Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of laser and laser detection, and particularly relates to an all-fiber high-power double-optical comb spectrometer system which is simple in structure, stable, reliable, easy to operate and use.
Background
The double-optical comb spectrometer is a spectral resolution technology capable of realizing real-time, fast and high-precision detection. Based on two optical frequency combs with a small frequency difference, in the detection process, one signal optical comb passes through the sample cell and retains the absorption and phase influence information of the sample on the signal optical comb, and the other optical comb signal is used as interference light. The interference of the laser output by the two optical combs can be utilized to recover the related information of the sample. The double-optical comb spectrum technology has been applied to the fields such as aeroengine combustion field monitoring (201910988351.0), underwater interferometric ranging (201810601290.3), three-dimensional topography measurement (201810726961.9), pathological section nondestructive monitoring (201710772396.5) and the like.
However, the conventional dual optical comb system relies on two independent optical frequency combs, whose frequency and phase jitters are independent, and greatly reduce the coherence of the two combs. In order to improve the stability and accuracy of the dual optical comb system, two optical combs must be locked precisely and have a certain frequency difference, so that each optical comb needs a complex signal processing and circuit servo system. Therefore, the double optical comb system is limited in a laboratory, and only professionals can operate the double optical comb system, so that the popularization and the application of the double optical comb system are greatly limited.
In recent years, the advent of dual wavelength mode-locked pulsed lasers has attracted considerable attention from researchers. The dual-wavelength mode-locked laser can realize the simultaneous generation of mode-locked pulses with different wavelengths, and because the mode-locked pulses with two wavelengths originate from the same resonant cavity, the mode-locked pulses and the resonant cavity have natural coherence; furthermore, since pulses of different wavelengths operate in the cavity, the difference in refractive index causes a slight difference in repetition rate between the two. The system can be greatly simplified by taking the optical fiber as a seed source of the double-optical comb. However, the related research reports mainly focus on the operating band (1550nm) of erbium-doped fiber lasers, and non-polarization-maintaining devices implemented based on single-mode fibers. The high power expansibility, long-term stability and reliability of the laser are still to be further improved.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a double-optical comb spectrometer system capable of realizing high power output. One of the purposes is to realize a femtosecond optical fiber double-optical comb spectrometer capable of outputting high average power and high peak power; another objective is to provide a dual wavelength mode-locked laser with a full polarization-maintaining, all-fiber structure and dissipative soliton output, one of its main applications is as a seed source of a dual optical comb spectrometer.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that
The utility model provides a high power dual optical comb spectrum appearance system, the system includes dual wavelength mode locking pulse seed source 1, signal light wavelength division multiplexer 2, first fiber amplifier 3, second fiber amplifier 4, first compressor 5 and second compressor 6. The dual-wavelength mode-locking pulse seed source 1, the wavelength division multiplexer 2, the first optical fiber amplifier 3 and the second optical fiber amplifier 4 are built for a full polarization-maintaining optical fiber link, and therefore stability and reliability of a system and disturbance of an immune external environment are guaranteed. The first compressor 5 and the second compressor 6 are typical pulse compression devices built with a space grating pair, a prism pair or a prism pair.
The dual-wavelength mode-locking pulse seed source 1 comprises a semiconductor pumping diode LD, a pumping wavelength division multiplexer, a gain optical fiber, a phase shifter, an output coupler, a central beam splitter, an angle welding point and an optical fiber reflector with a tail fiber. And all the optical fiber devices are sequentially welded end to form a resonant cavity link.
The signal optical wavelength division multiplexer 2 is a polarization-maintaining optical fiber beam splitter and is used for splitting the dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse output by the seed source according to the central wavelength, so that the mode-locked pulses with two wavelengths are spatially split and are respectively used as signal light and interference light of the double optical comb system;
the optical fiber amplifier comprises an optical isolator, a wavelength division multiplexer and a gain optical fiber; the optical fiber amplifier is of a single-stage or multi-stage cascade amplifier structure, and is determined according to target output power, and the gain optical fiber is a waveguide medium with a fiber core doped with rare earth ions, such as ytterbium, erbium, thulium, neodymium and the like.
Firstly, the realization principle of the seed source of the high-power double-optical-comb spectrometer, namely the dual-wavelength optical fiber mode-locked pulse oscillator, is mainly explained as follows:
in the dual-wavelength mode-locked laser, the filter effect of multiple channels in a resonant cavity is a key element for realizing the dual-wavelength mode-locked laser. The double refraction effect in the single mode fiber just provides an easily realized multi-channel filtering effect, and the dual-wavelength mode-locked laser of the optical fiber structure is common by combining a passive mode-locking mechanism. However, a dual-wavelength mode-locked laser with a fully polarization-maintaining fiber structure is preferred for stability and reliability. The invention combines the polarization maintaining optical fiber and the Lyot filter to realize the multi-channel filtering effect in the dual-wavelength mode-locked laser, thereby realizing the dual-wavelength mode-locked laser with the full polarization maintaining optical fiber structure. The multi-channel filtering effect is as follows (taking 1030nm wave band of ytterbium doped fiber as an example): spontaneous Emission (ASE) laser in the laser cavity has an obvious periodic multi-peak structure, and forms a typical multi-channel filtering effect. At a sufficiently strong pump light power, spectral peaks at different positions within the cavity are excited simultaneously. Under the balance of gain and competition, the mode-locked pulse of the later dual-wavelength output can be obtained.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the femtosecond optical fiber double-optical comb spectrometer system with high average power and high peak power is realized;
2. the double-optical comb seed source, namely the double-wavelength mode-locked pulse oscillator, which has a simple structure, is stable and reliable for a long time, is interfered by immune environment and can be copied is realized;
3. the system can realize a full polarization-maintaining all-fiber structure, has good environmental stability and can meet the requirement of environmental operation outside a laboratory.
