The present invention relates to a lightweight high-power pump source, comprising a housing and N pump light chips installed in partitions in the housing, wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, each pump light
chip comprises a respective corresponding
coupling lens group, and each pump light
chip is used for emitting pump
laser light with different wavelengths, performing
beam shaping by means of the respective corresponding
coupling lens group, and then
coupling the pump
laser light to an output
optical fiber by means of an output lens group; and the housing is made of a
graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix
composite material. In the present invention, a lightweight material is used to manufacture a
package housing, and therefore excellent mechanical properties and stability are maintained. Since the density of the lightweight material is much lower than that of
oxygen-free
copper, the weight of the pump source per unit power is effectively reduced, thereby making the entire optical-
fiber laser system more lightweight, and thus facilitating installation and maintenance. Moreover, the present invention introduces multi-
wavelength pump light chips to optimize the
wavelength distribution of pump light, thereby making the pump light better match the absorption characteristics of
ytterbium-doped optical fibers, and thus effectively redistributing the
thermal load of the
ytterbium-doped optical fibers and significantly increasing the threshold value of a mode
instability effect, thus improving the
power output capability and long-term operation stability of the optical-
fiber laser
system.
