不同泵浦波长光纤激光器模式不稳定效应对比

一般认为,光纤激光器模式不稳定效应主要来自于泵浦源量子亏损和增益光纤泵浦吸收所产生的热效应。理论分析了光纤中的热源,发现诱发模式不稳定的热效应主要来源于泵浦吸收、其次是量子亏损;利用课题组开发的仿真软件SeeFiberLaser对该结论进行仿真。仿真结果表明:泵浦吸收系数越低,光纤中的最高温度和温度梯度越低,越有利于抑制热致折射率光栅的形成,提高模式不稳定阈值。搭建了纤芯/包层直径为30/400 μm的前向泵浦掺镱光纤激光振荡器,对比研究了中心波长为976 nm 、915 nm和940 nm的泵浦源泵浦时激光器的模式不稳定阈值特性。结果表明,分别采用中心波长为976 nm 、915 nm和940 nm 的半导体激光器作为泵浦源时,激光器模式不稳定阈值分别为279 W、502 W和697 W,光光转化效率分别为67.7%、61%和63%。由此可以发现,泵浦吸收系数对模式不稳定阈值的影响大于量子亏损对模式不稳定阈值的影响,通过改变泵浦波长降低泵浦吸收系数可以有效提升模式不稳定阈值。优化泵浦波长,兼顾量子效率和泵浦吸收系数,是光纤激光器实现高光束质量高模式不稳定阈值的重要技术路线之一。

Pump power stability range of single-mode solid-state lasers with rod thermal lensing

The pump power stability range of solid-state laser resonators operating in the TEM00mode has been thoroughly investigated. It has been shown that, for a very general resonator containing intracavity optical systems, rod thermal lensing engenders a pump power stability range which is a characteristic parameter of laser material and pump cavity, but is independent of resonator configuration. Stability ranges have been calculated and critically discussed for Nd:YAG, Nd:glasses, Nd: Cr: GSGG, and alexandrite. The independence of the pump power stability range from the resonator configuration has been experimentally demonstrated for a CW Nd:YAG laser.

Optimization of fiber-coupled laser-diode end-pumped lasers:influence of pump-beam quality

A general model has been developed for the optimization of fiber-coupled laser-diode pumped lasers by including the effect of pump-beam quality into the mode-overlap integrals. The numerical results of the mode-overlap integrals have been fitted to an analytical function of pump spot size, laser mode size and the parameter β, which is in terms of laser-diode beam quality and properties of the active medium. This analytical function allowed us to obtain explicit formulae for the threshold pump power, the slope efficiency, and the optimum pump spot size. With these formulae, the optimum mode size and the maximum output efficiency can be easily calculated for arbitrary values of β and input power. From the numerical results, we obtained an analytical expression to relate the required input power and pump-beam quality to the desired output efficiency and properties of an active medium. The present model provides a straightforward procedure to design the laser resonator and the optical coupling system for optimization. To illustrate the utility of the present model, a Nd:YAG laser pumped by fiber-coupled laser diodes is considered and optimized
