Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of fiber lasers, in particular to a method for evaluating the melting point quality of a high-power fiber laser.
Background
The welding quality of the melting point has great influence on the overall performance of the high-power laser, and is a weak link for the stable operation of the laser. The melting point loss with good welding quality is small, and the temperature rise is small in the high-power operation process of the laser, so that the laser is not easy to damage, the melting point with poor welding quality is easy to generate higher temperature rise, and the laser is easy to fuse when in high-power operation. There have been some studies on melting point quality, but these studies have focused mainly on the effect of splice offset on the higher-order modes and beam quality, and a few have focused on the splice loss of the fiber core. This type of core fusion loss measurement is mainly concerned with the loss of signal light, which is mostly entered into the cladding, leaked from the pump dump after being transmitted through the cladding, and not completely converted into a heat source at the melting point, so that the damage to the laser is small. At the melting point, a small part of laser energy is converted into heat load, so that the temperature at the melting point is too high, and the safe operation of the laser is damaged. Therefore, the ratio of converting laser energy into heat load by a melting point is more important from the perspective of safe operation of the laser, however, in practical application, a heat source at the melting point is difficult to accurately measure, which hinders establishment of a melting point temperature model and evaluation of melting point welding quality, and at present, there is no reliable method for quantitatively evaluating the welding quality of the melting point, which results in that the maximum power which can be borne by the melting point of the fiber laser cannot be evaluated, and the laser is easily damaged in a high-power operation process.

As shown in fig. 4, the single mode fiber laser oscillator core temperature measuring platform mainly comprises a fiber laser 1, an OFDR measuring device 2, a wavelength division multiplexer 3 and a wavelength division multiplexer 6. In the fiber laser 1, 4 sets of high-power 976 nm semiconductor Lasers (LDs) were used as the pump sources 11 (4 × 50W). The pump source 11 is connected into the resonant cavity through the pump arm of the (6 + 1) × 1 optical fiber combiner 12. The resonant cavity of the fiber laser system is formed by a group of high reflecting gratings 13 and low reflecting gratings 15, the central wavelength of the two gratings is 1080 nm, the line width of the two gratings is 2.16 nm and 0.97 nm respectively, the reflectivity of the high reflecting gratings 13 is 99.7%, and the reflectivity of the low reflecting gratings 15 is 10.7%. The gain fiber in the resonant cavity is a single-mode ytterbium-doped double-cladding step-index fiber, and the absorption coefficient of the fiber to a 976 nm LD pumping source is 3.9 dB/m. A length of 6.8 meters of gain fiber was therefore taken to ensure adequate absorption of the pump source. The diameter of a fiber core of the gain optical fiber is 10 mu m, the diameter of an inner cladding is 130 mu m, the diameter of a coating layer is 250 mu m, and the size and the type of the coating layer are the same as those of an optical fiber arm of the grating, and a signal arm and an output arm of the beam combiner 12.

The wave band of high power wavelength division multiplexing is 1080 nm/1550 nm, and the probe light that the OFDR sent firstly passes through the 1550 nm port of wavelength division multiplexer 3, and its output arm and wavelength division multiplexer 6's 1550 nm port arm butt fusion enter into fiber laser through the output arm of wavelength division multiplexer 6 at last. The 1080 nm main laser return light is led out to the 1080 nm port by the wavelength division multiplexer 6 and the wavelength division multiplexer 3 respectively, so as to avoid entering the OFDR measuring device 2. Fig. 5 shows the temperature distribution of each part of the fiber laser at an output power of 100W, and it can be seen from the results that the core temperature measurement system can measure and characterize the melting point temperature of the fiber.

According to the melting point evaluation model, the pyrogenicity factor STF of the melting point I of the kilowatt-level optical fiber oscillator is obtained by fitting and is 4.45 multiplied by 10-7The fitting error RMSE was 0.367 ℃. When a certain power of laser passes through the melting point, the laser with the proportion of 0.445 ppm is converted into a heat source of the melting point, and the value can be used for evaluating the welding quality of the melting point.
