Background
The high-power laser has the advantages of good beam quality, high continuous power, good stability, small volume, convenient movement and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of industrial processing and the like.
In a high-power optical fiber laser, a forward and reverse bidirectional pumping mode is usually adopted, and due to the influences of the structure of a resonant cavity, the nonlinear effect in the resonant cavity and the like, reverse signal light is very strong, the power can reach dozens of or even hundreds of watts, and a large amount of reverse signal light can damage an indicating light device and destroy the use of the indicating light. Therefore, the indication light protection device with reasonable design and compact structure is very important for high-power fiber lasers.
At present, devices such as an optical fiber circulator, a dichroic mirror and the like are mainly used for isolating reverse signal light. But the fiber optic circulator does not simultaneously isolate pump light and signal light of different wavelengths. The dichroic mirror leads to a space structure, so that the stability of the system is weaker than that of an all-fiber structure, and the indicating light protection device with the all-fiber structure has a simple structure and high stability, but the conventional difficulty of stripping reverse fiber core light exists, and the reverse fiber core light and cladding light cannot be effectively stripped.
Therefore, the conventional fiber laser indicating light protection device cannot simultaneously strip the reverse fiber core signal light and the cladding signal light, has a complex structure and high cost, and is not suitable for mass production application of high-power fiber lasers.
