Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is elaborated:
Continuous running high-power multi-wavelength optical fiber light source based on super continuous spectrums, it comprises Raman optical fiber laser, super continuous spectrums chamber, filter, its characteristics are: Raman optical fiber laser comprises phosphorus silicon raman optical fibre 4, fiber grating 3 and 5, and pumping source 1, in the forward and backward two ends difference welding total reflection grating 3 of phosphorus silicon raman optical fibre and the Raman chamber 9 of partial reflection grating 5 formation single-stages, adopt pumping source 1 that it is carried out pumping, constitute single wavelength output Raman optical fiber laser; Nesting type structure is adopted in super continuous chamber, and it comprises general single mode fiber 6, fiber grating 2 and 7, and aforementioned Raman chamber 9; General single mode fiber 6 directly is welded on the output of Raman optical fiber laser, total reflection grating 2 and partial reflection grating 7 constitute the reponse system in super continuous chamber, wherein grating 2 is positioned at the input in Raman chamber, 7 tail ends that are placed in monomode fiber 6 of grating, thereby reach phosphorus silicon optical fiber 4 and monomode fiber 6 jointly as super continuous gain media, increase the purpose of gain fibre length; The reponse system of utilizing fiber grating to constitute, Raman chamber 9 are nested in the super continuous chamber and place; Comb filter 8 is positioned at the output in super continuous spectrums chamber, and the spectrum of broadening is cut apart, and output is a plurality of wavelength of running continuously.
The centre wavelength of total reflection optical fiber grating 2 is 1315nm.
The centre wavelength of total reflection grating 3 and partial reflection grating 5 is 1245nm.
The centre wavelength of partial reflection grating 7 is 1315nm.
Pumping source is that output wavelength is ytterbium-doped double-cladded-layer optical fiber laser or other laser of 1070nm.
The centre wavelength of general single mode fiber 6 is 1315nm, and gain media is that the zero dispersion point is the general single mode fiber of 1310nm.
This most outstanding advantage of multi-wavelength output that constitutes based on super continuous spectrums being carried out spectrum cut apart just has been to utilize the zero dispersion characteristics of monomode fiber at 1.31 mu m wavebands, the transformation efficiency of the various nonlinear effects in the optical fiber is improved greatly, thereby utilize lower cost, simple structure can obtain the ultra broadband spectrum of running continuously, and then obtain the continuous output of a plurality of wavelength.
The Physical Mechanism of this multi wave length illuminating source can be explained by the nonlinear effect in the optical fiber.At first, output wavelength is after laser that the pump light source 1 of 1070nm is sent enters phosphorus silicon optical fiber 4, utilizes that frequency shift amount is 1330cm in 4 -1The Raman scattering effect, and since the feedback effect of total reflection grating 3 and partial reflection grating 5 form high power laser light at 1245nm place and export.Then, the laser of 1245nm is in phosphorus silicon optical fiber 4 and monomode fiber 6, and being subjected to wherein, frequency shift amount is 440cm -1The effect of Raman scattering effect, be converted into the stokes light that wavelength is 1315nm, and under 2 and 7 feedback effect, obtain higher-wattage.
After this, wavelength be the light of 1315mn in phosphorus silicon optical fiber 4 and monomode fiber 6 because fiber nonlinear effect is seted out living broadening.The nonlinear effect of Chan Shenging is a modulational instability at first, according to the non-linear Schrdinger equation in the optical fiber, when the light wave in the optical fiber is positioned at the anomalous dispersion district of optical fiber, can produce new spectral component in its both sides, gain maximum and former transmission light frequency difference are Ω s=[2 γ P pExp (α L)/| β 2|] 1/2For non linear coefficient γ is 0.47W -1Km -1, loss α is 0.36dB/km, abbe number β 2For-0.303pa 2The monomode fiber of/km, power are that 2W, wavelength are that the light wave of 1315nm will produce maximum gain at 1307.4nm and 1322.6nm place, promptly produce broadening in about 15nm scope.
Power four-wave mixing effect then occurs after increasing.To the four-wave mixing effect of degeneracy, frequency is ω pLight wave in optical fiber, can produce and satisfy frequency match (2 ω simultaneously ps+ ω As) and phase matched (κ=(k s+ k As-2k p)+2 γ P p=0) two frequencies are ω sAnd ω AsNew light wave, and make spectrum widening.Because monomode fiber is in the zero dispersion characteristics of 1.31 mu m wavebands, phase-matching condition is easy to satisfy in very big wave-length coverage, and the efficient of spectrum widening is improved greatly.In aforementioned monomode fiber because the power that modulational instability produces is that 2W, centre wavelength are that 1315nm, width are the light wave of 15nm, can be in the scope from 1200nm to 1450nm new light wave, but promptly the spectrum broadening to (Fig. 2) more than the 100nm.Thus, light wave obtains broadening on a large scale.
At last, the light wave behind the broadening evenly is divided into many parts by comb filter 8 on spectrum, forms multi-wavelength output.
