Specific embodiment
The present invention is described in further details below with reference to Figure of description and specific embodiment.
As shown in Figure 1, the large-power optical fiber collimator system with cladding light filtering function of the present invention, including double clad light Fibre output tail optical fiber, glass optical fiber end cap and its fixture, collimation lens and packaging system and Water-cooling circulating component.Before doubly clad optical fiber Grade need not do specially treated, can directly be connected with double-clad output fibre tail optical fiber.Glass optical fiber end cap and its fixture include Glass optical fiber end cap 21 and end cap fixture 23, collimation lens and packaging system include collimation lens 33 and collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31;The tail optical fiber fibre core 11 of double-clad output fibre tail optical fiber is attached with glass optical fiber end cap 21 by welding, doubly clad optical fiber Tail optical fiber 1 and glass optical fiber end cap 21 are exported all with the good glue package of heat conduction in 23 the inside of end cap fixture;23 He of end cap fixture Collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31 in collimation lens and packaging system is attached by screw thread, utilizes the realization pair of collimation lens 33 Cladding light filters out;Water cooling outside the circular channels 45 in Water-cooling circulating component by screw thread and are led with collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31 The good glue of heat is attached, and is cooled down for collimation lens 33.
As shown in Fig. 2, for the present invention in concrete application example the structure diagram of glass optical fiber end cap and its fixture.It is first First, doubly clad optical fiber output tail optical fiber is divested into coat, output end face is cut after cleaning treatment.It will using end cap welding system Glass optical fiber end cap 21 after cleaning is fused on doubly clad optical fiber output tail optical fiber.Finally, by doubly clad optical fiber output tail optical fiber and Glass optical fiber end cap 21 is encapsulated in together in end cap fixture 23.Using the good glue of heat conduction during encapsulation, while must It must ensure that the packaging area coat of tail optical fiber does not destroy.Referring to Fig. 2, there is shown core signal light 14 in doubly clad optical fiber With the propagation path of clad pumping optical 15.When two kinds of light are after doubly clad optical fiber is entered in glass optical fiber end cap 21, due to The original waveguiding structure of the two has all destroyed, and will be dissipated in glass optical fiber end cap 21 by respective numerical aperture.Fibre core is believed The numerical aperture of number light 14 is generally NA=0.06, and corresponding space divergence angle is θ ≈ 0.06;The numerical aperture of clad pumping optical 15 Generally NA=0.46, corresponding space divergence angle are θ ≈ 0.46.Since the two angle of divergence has very big difference, in spatial It is easily separated in the process.
As shown in figure 3, in concrete application example in glass optical fiber end cap 21 light propagation principle schematic.With fibre core Exemplified by flashlight 14, using Gaussian beam model, due to 21 refractive index of glass optical fiber end cap and doubly clad optical fiber inner wrap material Refractive index is consistent, thus with the difference very little of fiber core refractive index material, this allow for flashlight from doubly clad optical fiber export tail optical fiber Tail optical fiber fibre core 11 enter reflection loss very little during glass optical fiber end cap 21(A points in figure).When light enters glass After in end caps 21, since original waveguiding structure has not existed, light will gradually be dissipated along the direction of propagation, such as curve in figure Shown (close to the launching curve of A points), degree of divergence is determined by fibre core numerical aperture.When light propagation to glass optical fiber end cap 21 During exit facet 22, anti-reflection film process can significantly reduce light echo.But since air refraction can be regarded as 1, thus from glass End caps 21 need to consider to reflect into the communication process of air.Refraction effect increases the angle of divergence of emergent light, in figure Shown in curve(Launching curve away from A points), thus from the point of view of space, the focal position of light has changed to B points by A points.Covering pumps Pu light 15 has similar propagation law, but since numerical aperture is larger, light communication theory may be employed in analysis.
As shown in figure 4, for the present invention in concrete application example the structure diagram of collimation lens and packaging system.It is first First, high index of refraction absorbing material is formed in the absorbing material of the inner surface one floor height refractive index of coating of collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31 Layer 32, in order to ensure fully absorbing to clad pumping optical 15, it is also necessary to carry out coarse processing to it.Then, by collimation lens 33 are encapsulated in collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31, and ensure that the focus of collimation lens 33 falls near above-mentioned B points.Finally, will End cap fixture 23 is attached with collimation lens encapsulation fixture 31 by screw thread.Screw thread has enough length and precision, Ke Yishi Existing a certain range of adjusting can realize that the collimation of laser exports by adjusting screw thread.
As shown in figure 5, the structure diagram for present invention Water-cooling circulating component in concrete application example.Water-cooling circulating group Part includes water inlet 43, inner cycle channel 44, outside the circular channels 45 and water outlet 46.Water-cooling circulating system passes through screw thread and collimation What lens packages fixture 31 linked together, and sealed screw thread and tie point 42 using glue, form water circulation channel.It is led The operation principle is wanted to be:The cooling water of low temperature from water inlet 43 enter inner cycle channel 44, collimation lens packages fixture 31 into Row water-cooled process subsequently into outside the circular channels 45, is finally discharged from water outlet 46.
From the foregoing, it will be observed that the present invention is by by 14 He of core signal light in the high power fiber laser output light with cladding light Clad pumping optical 15 realization be spatially separating, using optical fiber collimator realization cladding light is filtered out, while collimation lens 33 into Row water cooling realizes high-power signal light output.
In the present invention, the output of high-power double-cladding optical-fiber laser is changed to welding glass light by original direct output Fine end cap 21 exports.On the one hand, light field dissipates in glass optical fiber end cap 21 after welding glass end caps 21, can effectively increase Big output end face light field area, so as to reduce optical power density;On the other hand, the output end face of glass optical fiber end cap 21 is using increasing Permeable membrane processing, improves output light transmission rate, effectively inhibits light echo.
Traditional cladding light, which filters out, is directly handled doubly clad optical fiber, and this mode that filters out is limited in optical fiber Cladding size, because being filtered out in this way, heat can be accumulated in inner cladding near zone, be difficult to realize at high power Reason ability.And the present invention filters out mode using space cladding light, to the core signal light 14 and clad pumping optical in output optical fibre 15 disregard, and the two is allowed to be exported simultaneously by glass optical fiber end cap 21.Since the two numerical aperture is widely different, from glass Glass end caps 21 can be propagated after exporting in space with the different angles of divergence.When core signal light 14 and clad pumping optical 15 After spatial certain distance, the two can separate in space, can at this time again by selectively filtering out clad pumping optical 15 Equally to achieve the purpose that cladding light filters out.But in comparison, this processing mode is completed in space, from inner cladding Size limits, thus filters out ability with stronger high power.
Further, the present invention carries out water-cooled process to collimation lens in optical fiber collimator 33, is dissipated by collimation lens 33 Heat reduces the distortion of collimation lens 33 under high power conditions, improves the high power ability to bear of optical fiber collimator.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, protection scope of the present invention is not limited merely to above-described embodiment, All technical solutions belonged under thinking of the present invention all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.It should be pointed out that for the art For those of ordinary skill, several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention should be regarded as the protection of the present invention Scope.
