This invention relates to the field of
laser technology, specifically to a
hybrid MOPA
laser system with tapered
gain fiber pre-amplification. The
system, along its
optical path, sequentially comprises: an all-
fiber pulse seed source, a uniform
gain fiber pre-amplification link, a tapered
gain fiber pre-
amplifier module, a free-space optical transmission
processing module, and a
solid-state main
amplifier module. The tapered gain fiber pre-
amplifier module includes a pump LD, a pump /
signal combiner, and a tapered gain fiber. This invention utilizes a tapered gain fiber as the pre-amplification core, combining the high stability and high repetition rate capability of an all-
fiber structure with the high nonlinear threshold and
high power output capability resulting from mode field spreading. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional
solid-state regenerative pre-amplification, such as poor stability and low repetition rate, as well as the power limitations of traditional uniform fiber pre-amplification, providing a high-quality, high-
power injection beam for the subsequent
solid-state main amplifier, ultimately achieving high beam quality, high repetition rate, high average power, and high
pulse energy laser output.
