Abstract

The invention discloses a random fiber laser system. According to the system, an optical fiber serves as a laser medium, and a fiber laser comprising a crystal fiber laser, a nonlinear fiber laser, a rare earth doped fiber laser and a plastic fiber laser serves as pump light to be coupled into the optical fiber. Because the refractive index of the optical fiber has non-uniformity and is randomly distributed along the optical fiber, so that the photon is subjected to rayleigh scattering during transmission in the optical fiber; and moreover, the pump light provides gain for the backward scattered light along the optical fiber, when the overall gain is greater than the total loss, the backward scattered light is amplified to form random laser. A discrete optical component is not arranged in the light path of the system, so that all-fiber connection is realized. In the system, the residual pump light is returned to the optical fiber, and the distributed weak scattered light is amplified, and therefore, according to the random fiber laser system, the threshold power of the pump light can be reduced, the utilization rate of the pump light can be improved, and the slope efficiency of the laser is improved.

Random distributed feedback fibre laser. Nature Photon.2010 introduces a kind of fiber ring laser system at random among 4,231 – 235.In this system, the pump light of the 1455nm of two bundle equal power is from the midpoint of optical fiber coupled into optical fibres (total length of optical fiber is 83km) in opposite direction.The photon that in optical fiber, transmits is because the inhomogeneous generation coherent scattering of refractive index of optical fiber has formed distributed Rayleigh scattering (RS), and most scattered photon lets out from fiber cores.The backscattered photons of having only minority is along Optical Fiber Transmission.Pump light provides distributed Raman gain along optical fiber.If the overall gain of backscattered photons is during greater than total losses, rear orientation light will be exaggerated and form laser and penetrate from the two ends of optical fiber, and the wavelength of shoot laser is 1550nm.This is the incoherent laser in a kind of space, in a lot of fields important use is arranged.
This Technology Need is improved to be:
1. threshold value problem.Need the threshold power of laser higher in the said system, reach 1.6W, high like this threshold value, too high to the power requirement of pump light, realize difficulty, so the reduction threshold value of must trying every possible means.
2. output power of laser awaits further to improve.Although power output has reached 150mw, in plurality of applications, still can't satisfy higher power demand.
3. the utilance of pump light is lower.Total slope efficiency is 30% in the said system, should improve the slope efficiency of laser as much as possible.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is exactly in order to improve the performance index of fiber laser at random, and can make fiber laser instrumentation at random.Proposed the use fiber laser as pump light source, residual pump light has been returned the scheme that optical fiber amplifies distributed Rayleigh scattering light once more.Can reduce laser threshold so on the one hand, can also improve the power output and the slope efficiency of laser on the other hand, and help manufacturing the instrument of practicability.
Basic thought of the present invention is following:
What the laser medium of accidental laser used is optical fiber, can be optical fiber of monomode fiber, photonic crystal fiber, plastic fiber, doped fiber and other kinds or the like.The inclined-plane is cut at the two ends of optical fiber in the experiment, gets into fiber core to stop the Fresnel reflection that is caused by fiber end face.Pump light is provided by fiber laser, can be photon crystal optical laser device, nonlinear optical fibre laser (Raman fiber lasers and Brillouin optical fiber laser etc.), Rear Earth Doped Fiber Laser and plastic fiber laser etc.Because the refractive index of optical fiber is inhomogeneous, and light when in optical fiber, propagating Rayleigh scattering can take place, the back is very little to rayleigh scattering coefficient, is approximately δ=4.5 * 10 in laser medium -5Km -1, therefore in optical fiber, the back is negligible to rayleigh scattered radiation generally speaking.But if the optical fiber long enough, and rear orientation light will form laser after being exaggerated.For example: if the pump light wavelength is 1455nm; Distributed back is after Rayleigh scattering light amplifies through Raman; About 1550nm, have maximum gain, be approximately 13THz with respect to the stokes frequency displacement of pump light, so the wavelength of the Random Laser of outgoing is approximately about 1550nm; If the pump light wavelength is 1455nm; Distributed back is after Rayleigh scattering light amplifies through Brillouin; About 1455.1nm, having maximum gain, is approximately to be 10GHz with respect to the stokes frequency displacement of pump light, so the wavelength of the Random Laser of outgoing is approximately about 1455.1nm.
