Description

一种波长可调谐单偏振单频环形腔光纤激光器A wavelength-tunable single-polarization single-frequency ring cavity fiber laser

技术领域technical field

本发明属于光纤激光器技术领域,具体涉及一种波长可调谐单偏振单频环形腔光纤激光器。The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber lasers, in particular to a wavelength-tunable single-polarization single-frequency ring-cavity fiber laser.

背景技术Background technique

光纤激光器具有成品率高、散热性好、与光纤系统耦合效率高等特点,其在光纤通信、光生微波、光纤传感等领域具有广阔的应用价值,如中国专利CN103852092A公开的模式干涉环形腔光纤激光传感器将模式干涉传感和光纤激光谐振结合起来,可用于对位移、温度、应变等各类物理量的传感测量。目前掺铒光纤激光器多运转在多纵模状态,这限制了其在高速光纤通信系统中的应用,为此研究人员提出采用相移光纤光栅、反高斯切趾光纤布拉格光栅、超短腔法、饱和吸收体法、复合腔法等来保证输出激光具有单频特性。但是在目前现有技术中单频光纤激光器多存在两个正交的偏振模式,这限制了其在偏振敏感光纤系统中的应用,为此研究人员提出采用光纤偏振器、保偏光纤光栅、自注入锁定来保证输出激光具有单偏振特性。但是在目前现有技术中,上述光纤激光器存在制作工艺要求较高,结构较为复杂,难以同时实现单频和单偏振特性等缺点。Fiber laser has the characteristics of high yield, good heat dissipation, and high coupling efficiency with optical fiber system. It has broad application value in the fields of optical fiber communication, optical microwave, optical fiber sensing, etc., such as the mode interference ring cavity fiber laser disclosed in Chinese patent CN103852092A The sensor combines mode interference sensing and fiber laser resonance, and can be used for sensing and measuring various physical quantities such as displacement, temperature, and strain. At present, most erbium-doped fiber lasers operate in the multi-longitudinal mode state, which limits their application in high-speed optical fiber communication systems. For this reason, researchers propose to use phase-shifted fiber gratings, anti-Gaussian apodized fiber Bragg gratings, ultra-short cavity methods, Saturable absorber method, composite cavity method, etc. to ensure that the output laser has a single-frequency characteristic. However, there are usually two orthogonal polarization modes in single-frequency fiber lasers in the existing technology, which limits its application in polarization-sensitive fiber systems. For this reason, researchers proposed to use fiber polarizers, polarization-maintaining fiber gratings, and Injection locking is used to ensure that the output laser has a single polarization characteristic. However, in the current prior art, the above-mentioned fiber lasers have disadvantages such as higher manufacturing process requirements, more complex structures, and difficulty in realizing single-frequency and single-polarization characteristics at the same time.

经文献及专利查新检索,迄今尚未见相同结构的波长可调谐单偏振单频环形腔光纤激光器的专利报导。According to literature and patent novelty searches, there is no patent report on a wavelength-tunable single-polarization single-frequency ring-cavity fiber laser with the same structure.

