Description

Flat-top light spot regulation and control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of all-fiber light field regulation and control systems, in particular to a flat-top light spot regulation and control method.
Background
The light emitted by many common lasers is approximately gaussian, and the uneven energy distribution makes processing and communication difficult, and in recent years, solving this problem is a goal of researchers. For example, in the invention of various beam shapers, a flat-top light spot generated by the beam shaper is commonly used for laser processing, and can prevent over-exposure or under-exposure of a specific area, and typical applications of the beam shaper include: cutting, ablation, perforation, scoring, annealing, medical and aesthetic, microscopic and scientific, slide cytometry, etc. The formation of a uniform energy beam makes the application of laser light more advantageous. Or beam shaping by the lens group, effectively changes the profile of the beam. Then, the above-described method using spatial optics is not applicable to an optical fiber system.
In recent years, the demand for bit rates of Local Area Networks (LANs) has sharply increased, asynchronous transfer mode and Ethernet standards have been achieved at bit rates of 100Mb/s and 622Mb/s, respectively, and gigabit per second Ethernet standardization is currently being considered. Such high speed links are expected to be needed primarily for office and campus backbones. Since the main fiber base currently installed in buildings is multimode fiber (MMF), its modal bandwidth imposes an upper limit on the achievable transmission speed and link distance. For such high speed transmission modes, even though alternative approaches such as Single Mode Fiber (SMF) technology and ribbon fiber links exist, it is desirable for cost reasons to develop the link using an already installed base of multimode fiber (MMF). Therefore, overcoming the modal bandwidth problem of multimode optical fibers is an important technique. And in the application of laser, the requirement of large-scale output with uniform energy on the emission technology is also severe. The key problem is that the lasers widely used today for signal transmission have a gaussian shaped beam profile and the power distribution across the beam is not uniform. This causes a number of inconveniences, and beam shaping techniques are required to solve such problems.

The working principle of the invention is as follows:
a first part: after the light source outputs light, the light enters the scatterer after passing through the single mode fiber and the collimating lens. The function of the diffuser is to change the angle of incidence into the multimode fiber, thereby modifying the gaussian distribution (all meridional rays) and the output to a sweet-centered circle (all skew rays) by modifying the ratio of the skew rays and the meridional rays propagating rays (the mixture of meridional rays and skew rays).
A second part: the ratio of the incident noon ray and the oblique ray in the multimode optical fiber is adjusted by adjusting the scatterer so as to achieve a required angle. The change in the incident angle brings about thereby the influence on the phase constant of the internal optical waveguide of the optical fiber. The phase propagation constant is a parameter which has an important influence on the emergent light spot in the optical waveguide, when the parameter is changed, the corresponding excitation electric field intensity can be solved in a Helmholtz equation, and when the parameter is superposed on the power coupling coefficient, the representation form of the power coupling coefficient is changed, so that different output light spots are achieved.
And a third part: the adjusted light beam is incident into the multimode optical fiber through the focusing lens, and then the light beam is collected through the objective lens, the focusing lens and the CCD camera for observation. The change of the incident angle and the change of the emergent facula along with the rotation of the scatterer are observed, thereby achieving the required purpose.
As shown in fig. 2(a), when the included angle between the noon light and the oblique light of the scatterer is 7 °, the light field distribution diagram obtained by the scatterer is stable and uniform in light intensity within a certain radius, the light spot is a flat-top light spot, and the intensity distribution approximately satisfies the high-order gaussian distribution, and satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0003603110990000102
wherein the numerical values of the parameters approximately satisfy the condition that A is 1 and x0=519,ω=385,β=8。
As shown in fig. 2(b), when the eccentric incident angle is further increased to 12 °, a light field with a hollow-circle-shaped intensity distribution is obtained, and the intensity distribution approximately satisfies a parabolic function relationship, as shown in equation (21).
y=A(x-x0)2+β (21)
Wherein the numerical values of the parameters approximately satisfy that A is 1.2 multiplied by 10-5,x0=500,β=0.4。
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered as the technical solutions and the inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope of the present invention.