Native system uses fiber laser as pump light source, and the chamber of fiber laser can be a linear cavity, also can be annular chamber.Fiber laser is divided into four kinds by gain media: photon crystal optical laser device, nonlinear optical fibre laser (Raman fiber lasers and Brillouin optical fiber laser etc.), Rear Earth Doped Fiber Laser and plastic fiber laser.Fiber laser is because advantage such as beam quality, high power, high efficiency and the volume of its high-quality be little is the more satisfactory pump light source of Random Laser.

The shoot laser conduct of fiber laser is the pump light of fiber laser at random, is coupled into second optical fiber 8 through first optical isolator 11 and the 3rd coupler 5; Second optical fiber 8 is laser mediums of fiber laser at random; Second optical fiber, 8 one ends connect the pump light speculum 14 and second optical isolator 12 respectively through the 4th coupler 6, and the other end connects the 3rd optical isolator 13 through the 3rd coupler 5; In second optical fiber 8, produce back to rayleigh scattered radiation through twice even repeatedly amplify the back and form Random Laser, through the 3rd coupler 5 and 13 outputs of the 3rd optical isolator;
Scheme two comprises first semiconductor laser 1, first coupler 3, second coupler 4, the 3rd coupler 5, the 4th coupler 6, first optical fiber 7, second optical fiber 8, first optical isolator 11, second optical isolator 12, the 3rd optical isolator 13, the 4th optical isolator 15, pump light speculum 14, fiber grating 16;
Wherein:
First semiconductor laser 1 is coupled into first optical fiber 7 as the pump light of fiber laser through first coupler 3; First optical fiber 7 is laser mediums of fiber laser; First optical fiber 7 connects first optical isolator 11; First optical isolator 11 connects an end of second coupler 4, and second coupler 4 also is connected with fiber grating 16, the second couplers 4 and is connected to first coupler, 3 looping cavity optical fibre lasers;
Fiber laser output light is exported the also conduct pump light of fiber laser at random through second coupler 4; Second coupler 4 connects second optical isolator 12; Second optical isolator 12 connects second optical fiber 8 through the 3rd coupler 5; Second optical fiber 8 is laser mediums of fiber laser at random; Second optical fiber, 8 one ends connect pump light speculum 14 respectively through the 4th coupler 6 and the 3rd optical isolator 13, the second optical fiber 8 other ends connect the 4th optical isolator 15 through the 3rd coupler 5; In second optical fiber 8, produce back to rayleigh scattered radiation through twice even repeatedly amplify the back and form Random Laser, through the 3rd coupler 5 and 15 outputs of the 4th optical isolator.
First kind of scheme is based on the fiber ring laser system at random of the fiber laser of linear cavity.
In this scheme, the pumping source of fiber laser is the fiber laser of linear cavity at random.The fiber laser of linear cavity is made up of pumping source, working-laser material (gain media) and laserresonator three parts.Fiber laser is divided into following several kinds by gain media: photon crystal optical laser device, nonlinear optical fibre laser (Raman fiber lasers and Brillouin optical fiber laser etc.), Rear Earth Doped Fiber Laser, plastic fiber laser or the like.
Example one: fiber laser can use rare-earth doped optical fibre as working-laser material, as laser resonant cavity, uses semiconductor laser as pumping source with fiber grating.If rare-earth doped optical fibre is a ytterbium, ytterbium ion has the absorption band (800-1064nm) and the excitation band (970-1200nm) of broad, and the selection of pumping source is more extensive.At 976nm and 915nm very strong absworption peak is arranged according to the ytterbium ion absorption spectrum, so pumping source can use the semiconductor laser of 976nm, the fiber grating at two ends provides feedback for forming laser, forms resonant cavity, and possesses the frequency-selecting effect.If the fiber grating of an end is high anti-to 1060nm light, the other end is to the partial reflection of 1060nm light, and exportable wavelength is the laser of 1060nm after reaching threshold value.The 1060nm laser of ytterbium-doping optical fiber laser output forms Random Laser as the pump light coupled into optical fibres of Random Laser if the Rayleigh rear orientation light amplifies through Raman.Random Laser produces the 13THz frequency displacement with respect to pump light.
