Hundred-watt-level linearly polarized tunable Raman random fiber laser

A high power linearly polarized tunable Raman random fiber laser(RFL) was studied theoretically and experimentally. The parameters required for the system design were obtained through numerical simulation, based on which a hundred-watt-level linearly polarized tunable RFL was successfully demonstrated. The central wavelength can be continuously tuned from 1113.76 to 1137.44 nm, and the output power exceeds 100 W for all of the lasing wavelengths with the polarization extinction ratio(PER) exceeding 20 d B at the maximum output power.Besides, the linewidth, spectral evolution, and temporal dynamics of a specified wavelength(1124.72 nm) were investigated in detail. Moreover, the theoretical results and the experimental results fit well. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time for a hundred-watt-level linearly polarized tunable RFL ever reported.     

High-power linearly-polarized tunable Raman fiber laser

In this study, we demonstrate an all-fiber high-power linearly-polarized tunable Raman fiber laser system. An inhouse high-power tunable fiber laser was employed as the pump source. A fiber loop mirror(FLM) serving as a high reflectivity mirror and a flat-cut endface serving as an output coupler were adopted to provide broadband feedback. A piece of 59-m commercial passive fiber was used as the Raman gain medium. The Raman laser had a 27.6 nm tuning range from1112 nm to 1139.6 nm and a maximum output power of 125.3 W, which corresponds to a conversion efficiency of 79.4%.The polarization extinction ratio(PER) at all operational wavelengths was measured to be over 21 d B. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a hundred-watt level linearly-polarized tunable Raman fiber laser.     

长波段半导体激光泵浦光纤激光器实现2 kW功率输出

半导体激光（LD）泵浦的高功率光纤激光器具有效率高、体积小、重量轻、稳定性好等优点,在工业加工等诸多领域都有着广泛的应用。为了提高泵浦光吸收率,传统光纤激光器常用915 nm和976 nm波段的LD作为激光的泵浦源。在该类LD泵浦的光纤激光器中,由于量子亏损和泵浦吸收系数相对较高,光纤激光器的热致模式不稳定（TMI）阈值相对较低。为了提高量子效率和潜在的TMI阈值,提出采用大于1 010 nm波段的LD直接泵浦光纤激光器,产生高量子效率激光。搭建了振荡放大一体化的全光纤激光器,采用总泵浦功率为2.56 kW的1 010 nm波段LD泵浦,首次获得输出功率2.05 kW、光束质量M2约1.7的激光。后续将通过进一步增大泵浦功率、优化光纤特性以实现更高功率、更优光束质量的光纤激光输出。
