode coupling. ,in For the operating wavelength, The difference in refractive index between the core and the cladding. The average core diameter of the cone region.
[0041] The mode field diameter of large-mode-field few-mode fibers (e.g., >15μm) is significantly mismatched with that of single-mode fibers (approximately 10μm) and the mode field of long-period fiber gratings in single-mode fibers. Direct connection of these fibers results in extremely high insertion loss (potentially exceeding 3dB-5dB) and severe mode perturbations. By employing a tapered design between the large and small ends of the mode field matcher, a smooth, low-loss conversion of the mode field size is achieved.
[0042] The optical fibers at both ends of the fiber filter are large-mode-field few-mode fibers, enabling the entire device to withstand and transmit extremely high optical power while maintaining very low linear and nonlinear losses. The structural dimensions of the large-mode-field few-mode fiber can be determined based on the fiber dimensions in the actual fiber laser system used in the application. The middle part of the structure is a single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating 63. The large-mode-field few-mode fiber and the single-mode fiber are connected by a mode field matcher. This structure can couple the laser light of all core modes in the core of the large-mode-field few-mode fiber into the single-mode fiber. The center wavelength of the resonant peak of the transmission spectrum of the long-period fiber grating is in the range of 1130nm-1140nm, which corresponds precisely to the excitation wavelength of stimulated Raman scattering in silica fiber.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in the transmission spectrum of an embodiment of the fiber optic filter, the center wavelength of the resonance peak of the single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating 63 coincides with the center wavelength of stimulated Raman scattering, thus suppressing stimulated Raman scattering. The single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating 63 is a long-period fiber grating inscribed on a single-mode fiber.
[0044] The optical fibers at both ends of the fiber filter are large-mode-field few-mode fibers. The diameter of the large-mode-field few-mode fiber is not limited and can be commonly used such as 250 micrometers, 400 micrometers, 600 micrometers, etc., to match the size of the large-mode-field few-mode fiber in the actual fiber laser system in the specific application.
[0045] The large-mode-field few-mode fiber has a core diameter between 15μm and 30μm, a relative refractive index difference between the core and cladding between 0.1% and 0.5%, and supports 2 to 10 modes.
[0046] The fiber filter provided by the above embodiments can be used before the output end cap of a fiber laser oscillator, before the output end cap of a fiber laser amplifier, or between the seed light and the amplification stage of a fiber laser amplifier, to filter out the stimulated Raman scattering components in the seed laser.
[0047] In an embodiment, a fiber laser system is provided, which includes a fiber laser and an output end cap, and the fiber filter is connected between the output end of the fiber laser and the input end of the output end cap. The output fiber of the fiber laser and the input fiber of the output end cap are both large-mode-area few-mode fibers. The output fiber of the fiber laser is connected to the input end of the first mode field adapter of the fiber filter, and the output end of the second mode field adapter of the fiber filter is connected to the input end of the output end cap. The input fiber of the first mode field adapter and the output fiber of the second mode field adapter are both large-mode-area few-mode fibers corresponding to the output fiber of the fiber laser and the input fiber of the output end cap respectively.
[0048] The structure and type of the fiber laser are not limited, and the fiber laser can be a fiber laser oscillator or a fiber laser amplifier. The structure and type of the fiber laser oscillator are not limited, and the fiber laser oscillator can be a forward-pumped fiber laser oscillator, a backward-pumped fiber laser oscillator, or a bidirectional-pumped fiber laser oscillator.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 In an embodiment, a fiber laser system is provided, which includes a pump source 1, a first pump combiner 2, a high-reflection grating 3, a first gain fiber 5, a low-reflection grating 4, a fiber filter 6, and an output end cap 7. The high-reflection grating 3, the first gain fiber 5, and the low-reflection grating 4 are connected in sequence to form a resonant cavity. One or more pump sources 1 are connected to the corresponding pump arms of the first pump combiner 2, and the pump light output by the pump source 1 is injected into the first gain fiber 5 of the resonant cavity through the first pump combiner 2. The center wavelengths of the high-reflection grating 3 and the low-reflection grating 4 are the same, and the reflectivities are different, to achieve the function of outputting laser of a specific wavelength. The high-reflection grating 3, the first gain fiber 5, and the low-reflection grating 4 are all large-mode-area few-mode fibers, and the input fiber of the output end cap 7 is also a large-mode-area few-mode fiber. The core of the large-mode-area few-mode fiber can accommodate more than one transmission mode, and a long-period fiber grating that can efficiently suppress stimulated Raman scattering cannot be directly written on the large-mode-area few-mode fiber. The fiber filter 6 in this embodiment is the fiber filter provided in the above embodiments. Figure 1 The fiber filter provided by the above embodiments. In the fiber filter 6, the input fiber 61 of the first mode field adapter is directly fused with the low-reflection grating 4 based on the large-mode-area few-mode fiber, and the output fiber 65 of the second mode field adapter is fused with the input fiber of the output end cap 7 to output high-power fiber laser.
[0050] The introduction of the optical fiber filter can suppress stimulated Raman scattering in the large-mode-area few-mode fiber laser by the single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating of the optical fiber filter without affecting the output power, thereby improving the output performance of the fiber laser. The resonant wavelength of the single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating is consistent with the center wavelength of the stimulated Raman scattering. When high-power laser is transmitted through the optical fiber filter, the signal light part in the laser can pass through the optical fiber filter without being affected, while the stimulated Raman scattering component in the laser is coupled into the cladding by the single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating and is lost, thereby improving the purity of the signal light in the output laser.

In the seed laser, the high-reflection grating 3, the first gain fiber 5, and the low-reflection grating 4 are connected in sequence to form a resonant cavity, and one or more pump sources 1 are respectively connected to the corresponding pump arms of the first pump combiner 2, and the pump light output by the pump source 1 is injected into the first gain fiber 5 of the resonant cavity through the first pump combiner 2. The center wavelengths of the high-reflection grating 3 and the low-reflection grating 4 are the same, and the reflectivities are different, so as to output laser of a specific wavelength. In the laser power amplification optical path, one or more pump sources 1 are respectively connected to the corresponding pump arms of the two second pump combiners 8, and the second gain fiber 9 is connected between the two second pump combiners 8, one of which is connected to the output end of the seed laser (i.e., the output end of the low-reflection grating 4), and the other is connected to the input end of the optical fiber filter 6, and the output end of the optical fiber filter 6 is connected to the input end of the output end cap 7. The high-reflection grating 3, the first gain fiber 5, the low-reflection grating 4, the second gain fiber 9, and each pump combiner are large-mode-area few-mode fibers or use large-mode-area few-mode fibers as carrier fibers, and the core of the large-mode-area few-mode fiber can accommodate more than one transmission mode. The optical fiber filter 6 in the embodiment is a single-mode fiber long-period fiber grating Figure 1The embodiment shown provides a fiber filter. In the fiber filter 6, the input end fiber 61 of the first mode field adapter is directly fused with the output end fiber (a large mode field few mode fiber) of the second pump combiner 8, the output end fiber 65 of the second mode field adapter is fused with the input end fiber (a large mode field few mode fiber) of the output end cap 7, and high-power fiber laser is output through the output end cap 7.
