Embodiment
Below with reference to Figure of description and specific embodiment, the present invention is described in further details.
As shown in Figure 1, the large-power optical fiber output system with cladding light filtering function of the present invention, comprises the output tail optical fiber of doubly clad optical fiber, optical fiber end cap 21, encapsulation fixture 24 and Water-cooling circulating assembly; Doubly clad optical fiber prime does not need to do special processing, can directly be connected with the output tail optical fiber of doubly clad optical fiber.In the output tail optical fiber of doubly clad optical fiber, fibre core 11 is connected by welding with optical fiber end cap 21, fibre core 11 and optical fiber end cap 21 all by glue package encapsulating in fixture 24, be provided with high refractive index material layer 23 in optical fiber end cap 21, be used for absorbing the cladding light 16 that diffuses in optical fiber end cap 21 and form heat energy; Encapsulation fixture 24 is connected with Water-cooling circulating assembly, carries out cooling operations by Water-cooling circulating assembly to optical fiber end cap 21.
See Fig. 2, be the principle schematic of cladding light filtering of the present invention, give the flashlight of laser 14(fibre core 11 in doubly clad optical fiber) and cladding light 16(clad pumping optical) travel path.Owing to not processing the output tail optical fiber of doubly clad optical fiber, the laser 14 in fibre core 11 and cladding light 16 will together with enter optical fiber end cap 21(fiber glass end cap) in.After two kinds of light enter into optical fiber end cap 21 from doubly clad optical fiber, because the two original waveguiding structure all destroys, disperse in optical fiber end cap 21 by respective numerical aperture.In fibre core 11, the numerical aperture of laser 14 is generally NA=0.06, and corresponding space divergence angle is θ ≈ 0.06, the direct output face 22 from optical fiber end cap 21 is exported.The numerical aperture of cladding light 16 is generally NA=0.46, and corresponding space divergence angle is θ ≈ 0.46, will diffuse to the side surface of optical fiber end cap 21 gradually in communication process, and then propagates in high refractive index material layer 23 and form heat energy.
See Fig. 3, in embody rule example, Water-cooling circulating assembly comprises external jacket 31, water inlet 34, inner cycle channel 37, outer circulation passage 38 and water delivering orifice 35, external jacket 31 is connected with encapsulation fixture 24, it is inner that inner cycle channel 37 is positioned at encapsulation fixture 24, outer circulation passage 38, between encapsulation fixture 24 and external jacket 31, is communicated with by limbers 25 between inner cycle channel 37 and outer circulation passage 38.During work, the chilled water of low temperature enters inner cycle channel 37 from water inlet 34, directly in high refractive index material layer 23 form heat energy and carry out water-cooled process, then enter outer circulation passage 38 by limbers 25, finally discharge from water delivering orifice 35.
