Description

Double cladding large mode field area Yb-doped photon crystal optical fiber femtosecond laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of double cladding large mode field area Yb-doped photon crystal optical fiber femtosecond laser, belonged to laser technology and non-linear optical field.
Background technology
It is stable that ultrashort pulse fiber laser has running, and the integrated level height is cheap, the outstanding advantage that waits easy to maintenance, and extensively commercialization at present, in optical communication, the fields such as exploration of ultrafast phenomena have a wide range of applications in life science and the basic science.Ultrashort pulse fiber laser general using passive mode-locking obtains the laser pulse of femtosecond magnitude.The passive mode-locking mode of ultrashort pulse fiber laser has nonlinear polarization rotation locked mode, nonlinear optical fiber annular mirror locked mode, several modes such as semiconductor saturable absorbing mirror (SESAM) locked mode.Nonlinear polarization rotation locked mode need add many polarization control components in light path, adjust relatively difficulty, and this locked mode mode is saturated easily under the high impulse energy, therefore is only applicable to low pulse energy ultrashort pulse fiber laser.The repetition frequency of the ultrashort pulse fiber laser of nonlinear optical fiber annular mirror locked mode is difficult to control, less stable.Semiconductor saturable absorbing mirror is based on a semiconductor saturable absorber that is integrated on the completely reflecting mirror, compact conformation is easy to adjust, and can realize the self-starting of locked mode, make the laser pulse of laser instrument acquisition femtosecond magnitude simultaneously, be very suitable for the locked mode of ultrashort pulse fiber laser.Single pulse energy is an important indicator of weighing the ultrashort pulse fiber laser performance.Single pulse energy based on the ultrashort pulse fiber laser of traditional fiber can be subjected to following two aspect factors restrictions.The first, this fiber laser must use lower powered single mode laser diodes laser instrument (LD) pumping, has limited the injection level of energy.The second, the fibre core of traditional fiber is very little, makes that the nonlinear effect when high-octane ultrashort pulse is transmitted in optical fiber is stronger, and this can cause the pulse division, thereby destroys the stability of ultrashort pulse fiber laser running.Based on the reason of this two aspect, the single pulse energy of traditional ultrashort pulse fiber laser is generally in skin joule (pJ) magnitude, and the highest also have only several receive joule (nJ).In order to obtain higher pulse energy, often need amplifier stage that the ultrashort pulse of laser instrument output is amplified, and amplification process has not only increased the cost of laser system, sacrificed its ease for use, and shape that can paired pulses and the stability of repetition frequency causes certain destruction, limited its range of application to a great extent.Therefore, direct ultrashort laser pulse output from laser instrument acquisition high impulse energy has outstanding realistic meaning.The double clad structure provides possibility for the single pulse energy that improves ultrashort pulse fiber laser.This optical fiber is by fibre core, and inner cladding and surrounding layer constitute.Doping gain ion in the fibre core, laser transmits in fiber core with single-mold and amplifies, and inner cladding also is the fibre core of pump light as the fibre core covering simultaneously, allows the high-power LD pump light of multimode directly to inject, and surrounding layer plays the effect of pump light covering.In order further to reduce the non-linear of doubly clad optical fiber, need improve the diameter of fibre core greatly.In the inner cladding of doubly clad optical fiber and surrounding layer, introduce the airport structure of periodic arrangement, promptly obtain double-clad photon crystal optical fibre.Under certain airport size and pitch of holes situation, this photonic crystal fiber can provide than the mode field area of the big order of magnitude of traditional fiber and keep the single mode running, thereby in sacrificial light beam quality not, reduce non-linear in the optical fiber effectively, reach the purpose that improves the laser instrument single pulse energy.By to deep the discovering of ultrashort pulse fiber laser operative mechanism, the restriction that the non-linear pulsed energy of optical fiber improves is caused by the pulse division, and pulse division and pulse shape are closely related.Traditional ultrashort pulse fiber laser turns round in orphan's locked mode mode, and pulse shape is hyperbolic secant shape, and the non-linear chirp of its introducing can cause the pulse division.If make laser works in the self similarity mode-lock status, can obtain parabola shaped pulse shape, and linear chrip is supported in the pulse of this shape, under very strong nonlinear fiber effect, pulse can not divided yet, thereby can make single pulse energy that fiber laser obtains at least than the high order of magnitude of traditional fiber laser.Another important indicator of fiber laser is exactly its stability.Environmental impact around the running of tradition ultrashort pulse fiber laser is subjected to is very big, and the enhancing polarization property that the double cladding large mode field area photonic crystal fiber can provide simultaneously makes the running of this fiber laser can obtain splendid stability.About the document that relates to the technology of the present invention and report as follows:

locked mode mode, grating pair 6,7 overcompensations this moment the material dispersion of photonic crystal fiber, be clean anomalous dispersion in the chamber.Utilize spectroanalysis instrument to observe the spectrum of hyperbolic secant shape from laser output, utilize autocorrelator to observe its output pulse, pulsewidth is 100~200fs.But the energy of pulse is seriously limited, strengthens pump power, can make locked mode become unstable.Reduce the interval between the grating pair 6,7 this moment, reaches clean normal dispersion in laser cavity, and the net dispersion amount is 0.015~0.03ps 2Between, can observe Parabolic spectral shape on the spectrometer this moment, and promptly laser instrument turns round in self similarity locked mode mode.Strengthen pump power, laser instrument still can steady running, and single pulse energy can reach little joule.The pulse meeting of output is wide during than orphan's locked mode, in the ps magnitude, and follows linear chrip.By adjusting the spacing of the outer grating pair in chamber, linearity that can full remuneration output pulse is just warbled, the pulse width of acquisition Fourier transform limit, and pulse width is 100~200fs.
