Description

Composite light beam synthesizing method and system
Technical Field

Background
With the continuous development of modern industry, the demand for high-power laser is more urgent, and therefore, it is of great significance to continuously improve the output power of fiber laser. The output power of a single optical fiber is limited by a nonlinear effect and has a certain theoretical limit, so that the large improvement of the output power of the single optical fiber is difficult to realize. At present, an effective way to increase the output power of laser is to superpose the powers of multiple paths of fiber lasers by a beam combining element, so as to obtain a high-power combined beam.
In the light beam combining process, the number of paths of the light beams directly affects the output power of the obtained combined light beam, so that the increase of the number of paths of the light beams is very important for the increase of the output power of the combined light beam. The conventional beam combining method is mainly divided into coherent combining and incoherent combining. The coherent combining method is mainly to coherently combine multiple paths of laser beams with the same wavelength by using the phase characteristics of the laser beams. As one of incoherent combining methods, a spectral combining technique is to spectrally combine a plurality of laser beams having different wavelengths by using the spectral characteristics of the laser beams. If the two methods are combined to carry out the composite beam synthesis, the number of beam synthesis paths can be further expanded, and the output power of the synthesized beam is improved.
Patent application No. WO2008045654A2 discloses a METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID COHERENT AND INCOHERENT DIFFRACTIVE BEAM COMBINING (METHOD AND system FOR mixing COHERENT AND INCOHERENT DIFFRACTIVE BEAMs), the system comprising: n oscillators, each oscillator transmitting a light beam of a different wavelength; one or more beam splitters for splitting each wavelength of light beam into M light beams of the same wavelength; a phase modulator for locking the phases of the M light beams of each different wavelength according to the phase correction signal; the optical diffraction element combines the MxN light beams into N incoherent light beams, namely, M light beams with the same wavelength are coherently combined; phase detection means for detecting the phases of the M light beams including each of the incoherent light beams; a grating for spectrally combining the N incoherent light beams into a single combined light beam. The device adopts the mode of establishing ties between two-stage light beam, carries out coherent synthesis with the light of same wavelength with M restraints earlier, carries out spectrum synthesis with the light of different wavelengths with N restraints again, and this kind of mode needs to adopt a plurality of synthesis components, and the device is comparatively huge, is unfavorable for the miniaturization and the compactification of combined type light beam synthesis scheme.

The composite beam combining system adopts one optical diffraction element 6 to simultaneously realize coherent combination and spectrum combination, and compared with the traditional system which firstly uses one optical diffraction element 6 to carry out coherent combination and then uses the other optical diffraction element 6 to carry out spectrum combination, the composite beam combining system can realize miniaturization and compactness.
As shown in fig. 1, a gain fiber 7 is disposed between the fiber beam splitting module 2 and the phase control module 3, specifically, a gain fiber 7 is disposed in each light path of M coherent light beams split by the fiber beam splitting module 2 (M × N composite light beams respectively correspond to M × N gain fibers 7), and the M × N composite light beams realize power amplification through the gain fiber 7, so as to provide conditions for obtaining high-power composite laser light subsequently.
A polarization-maintaining isolator 8 is arranged between the phase control module 3 and the optical fiber output module 4, one polarization-maintaining isolator 8 is arranged in each optical path (the MXN beam composite lights correspond to the MXN polarization-maintaining isolators 8 respectively), the light beams output by the phase control module 3 enter the polarization-maintaining isolator 8, and the polarization-maintaining isolator 8 is used for transmitting forward-transmitted polarized light and preventing the laser seed source 1 from being damaged due to backward transmission of the polarized light.

The M × N optical fiber output modules 4 respectively arrange the M × N beam composite lights according to a specific sequence and output the M × N beam composite lights as spatial beams from the optical fibers, so as to obtain M × N beam linearly polarized lights in the same polarization direction. The arrangement is one of one-dimensional or two-dimensional (one-dimensional and two-dimensional refer to the arrangement of the light beams, one-dimensional being arranged in a line, two-dimensional being arranged in a two-dimensional array).
The optical path conversion module 5 is a single lens or a combination of multiple lenses.

The optical diffraction element 6 is a multi-order diffraction element, and the number of orders of the optical diffraction element 6 is not less than M. Preferably, the number of orders of the optical diffraction element 6 is equal to M. The diffraction order distribution of the optical diffraction element 6 is one of one-dimensional and two-dimensional. Specifically, the diffraction order distribution of the optical diffraction element 6 corresponds to the arrangement of the optical fiber output modules 4, and when the arrangement of the optical fiber output modules 4 is one-dimensional, the diffraction order distribution of the optical diffraction element 6 is also one-dimensional; when the arrangement of the optical fiber output modules 4 is two-dimensional, the diffraction order distribution of the optical diffraction element 6 is also two-dimensional.

For the sake of clarity, the convergence of light beams of different wavelengths and the convergence of the same beam is split into fig. 3 to 4 below. As shown in fig. 3, N laser beams of different wavelengths are spectrally combined at any order of the optical diffraction element 6, and it can be seen that there is a slight deviation in the incident angle between the N laser beams of different wavelengths. As shown in fig. 4, M laser beams of the same wavelength are incident on different orders of the optical diffraction element 6, and it can be seen that the incident angle deviation between the M coherent light beams divided into each laser beam of different wavelength is large.
The working principle of the composite beam combining system is as follows: laser emitted by each laser seed source 1 in the N laser seed sources 1 is divided into M sub-beams with the same wavelength through the corresponding fiber splitting module 2, the M sub-beams with the same wavelength realize power amplification through the corresponding M gain fibers 7, and the M sub-beams with the same wavelength and the power amplified are respectively regulated and controlled by the corresponding M phase control modules 3 to obtain M coherent light beams (the processes experienced by the N laser seed sources 1 are the same to obtain M × N composite light beams). The M multiplied by N beams of composite light pass through the corresponding M multiplied by N polarization-preserving isolators 8 to transmit the polarized light to the forward direction, and meanwhile, the polarized light is prevented from being transmitted reversely to cause damage to the laser seed source 1. The MXN beam composite lights are output from the polarization-maintaining isolator 8, enter the corresponding MXN optical fiber output modules 4, are arranged by the optical fiber output modules 4 according to a specific sequence, are changed into space beams and are output from optical fibers, and MXN beam linearly polarized lights in the same polarization direction are obtained. The M × N beam of polarized light is adjusted in incident angle by the light path conversion module 5, finally collimated and incident on the optical diffraction element 6 at a specific angle, and synthesized into a laser beam by the optical diffraction element 6 to be output.
