Technical field
The invention belongs to optical fiber fabrication technical field, is related to optical fiber laser doped gain fiber structure design, especially
It is related to one kind and mixes all solid state band gap type microstructured optical fibers of bismuth.
Background technology
Optical fiber laser is a kind of very important laser, and most common is exactly the gain light using rare earth doped element
Fibre makes optical fiber laser.Be usually used in doped gain fiber rare earth element include neodymium (Nd), ytterbium (Yb), praseodymium (Pr), thulium (Tm),
Five kinds of erbium (Er), above-mentioned five kinds of rare earth elements have respective specific luminescence band, but can not produce wavelength at 1460 nanometers
The laser of (1389-1538 nanometers) nearby.The blank of laser can not be produced in order to fill up 1460 nm wave bands, it has been proposed that
The gain fibre of doping major element bismuth and accordingly mix bismuth optical fiber laser.
The uniformity for mixing bismuth concentration in bismuth optical fiber directly determines the performance for mixing bismuth optical fiber laser, but due to bismuth
Boiling point far below prefabricated rods contracting rod temperature and optical fiber draw temperature, therefore, mix and bismuth light mixed in bismuth fiber ring laser system
The concentration of bismuth ion is low in fibre, causes to mix bismuth optical fiber low to the absorption efficiency of pump light.It is defeated in order to obtain the laser of equal-wattage
Go out, the length for mixing bismuth gain fibre is the decades of times of rare earth doped element gain fibre.What Yoonchan Jeong et al. were built
Ytterbium-doping optical fiber laser is in the continuous wave of the neighbouring kilowatt output level of 1.1 microns of wavelength, and used fiber lengths are less than 10 meters, together
Shi Jiguang slopes be more than 80% [Lasers and Electro-Optics.IEEE, 2004:2pp.vol.1], and
The power output of S.V.Firstov et al. structures is that 20W mixes bismuth optical fiber laser, and what is used mixes bismuth optical fiber, bismuth element it is dense
Degree is only 0.02%, and fiber lengths have reached 93 meters, lasing efficiency be 50% [Quantum Electron, 2011,41 (7),
581].Existing to mix bismuth gain fibre, either step change type mixes bismuth optical fiber and still mixes bismuth microstructured optical fibers, in terms of guide-lighting mechanism
Full-internal reflection type is belonged to, the light of each wave band can be transferred through optical fiber basic mode and be conducted, the optical band of conduction is not selected
Property.Because fiber lengths are grown, pump light absorption efficiency is low and the wavelength to conducting light is without selectivity, mixes bismuth optical fiber laser system
In system, pump light can produce red shift Raman diffused light when being transmitted in mixing bismuth optical fiber because of the effect of excited Raman,
The output wavelength that N.K.Thipparapu et al. is built only has for the delivery efficiency for mixing bismuth optical fiber laser of 1360 nms
11% [The Workshop on Specialty Optical Fibers & TheirApplications, 2015].

Λ, the intercolumniation are exactly the spacing in any two adjacent media post center of circle in covering dielectric posts array;The optical fiber is band gap
Type microstructured optical fibers, pump light are located at two different bandgap centers respectively from fluorescence, and Raman diffused light is located at band gap edge.
Further, the refractive index n of the substrate and fibre core1Scope be 1.452~1.455.
Further, the core diameter d1Scope be 13~14 microns.
Further, the covering dielectric posts high index of refraction post refractive index n2Scope be 0.045≤n2-n1≤0.053。

Further, the scope of the intercolumniation Λ is 10.1~10.3 microns.
The present invention has the advantages that compared with prior art:
Consolidate band gap type microstructured optical fibers entirely to mix bismuth the present invention relates to optical fiber, there are two band gap in designed wave band,
The width of band gap and position are adjusted by adjusting optical fiber structure parameter, makes 1340 nanometers of pump light and 1460 nanometers of laser
The center of different band gap is respectively at, ensures that it low-loss transmission and can produce laser.On this basis by pump light
Wavelength where corresponding Raman diffused light is placed on the marginal position of band gap, increase the loss of Raman diffused light, is suppressed with this
The performance of bismuth optical fiber laser is mixed in the Ramam effect of pump light, enhancing.The present invention can effectively filter out the Raman diffused light of pumping,
So as to reach the purpose for suppressing pump light Ramam effect, it can be used for bismuth doped fiber laser.
