Referring to Fig. 3, it is as follows that above-mentioned laser generates corresponding energy level process:
7F6Energy level 22 is to mix Tb3+The ground state level of chalcogenide fiber is7F67F4The starting energy level of 25 transition process of energy level With7F57F6The termination energy level of 27 transition process of energy level has a large amount of particles on the energy level;7F5Energy level 23 is to mix Tb3+Vulcanize object light Fine first excited state energy level is7F47F5The termination energy level of 26 transition process of energy level and7F57F627 transition process of energy level Originate energy level;7F4Energy level 24 is to mix Tb3+The Second Excited State energy level of chalcogenide fiber is7F67F425 transition process of energy level Terminate energy level and7F47F5The starting energy level of 26 transition process of energy level;7F67F425 transition process of energy level, the process absorb 3 μm Wavelength (i.e. second wave length) laser, will7F6Particle on energy level 22 is pumped into7F4On energy level 24;7F47F526 transition of energy level Journey, the process will by way of stimulated radiation7F4Particle on energy level 24 is discharged into7F5On energy level 23, while generation 7.3~ 7.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. the 4th wave band) laser;7F57F627 transition process of energy level, the process will by way of stimulated radiation7F5 Particle on energy level 23 is discharged into7F6On energy level 22, while generating 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. third wave band) laser.More have Body:
3 mum wavelengths (i.e. first wave length) laser passes through7F67F425 transition process of energy level will7F6Particle on energy level 22 is taken out It transports to7F4On energy level 24, when7F424 He of energy level7F5When energy level 23 meets condition of population inversion,7F47F526 transition of energy level Cheng Fasheng generates 7.3~7.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. the 4th wave band) laser and makes7F5Population increases on energy level 23, when7F5Energy level 23 With7F6When energy level 22 meets condition of population inversion,7F57F627 transition process of energy level occurs, and generates 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. third wave band) laser simultaneously causes7F523 particle density of energy level decline, to promote7F4Energy level 24 transits to7F5Energy level 23, institute With in the second rare earth ion doped optical fiber 12 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. third wave band) laser and 7.3~7.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. 4th wave band) laser generation can phase inter-modulation, when the second rare earth ion doped optical fiber 12 generate 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. second band) laser tune that (i.e. third wave band) laser is generated by the first rare earth ion doped optical fiber 5 System to realize the tuning of wavelength and when with recurrent frequency pulse laser,7F5The variation in same period occurs for 23 population density of energy level, So that 7.3~7.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. the 4th wave band) laser is realized the tuning of wavelength and is exported with same recurrent frequency pulse laser, most Afterwards from the second dichroic mirror 14 output 3.5~4.0 mum wavelengths (i.e. first band), 4.3~4.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. second band) and The pulse laser of the tunable same repetition of three band wavelengths of 7.3~7.8 mum wavelengths (i.e. the 4th wave band).
Wherein, additional description is needed, the wavelength that laser actually exports laser is all a range, and non-individual One wavelength, this is because energy level is actually an energy band, so the energy difference (E between upper and lower two energy level2-E1) it is a model Enclose, therefore corresponding wavelength is also range, rather than some absolute value, the meeting of final laser output be which specific wavelength then by Depending on concrete condition.
Tb is mixed in 3 μm of routes (i.e. No. second laser) in this example embodiments3+Chalcogenide fiber swashs at 3 μm The optical maser wavelength generated under the pumping of light is also that a wider range (is in one exemplary embodiment 4.8 μ for center wavelength M), the laser for but since 1.5 μm of routes (i.e. first via laser) are inner producing 4.3~4.8 μm in device plane (assuming that glitter The reality output laser of 4.5 mum wavelengths under the adjusting of grating 8), 4.5 μm of laser input as signal light into 3 μm of routes (i.e. No. two lasers) after to mixing Tb3+Chalcogenide fiber is modulated, and exports the laser of co-wavelength (i.e. 4.5 μm), specific modulated process It is as follows:
3 mum wavelengths (i.e. second wave length) laser by particle by7F6Energy level is pumped into7F4Energy level is simultaneously constantly accumulated in the energy level, The generation when meeting condition of population inversion7F47F5Energy level transition generates the laser that central wavelength is 4.8 μm;But when 4.5 μm Laser is inputted into after 3 μm of routes (i.e. No. second laser), in upper energy level (7F4Energy level) particle 4.5 μm of laser effect Lower generation stimulated radiation, and light amplification is carried out to 4.5 μm of laser, so that 4.5 μm of laser is being fought for high level with other wavelength lasers It is dominant during particle, and inhibit the generation of other wavelength lasers, final 4.5 μm of laser becomes after intracavitary continuous circulation The central wavelength of optical fiber output laser.
So the optical maser wavelength of 3 μm of routes (i.e. No. second laser) output is by 1.5 μm of route (i.e. first via laser Device) output optical maser wavelength determine, when 1.5 μm of routes (i.e. first via laser) export 4.3~4.8 μm of laser when, 3 μm of lines Road (i.e. No. second laser) also exports the laser of same wavelength.
Moreover, it is achieved that there are three types of the mode of optical fiber laser pulse output is general: mode locking adjusts Q, gain modulation, above-mentioned to show The method that 3um route (i.e. No. second laser) realizes pulse output in example property embodiment is exactly gain modulation, due to7F5Energy level 23 are7F47F526 transition process of energy level and7F57F6The shared energy level of 27 transition process of energy level, so working as7F5On energy level 23 When population generating period changes,7F47F526 transition process of energy level and7F57F627 transition process of energy level also can be with same Period be changed, thus make generate 4.3~4.8um wavelength (i.e. third wave band) laser and 7.3~7.8um wavelength (i.e. 4th wave band) laser progress cyclically-varying, finally export pulse laser.(launches laser and need two energy level populations up and down It inverts, i.e., there are many upper energy level population, and lower energy level is seldom, and then particle forms laser from upper energy level transition to lower energy level. The mechanical periodicity of intermediate level population necessarily leads to both synperiodic variations of transition process population inversion situation, so Two kinds of transition process be it is interrelated, can phase inter-modulation, then corresponding to two kinds of energy level transitions two output laser then It can be the pulse with same repetition rate.)
And make7F5The method of population generating period variation on energy level 23 is exactly to input 4.3~4.8um wave to optical fiber Long (third wave band) or 7.3~7.8um wavelength (the 4th wave band) pulse laser carrys out the output of modulation optical fiber laser, specific to modulate Principle: after 4.5um pulse laser is inputted as signal light into 3um route (i.e. No. second laser), in upper energy level (7F4Energy The stimulated radiation of particle generating period under the action of 4.5um pulse laser (signal light) of grade 24), and to 4.5um laser Periodical light amplification is carried out, it is dominant during fighting for high level particle with other wavelength lasers to make 4.5um laser, and press down The generation of other wavelength lasers is made, final 4.5um laser becomes the central wavelength of optical fiber output laser after intracavitary continuous circulation And export and signal light with repetition pulse laser.
Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarifying the description, and does not limit the embodiments, right For those of ordinary skill in the art, can also make on the basis of the above description other it is various forms of variation or It changes.There is no necessity and possibility to exhaust all the enbodiments.And thus amplify out it is obvious variation or It changes still within the protection scope of the invention.
