The present invention realizes that the basic principle of high-power narrow line width long wave optical-fiber laser is as follows:
It, must be simultaneously by means of mixing ytterbium ion gain and Raman gain, i.e., in order to realize that large power long wave optical-fiber laser exports
The hybrid gain of the two.In hybrid gain fiber amplifier, line width holding is particularly important.
For directly amplifying by ytterbium ion gain, if thinking, finally obtaining central wavelength is λnNarrow-linewidth laser it is defeated
Out, only needing central wavelength is λnInjection laser be narrow-linewidth laser and injection laser in amplification process without obvious spectrum exhibition
It is wide.Currently, although the directly modes such as narrow linewidth oscillator, narrow-band filtering super-fluorescence light source, narrowband random optical-fiber laser can produce
Raw narrow linewidth injects laser, and spectrum widening, and spectrum widening multiple and amplifier times magnification can be generated in amplification process
Number is positively correlated.Narrow linewidth injection its time domain specification of laser for having its source in above scheme generation for generating spectrum widening is unstable
Fixed, time domain unstability is presented as the broadening of spectral domain.In turn, the unstability that laser temporal is injected in amplification process makes
Amplification laser spectrum constantly broadens.Since time domain and spectral domain are stringent Fourier transformation relationships, theoretically when single-frequency laser
Domain is overstable, and will not introduce additional noise leads to spectrum widening.
Therefore, it is different from above-mentioned narrow linewidth producing method, if central wavelength is λnInjection laser using single-frequency laser or
Single-frequency laser modulates the more single-frequency generated, narrow-linewidth laser through external phase, then the narrow-linewidth laser generated can keep single-frequency to swash
The time-domain stability of light, without obvious spectrum widening in amplification process.Therefore, high-power narrow line width is generated using hybrid gain
One of the key of long wave optical-fiber laser is that central wavelength is λnInjection laser need to be single-frequency laser or single-frequency laser through outside
More single-frequency of phase-modulation generation, narrow-linewidth laser.
In hybrid gain fiber amplifier, for by the amplification of forward pumping Raman gain, raman amplification gain
Noise in time domain unrestraint effect to pump light, i.e., the noise of pump light can be directly passed to amplification laser.Pumping optical time domain is made an uproar
Sound transmission is to meeting after amplification laser along with the spectrum widening of amplification laser.In hybrid gain fiber amplifier, it is amplified and turns
The central wavelength changed is λi-1The laser of (2≤i≤n) is that lower single order central wavelength is λiThe pump light of the laser of (2≤i≤n),
I.e. in addition to central wavelength is λnFinal amplification laser, remaining wavelength laser amplification conversion process in can play the part of pump light
Role.It therefore, is λ to rely on Raman gain realization central wavelength in hybrid gain fiber amplifiernNarrow linewidth amplification
Laser output, also needing central wavelength is λ1、λ2….λn-1Injection laser temporal it is overstable, this requires central wavelengths to be
λ1、λ2….λn-1Injection laser be single-frequency or more single-frequency lasers.Since raman gain spectrum is wider, for specific central wavelength,
More single-frequency lasers can be generated by external phase modulation, can also be closed beam by more single-frequency lasers and be generated.Further, since Raman gain
Compose wider, central wavelength λ1、λ2….λn-1Injection laser can be not necessarily narrow-linewidth laser.
Compared with prior art, the present invention can generate following technical effect:
1, present invention influence of the comprehensive utilization raman pump light time-frequency characteristic to Raman amplifiction laser spectrum spreading characteristic and
Ytterbium ion gain directly amplifies influence of the lower injection laser time-frequency characteristic to amplification laser spectrum spreading characteristic, real from injection laser

A kind of high-power narrow line width long wave optical-fiber laser generation system.In the system, central wavelength λ1、λ2….λnSingle-frequency or more
Single frequency fiber laser is just converted by just being amplified in hybrid gain fiber amplifier after wavelength-division multiplex system, final to obtain
Central wavelength is λnHigh-power narrow line width long wave optical-fiber laser output;As 2≤i≤n, λiMeet relational expression λi=λi-1+Δ
λ, Δ λ be hybrid gain fiber amplifier in the corresponding Raman stokes light of matrix material of optic fibre wavelength domain frequency shift amount;
The key of the system is:Central wavelength is λnInjection laser need to for single-frequency laser or through external phase modulation generate
More single-frequency, narrow-linewidth laser;Central wavelength is respectively λ1、λ2…λn-1Injection laser need to be that single-frequency laser or more single-frequency swash
Light;It is respectively λ for central wavelength since raman gain spectrum is wider1、λ2…λn-1In specific central wavelength, more single-frequency lasers

2, external modulation signal way of realization multiplicity when generating more single-frequency lasers is modulated in the present invention through external phase, it can be with
