Embodiment
In order to more clearly understand technology contents of the present invention, describe in detail especially exemplified by following examples.
Referring to shown in Fig. 1, is the schematic diagram with the high-power fiber amplifier of high rate of heat dissipation of the present invention.
In one embodiment, this high-power fiber amplifier with high rate of heat dissipation comprises the prime light path and rear class light path that are linked in sequence.
Wherein, prime light path comprises seed source 1, first isolator 2, wavelength division multiplexer 3, first Active Optical Fiber 4 and the second isolator 5 that are linked in sequence, the input of the bundling device 6 of the output coupling rear class light path of the second described isolator 5, the first described isolator 2 and the second isolator 5 are single-stage polarization irrelevant isolator.Rear class light path then comprises bundling device 6, second Active Optical Fiber 8, cladding pumping power stripper 9 and the 3rd isolator 10 that are linked in sequence, and described bundling device 6 is multimode pump combiner; The 3rd described isolator 11 is high power single-stage polarization irrelevant isolator.The output of the second isolator 5 of the prime light path described in input coupling of described bundling device 6, the output of this bundling device 6 has low-refraction glue application point 7 with the second described Active Optical Fiber 8 place of coupling.
As shown in Figure 2, this high-power fiber amplifier also comprises fiber reel 11 and heat dissipation metal dish 12, and described fiber reel 11 and heat dissipation metal dish 12 all can adopt aluminium alloy to make.The second described Active Optical Fiber 8 is wound on described fiber reel 11, and the second Active Optical Fiber 8 be wound on fiber reel 11 is not overlapping each other.Described fiber reel 11 fits tightly in described heat dissipation metal dish 12, and described low-refraction glue application point 7 and the one end of the second Active Optical Fiber 8 connected after it are all close on described heat dissipation metal dish 12.
In the application of reality, the high-power fiber amplifier with high rate of heat dissipation of the present invention adopts high-power fiber amplifier (5W) structure of the unidirectional structure for amplifying of typical two-stage, as shown in Figure 1.
Prime light channel structure adopts common forward pumping structure for amplifying, and namely seed signal light is coupled into Active Optical Fiber after isolator, WDM, and after Active Optical Fiber amplifies, power output is at about 100mW, does not need to consider heat dissipation problem.
The 100mW that prime exports is amplified to 5W by rear class light path, need very high pump power, heat radiation is the problem that must solve, therefore whole rear class light path needs to carry out on heat dissipation plate, its amplification principle is similar with prime, just change fibre core pump coupling mode into double clad pump mode, so just, multimode laser diode array can be used as pumping source, pump light will be injected into the inner cladding of Active Optical Fiber in the mode of oblique incidence, and repeatedly pass through fibre core in the mode of broken line, thus cause pump light to be absorbed by the rare earth ion in fibre core, realize high-power Laser output.By prime export light as flashlight, by bundling device, multimode coupling pump light is entered to be mixed with in the Active Optical Fiber of rare earth ion, then through isolator export just can obtain 5W high power laser light export.In this grade of light path, after bundling device and Active Optical Fiber welding, the glue of general employing low-refraction carries out applying and through ultraviolet irradiation solidification, the pump light entering covering through bundling device can be made like this to reveal, all enter Active Optical Fiber and amplify flashlight.But because this application point is in the front end that pump light injects, pumping light power is very high, heat can bulk deposition near low-refraction glue application point, if the heat dissipation problem at this place can not be processed well, be easy to cause that optical fiber is herein on fire to be burnt.
The solution that the present invention adopts is that first, Active Optical Fiber can not be placed directly on heat dissipation plate, need closely around on metal aluminum alloy disk customized, and around process in can not there is the overlap of Active Optical Fiber, otherwise cause the accumulation of heat, thus burn optical fiber.Secondly, be the heat dissipation problem of low-refraction glue application point, low-refraction glue application point and subsequent one section of Active Optical Fiber, owing to bearing very high-power pump light, therefore must be close on heat dissipation plate, can not there is any gap.For rear class light path, find when high-power fiber amplifier, the gap of the 6mm that has an appointment between the optical fiber disc base of conventional design and heat dissipation plate, the Active Optical Fiber of amplifier after working long hours near this gap can be scorched jaundice and even burn.Reason there is certain gap between the Active Optical Fiber of gap location and heat dissipation plate, causes the heat radiation in this place bad.Namely this gap is only have 1mm, also similar phenomenon can occur.In order to address this problem, in the present invention, optical fiber disc structure is transformed, make there is not any gap between its base and heat dissipation plate, adjacent like this low-refraction glue application point one section of Active Optical Fiber below just can be close to heat dissipation plate and optical fiber disk, and its heat is just released by heat dissipation plate.Found by great many of experiments, this improving one's methods solves the heat dissipation problem of low-refraction glue application point and Active Optical Fiber in high power (5W and more than) fiber amplifier rear class light path well, makes more high-power fiber amplifier realize becoming possibility.
Have employed the high-power fiber amplifier with high rate of heat dissipation of this invention, because its rear class light path comprises the bundling device be linked in sequence, second Active Optical Fiber, cladding pumping power stripper and the 3rd isolator, the prime light path described in input coupling of described bundling device, the output of this bundling device has low-refraction glue application point with the second described Active Optical Fiber place of coupling, this high-power fiber amplifier also comprises fiber reel, the second described Active Optical Fiber is wound on described fiber reel, and this high-power fiber amplifier also comprises heat dissipation metal dish, described fiber reel fits tightly in described heat dissipation metal dish, described low-refraction glue application point and subsequent the second Active Optical Fiber are close on described heat dissipation metal dish, thus make low-refraction glue application point and the second Active Optical Fiber can obtain best radiating effect, and then effectively avoid rear class light path low-refraction glue application point and subsequent the too high problem that burning occurs of Active Optical Fiber temperature, and the high-power fiber amplifier structure with high rate of heat dissipation of the present invention is simple, with low cost, the scope of application is also quite extensive.
In this description, the present invention is described with reference to its specific embodiment.But, still can make various amendment and conversion obviously and not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Therefore, specification and accompanying drawing are regarded in an illustrative, rather than a restrictive.
