Description

Polarization-maintaining erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac ring self-excited multi-wavelength narrow linewidth Brillouin laser
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical devices, in particular to a polarization-maintaining erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac ring self-excited multi-wavelength narrow linewidth Brillouin laser.

At present, the methods for narrowing the line width include: narrow slow light effect, narrow optical fiber scattering effect, optical external cavity feedback method and the like.
In the existing research technology of multi-wavelength narrow linewidth Brillouin optical fiber lasers, the invention patents proposed by the Mongolian and the like are disclosed as follows: CN102946041A entitled "tunable single polarization ultra narrow linewidth Brillouin erbium-doped fiber laser"; the invention patents proposed by the congress of the gods and the like disclose the following patent documents: the invention name of CN102361210A is 'a single-frequency ultra-narrow linewidth Brillouin erbium-doped fiber laser'; the laser device modulates the cavity length and the Brillouin gain by controlling the piezoelectric ceramics, the linear gain is easy to be influenced, the linear gain and the nonlinear gain cannot be accurately matched, the output multi-wavelength laser has uneven power and low optical signal-to-noise ratio, and the narrow-linewidth laser output is ensured by adopting a narrow-linewidth laser source and a narrow-band optical filter; when the cavity length is reduced, in order to reach a certain gain value, the input power of the pump needs to be continuously increased, or the locking phenomenon of the over-high optical power is easily caused by increasing the power of the EDFA, and the position of the EDFA needs to be changed, so that the operation is inconvenient. Both the two methods adopt a short cavity method to obtain the multi-wavelength laser output with narrow line width, although the method is simple and practical, the cavity length needs to be continuously shortened due to the influence of the line width and the mode of the laser output spectrum caused by the fluorescence effect of the erbium-doped fiber, and the requirement is very strict; secondly, when the resonant cavity is very short, the laser working substance is limited to a certain extent, and in order to achieve a certain gain value, the input power of a pumping source needs to be increased continuously, even the doping concentration in the optical fiber needs to be increased, so that the cost is increased; and it is difficult to ensure a greater amount of power-flat laser output with both of these configurations.

incident light directed to polarization-maintaining erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac loop 8 is split into two identical waves by 3dB coupler 4 forming polarization-maintaining erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac loop 8. These two waves then propagate in opposite directions in the unpumped erbium doped fibre 7, standing waves thereby forming. The spatial light intensity distribution can be easily determined as lambda/2 neffWhere λ is the center wavelength and 2neffIs the effective refractive index of the erbium doped fibre 7. Considering the energy level of erbium ion in two-level system4I15/2And4I13/2composition, wherein the saturation absorption coefficient can be expressed as:

wherein IsatDue to the difference in i (z) and absorption coefficients α (z) of the spatially periodic distribution, resulting in a periodic spatial variation of the refractive index, corresponding to an FBG filter, the reflected light is combined and transmitted through the coupler.
During operation, ASE light generated by the erbium-doped fiber amplifier EDFA1 enters the single-mode fiber SMF3 from the port b through the port a of the optical circulator 2, is injected into the polarization-erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac ring 8 to be wound for a circle and then returns to the original path, enters the port c from the port b of the optical circulator, is divided into two parts after passing through the optical coupler 9, wherein one part is used as detection light and is output to a spectrum analyzer for observation; the remaining portion re-enters the erbium doped fiber amplifier EDFA1 to resonate in the resonant cavity. When the pumping power is higher than the Brillouin threshold value, the linear gain of the erbium-doped fiber 7 and the nonlinear Brillouin gain of the single-mode fiber SMF3 are cascaded to generate multi-stage Brillouin Stocks output.
The erbium-doped fiber laser is a polarization-maintaining erbium-doped polarization-maintaining Sagnac ring self-excited multi-wavelength narrow linewidth Brillouin laser, and has the advantages of simple structure, flat output power, narrow linewidth and large quantity of multi-wavelength lasers. Two sections of polarization-maintaining fibers 6 with the same length in the Sagnac loop are connected to two sides of an unpumped erbium-doped fiber 7 to form a polarization-maintaining FBG filter, the standing wave absorption pressure narrow filtering effect of the polarization-maintaining FBG filter is utilized to obtain laser output with narrow line width, and the absorption effect of the unpumped erbium-doped fiber in the loop enables the output laser to be large in quantity and flat in power.