实施例2本发明的工作原理Embodiment 2 Working principle of the present invention

本发明的波长可调谐单偏振单频环形腔光纤激光器采用反向泵浦结构,泵浦源1所发出的980nm泵浦光信号通过波分复用器2泵浦一段掺铒光纤3,光隔离器7用来保证环形谐振腔内激光信号沿顺时针运转,反向自发辐射光放大信号(由掺铒光纤3产生)进入由光纤偏振器4和保偏光纤5组成的双折射光纤滤波器。双折射光纤滤波器有效地选择单一偏振的光信号,其良好的偏振保持特性有益于光纤激光器的单偏振输出,同时其窄带滤波特性有益于抑制光纤激光器的多纵模振荡。双折射光纤滤波器的梳状透射谱波长间隔大于等于带通滤波器6的3dB带宽,带通滤波器6的中心波长依次调谐至双折射光纤滤波器梳状透射谱的透射峰位置,即实现了光纤激光器激射波长的选择。由2×2光耦合器8的3端口单模尾纤、两模渐变折射率光纤9和光纤环行器10的2端口单模尾纤组成空间模式干涉滤波器,光信号经2×2光耦合器8的1端口进入基于两模渐变折射率光纤9的空间模式干涉滤波器,基于两模渐变折射率光纤9的空间模式干涉滤波器中只有LP01和LP11两个模式之间相互干涉。光纤环行器10和偏振控制器11构成光纤反射镜,通过调整偏振控制器11既可调节循环振荡过程中再次进入光纤偏振器4的光信号偏振态,又可改变循环振荡过程中两个模式之间的耦合比例。光纤反射镜反射回来的光信号再次经过基于两模渐变折射率光纤9的空间模式干涉滤波器,这加强了LP01和LP11两个模式之间的干涉,可滤除因多模干涉导致的杂散边模,起到了抑制光纤激光器多纵模振荡的效果。光信号经2×2光耦合器8的3端口反馈到2×2光耦合器8的2端口,2×2光耦合器8的2端口与掺铒光纤3的一端相连组成环形谐振腔,反馈光信号在环形谐振腔内循环振荡,双折射光纤滤波器和空间模式干涉滤波器共同作用下光纤激光器的多纵模振荡被有效抑制,双折射光纤滤波器和偏振控制器共同作用下激光信号的偏振态不断被优化,使得经2×2光耦合器8的4端口输出的激光同时具有单频和单偏振特性。The wavelength-tunable single-polarization single-frequency ring-cavity fiber laser of the present invention adopts a reverse pumping structure, and the 980nm pumping optical signal sent by the pumping source 1 pumps a section of erbium-doped optical fiber 3 through the wavelength division multiplexer 2, and the optical isolation The device 7 is used to ensure that the laser signal in the ring resonator runs clockwise, and the reverse spontaneous emission optical amplification signal (generated by the erbium-doped fiber 3) enters the birefringent fiber filter composed of the fiber polarizer 4 and the polarization-maintaining fiber 5. Birefringent fiber filters effectively select single-polarized optical signals, and their good polarization-maintaining characteristics are beneficial to the single-polarization output of fiber lasers, while their narrow-band filtering characteristics are beneficial to suppressing multi-longitudinal mode oscillations of fiber lasers. The comb-shaped transmission spectrum wavelength interval of the birefringent fiber filter is greater than or equal to the 3dB bandwidth of the band-pass filter 6, and the central wavelength of the band-pass filter 6 is tuned to the transmission peak position of the comb-shaped transmission spectrum of the birefringent fiber filter in turn, that is, realizing The selection of the lasing wavelength of the fiber laser. The spatial mode interference filter is composed of the 3-port single-mode pigtail of the 2×2 optical coupler 8, the two-mode graded-index fiber 9 and the 2-port single-mode pigtail of the optical fiber circulator 10, and the optical signal is coupled by 2×2 Port 1 of the filter 8 enters the spatial mode interference filter based on the two-mode graded-index fiber 9, and in the spatial-mode interference filter based on the two-mode graded-index fiber 9, only two modes, LP 01 and LP 11 , interfere with each other. The optical fiber circulator 10 and the polarization controller 11 constitute a fiber optic reflector. By adjusting the polarization controller 11, the polarization state of the optical signal re-entering the fiber polarizer 4 during the cyclic oscillation process can be adjusted, and the difference between the two modes during the cyclic oscillation process can be changed. Coupling ratio between. The optical signal reflected by the fiber mirror passes through the spatial mode interference filter based on the two-mode graded-index fiber 9 again, which strengthens the interference between the two modes of LP 01 and LP 11 , and can filter out the interference caused by multi-mode interference. The stray side mode has the effect of suppressing the multi-longitudinal mode oscillation of the fiber laser. The optical signal is fed back to port 2 of 2×2 optical coupler 8 through port 3 of 2×2 optical coupler 8, and port 2 of 2×2 optical coupler 8 is connected with one end of erbium-doped optical fiber 3 to form a ring resonant cavity, and the feedback The optical signal oscillates circularly in the ring resonator, and the multi-longitudinal mode oscillation of the fiber laser is effectively suppressed under the joint action of the birefringent fiber filter and the spatial mode interference filter. Under the joint action of the birefringent fiber filter and the polarization controller, the laser signal The polarization state is constantly optimized, so that the laser output through the 4 ports of the 2×2 optical coupler 8 has both single-frequency and single-polarization characteristics.
