The invention relates to a light-weight high-power pumping source which comprises a shell and N sets of pumping light chips installed in the shell in a partitioned mode, N is an integer larger than or equal to 1, and each set of pumping light chips comprises a corresponding
coupling mirror set. Each group of pump light chips is used for emitting pump
laser with different wavelengths, the pump
laser is subjected to
beam shaping through the respective corresponding
coupling mirror group and then is coupled to the output
optical fiber through the output mirror group, and the shell is made of a
graphene reinforced aluminum-based
composite material. On one hand, excellent mechanical performance and stability are kept, and on the other hand, the density of the
fiber laser is far lower than that of
oxygen-free
copper, so that the weight of a pumping source under unit power is effectively reduced, and the whole
fiber laser
system is lighter and easier to install and maintain; meanwhile, the multi-
wavelength pump light
chip is introduced, the
wavelength distribution of the pump light is optimized, the pump light is made to better conform to the absorption characteristic of the
ytterbium-doped
optical fiber, the
thermal load of the
ytterbium-doped
optical fiber is effectively dispersed, the threshold value of the mode
instability effect is remarkably increased, and therefore the
power output capacity and the long-term operation stability of an optical
fiber laser
system are improved.