Example two: fiber laser is the nonlinear optical fibre laser.The nonlinear optical fibre laser mainly is non-linear stimulated Raman scattering and the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect of utilizing in the optical fiber.Use highly nonlinear optical fiber as gain media, resonant cavity can be grating pair or annular chamber, and its output wavelength depends on the Raman frequency shift and the Brillouin shift of pumping source wavelength and gain media respectively.If Raman fiber lasers, the laser frequency of output then is the result of the laser frequency of pumping source through Raman frequency shift so.If Brillouin laser, the Random Laser frequency of output is the result of pumping source laser frequency through a Brillouin shift so.The back forms the Random Laser of output if Rayleigh scattering is amplified through Raman at last, and the frequency of Random Laser is that the frequency of nonlinear optical fibre laser is through the result behind the Raman frequency shift.
Example three: fiber laser is the photon crystal optical laser device.LD pump photon crystal fiber such as 915nm obtains the output of 980nm continuous laser.This moment, the laser of 980nm amplified through Raman as the pump light coupled into optical fibres of Random Laser, and the frequency displacement that promptly produces 13THz forms Random Laser.Directly compare as pumping source with the semiconductor laser of 980nm, the better quality of photon crystal optical laser device output laser is more stable.
Second kind of scheme is based on the fiber ring laser system at random of circular cavity optic fibre laser.Circular cavity optic fibre laser has low threshold value, does not have advantages such as hole burning effect.Pumping light is through in the wavelength division multiplexer coupled into optical fibres in annular cavity laser, pass through the energy distribution of coupler again after, a lasing part is directly exported, another part is reflected back by fiber grating.Fiber grating plays a part energy back and frequency-selecting as the chamber mirror.The laser that reflects back gets into optical fiber through coupler more again, constitutes closed circuit, forms circular cavity optic fibre laser.Working-laser material in the circular cavity optic fibre laser can be each type optical fiber.The laser of circular cavity optic fibre laser output is as the pump light coupled into optical fibres of Random Laser, if amplify through Raman, the frequency displacement that promptly produces 13THz forms Random Laser.
Example one: the laser frequency of Brillouin's annular optical fiber laser output is the laser result that the process Brillouin shift obtains in annular chamber that pump laser sends.Brillouin's annular optical fiber laser is the high-coherence light source of utmost point narrow linewidth.Brillouin optical fiber laser all adopts annular chamber mostly.The gain media of Brillouin optical fiber laser can be optical fiber of monomode fiber, highly nonlinear optical fiber, photonic crystal fiber, plastic fiber, doped fiber and other kinds or the like.If pump light is coupled in the optic fiber ring-shaped cavity through coupler, stimulated Brillouin scattering can take place in the fiber gain medium of annular chamber, amplify the back through the feedback of annular chamber and form laser output.This laser is as the pump light coupled into optical fibres of fiber laser at random, if after Rayleigh scattering was amplified through Raman, the frequency displacement that promptly produces 13THz formed Random Laser then.
Example two: rear-earth-doped circular cavity optic fibre laser, like the annular chamber erbium doped fiber laser, the pumping light of 980nm is coupled in the Er-doped fiber through a 980/1550nm wavelength division multiplexer.Fiber grating is 1555.10nm, and reflectivity is 99.9%.Last excitation wavelength is 1555.10nm, and this laser is as the pump light coupled into optical fibres of fiber laser at random, if after Rayleigh scattering was amplified through Raman, the frequency displacement that promptly produces 13THz formed Random Laser then.
And in order effectively to utilize pump light, the present invention has also adopted round trip to amplify scheme, also with residual pump light with pump light mirror reflects back into optical fibers, so pump light all forms amplification to the Rayleigh rear orientation light in the communication process of former and later two directions.Twice of pump light and even repeatedly pass through gain fibre makes the Rayleigh rear orientation light through repeatedly amplifying, and improved the slope efficiency of magnification ratio and laser.This fiber ring laser system at random based on fiber laser not only can reduce the threshold value that laser produces, and can also effectively utilize pump light simultaneously, improves the slope efficiency of laser.
