Description
Technical field
The present invention is the improvement of optical fiber laser structure, belongs to laser technology field.
Background technology
Because the beam splitting of optical fiber coupling adopts the methods of fusions in the prior art, thereby has destroyed the structure of inside of optical fibre, has also influenced laser and has transmitted in optical fiber, more can't determine the splitting ratio of laser beam.And have only an output port at existing fiber laser, use No. one beam splitter from laser, to be coupled out a part of laser; This makes troubles to use, except that using light beam, also will carry out the operating state of accurate Domain Synchronous or monitoring laser with other instruments, so often need multiport output in some applications.And because the problem of existing beam splitting coupling process makes it unresolved for a long time.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the beam splitting coupled problem of optical fiber, design the femto second optical fiber laser of multiport coupling output, can not only improve the transmission quality and the coupling efficiency of laser, and make output laser in application, become more flexible, convenient, and can be by design proportion output.
The objective of the invention is to realize by following scheme.The structure of the femto second optical fiber laser of designed multiport coupling output is, with the semiconductor laser is pumping source, pump light enters laser transmission fiber through fiber coupler, Transmission Fibers enters wavelength division multiplexer pump light is coupled in the circular cavity optic fibre laser, Transmission Fibers is provided with the optical fiber power beam splitter, it can certainty ratio tell beam of laser, is used for the monitoring of pump light; Opposite side at optic fiber ring-shaped cavity is provided with the optical fiber output coupler, can certainty ratio export laser; Have one section Er-doped fiber to dock with laser fiber at optic fiber ring-shaped cavity, the opposite side of Er-doped fiber is provided with the polarization fiber isolator on the annular chamber, is respectively equipped with optical fiber polarization controller in the both sides of isolator; Be provided with multiport output optical fibre power beam splitter at laser output, it can the beam splitting of certainty ratio multiport go out the purpose that some optical fiber are used for various needs.Wherein the structure of optical fiber power beam splitter is, with two output optical fibre terminations respectively side cut and polish, and with two tangent planes by being stitched together, the end face alignment, to dock with the end face that enters optical fiber, form the beam splitter of one-in-and-two-out, if need the coupling output of multiport by the end face after piecing together, only need on output optical fibre, to dock again the beam splitter of some this structures, and the certainty ratio beam splitting of output laser is to account for the ratiometric conversion that enters the fiber alignment area according to each output optical fibre butt joint area to draw.Feature of the present invention also is, all adopts this beam splitting structure of beam splitter in wavelength division multiplexer on designed fiber laser and the optical fiber output coupler.
Owing to the invention solves the beam splitting coupled problem of optical fiber, the transmission quality and the coupling efficiency of laser have not only been improved, thereby the making of the femto second optical fiber laser of multiport coupling output is become a reality, make a fiber laser can obtain the output of multiport laser, the beam splitting coupling ratio of each road laser can come design decision by the needs of practical application, satisfying various use needs, and make that output laser becomes more flexible, convenient in application, function is more; Designed femto second optical fiber laser can be realized multi-path laser output, is used for generation of the locked mode pulsewidth of input light source, laser of laser amplifier and spectrum monitoring, sync level signal or the like.
