The pumping emission component is composed of a plurality of pumping chips arranged in a line, the light emitting direction of the pumping chips is set to be vertical to the crystal fiber, so that multiple paths of emitted pumping light are uniformly injected into the crystal fiber from the side surface of the crystal fiber along the direction vertical to the optical axis of the fiber, and the gain of the maximum efficiency of the pumping light in the crystal fiber is ensured to be converted into signal light.
Preferably, the crystal fiber 1 adopts the cladding-free small-core-diameter crystal fiber doped with rare earth ions with a specific proportion as a gain medium, the diameter range of the core diameter of the fiber is 8 um-1000 um, the length range of the fiber is 10 mm-100 mm, and sufficient effective gain length can be provided.
Preferably, the wavelength range generated by the pumping chip covers 300 nm-1650 nm, and can be selected according to the absorption spectrum of the crystal optical fiber material.
In some embodiments, the pump emitting assembly may also employ a laser bar or COS module as a light source, depending on the structural design requirements of the laser.
In some embodiments, the number of the pump emission assemblies can be multiple, and the pump emission assemblies are arranged around the crystal fiber in multiple sides, so that the distribution of the injected pump light can be more uniform, and the absorption rate of the pump light in the crystal fiber can be improved.
In some embodiments, according to the optical path design requirement of the laser, the light outgoing direction of the pump emission component may also be set to be at a non-perpendicular angle with the optical axis of the crystal fiber, and the emitted multiple pump lights are uniformly injected into the crystal fiber from the side surface of the crystal fiber along an oblique direction.
In order to recover the pump light which is not fully absorbed by the crystal fiber, a first reflection assembly 3 is correspondingly arranged on the other side of the crystal fiber and at the position of the same optical axis plane with the pump emission assembly 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first reflecting assembly 3 is composed of a plurality of shaping lenses 31, a plurality of total reflecting lenses 32 and at least one recycling light total reflecting mirror 33, the number of which is consistent with that of the pumping chips.
The pumping chip, the shaping lens 31 and the total reflection lens 32 are sequentially arranged on the same optical path, and meanwhile, the total reflection lenses 32 are arranged in a row and are also arranged on the same optical axis, so that the shaped single-path pumping light is emitted along the same reflection optical path to form a recovered pumping light beam.
The recycling light total reflection mirror 33 is disposed on the same reflection light path, and is configured to recycle a recycling pump beam formed by the pump light that is not completely absorbed by the crystal fiber and inject the recycling pump beam into the crystal fiber again, thereby improving the light-to-light conversion efficiency of the pump light.

It can be understood that, when the plurality of total reflection triangular mirrors are arranged in a row and are positioned on the same optical axis parallel to the optical axis of the crystal fiber, the shaped single-path pump light is incident on the oblique angle surface of the triangular mirror, and after reflection, a beam of pump light parallel to the optical axis of the crystal fiber is formed and incident on one reflection surface of the double-sided vertical reflection mirror, and then is incident in parallel into the crystal fiber in the opposite direction through the other vertical reflection surface.

In some embodiments, since the multiple pump lights emitted by the pump emission component are uniformly injected into the crystal fiber from the side surface of the crystal fiber along an inclined angle which is not perpendicular to the optical axis of the fiber, the position and the angle of the recycled light total reflection mirror are adjusted according to the angle of the pump light injected into the optical axis of the crystal fiber and the effective gain length required by the recycled pump light injected into the crystal fiber.
As described above, the direction of the effective gain length of the crystal fiber may be from the end face direction of the crystal fiber, or may be from the side face of the crystal fiber in the same direction as the pump light emission direction. By setting different types or numbers of total reflectors and selecting the positions and angles of the total reflectors, the reflection of the recovered pump light beam to a specific direction can be realized, and the longer the effective gain length of the pump light passing through the optical fiber is, the higher the accumulated gain is, so that the requirement of injecting the pump light beam into the crystal optical fiber from the direction of the effective gain length of the crystal optical fiber is met, and the light-light conversion efficiency is improved.
In order to provide the amplification efficiency of the signal light in the crystal fiber, in the embodiment of the invention, the second reflection assemblies 4 are further arranged at the two ends of the crystal fiber, and the pump light injected into the crystal fiber is converted into the signal light, then divided into two paths to be respectively emitted out from the two ends of the crystal fiber, and then returned into the crystal fiber for full amplification through the reflection of the second reflection assemblies 4.
Specifically, the second reflection assembly 4 includes a concave low reflection mirror 41 and a concave total reflection mirror 42, which are respectively disposed at two ends of the crystal fiber 1 and located on the same optical axis with the crystal fiber 1.
