Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber laser, more particularly say, be meant a kind of wide narrow line tunable optical fiber laser that can keep laser output frequency to stablize and avoid effects of spatial.
Background technology
Fiber laser is to grow up on the technical foundation of image intensifer, similar with image intensifer, its gain media is that one section doped fiber and corresponding device are combined into an active resonant cavity, generally is the output that realizes laser under the pumping of semiconductor laser.It has unique advantage as a kind of novel light source: optical fiber output is used flexibly, can under rugged environment, work, compact conformation, the energy density height, anti-electromagnetic interference is strong, pumping threshold is low, the conversion efficiency height, tunable range is wide, need not to add heat radiation or the like, especially can obtain the output of optical fiber communication C-band easily, and with the natural coupling of fibre system.Fiber laser is applicable to fields such as high-end test, sensing.
In some noncontacts, in the big optical path difference coherent optical-fiber sensing measurement, because traditional fiber laser linewidth broad, embodying the light source phase noise that does not come out when short distance detection becomes one of important source of noise, has caused the rapid reduction of interference system signal to noise ratio thus.
Because fiber laser typical cavity length can reach tens meters, so longitudinal mode spacing is very narrow, and whole gain region is very wide, and this has brought very big difficulty to modeling.If only adopt general filter such as fiber grating or F-P interferometer, laser generally will be in irregular many longitudinal modes operating condition.A solution is that the shortening chamber is long, and chamber length can shorten to the submillimeter magnitude, thereby realizes single longitudinal mode output.Though said method can obtain single longitudinal mode output, can reduce laser output power, and its tuning range can not be too wide.
As far back as 1845, faraday (M.Faraday) finds experimentally, when a branch of linearly polarized light during by non-optical activity medium, if in medium along adding an external magnetic field on the optical propagation direction, then light is by behind the medium, the vibration plane of light vibration (referring to electric vector) turns over an angle θ, and the phenomenon that this externally-applied magnetic field makes medium produce optical activity is called Faraday effect or magnetic rotation effect.The simplicity of explanation of Faraday effect is: linearly polarized light always can be decomposed into left-handed and two circularly polarized lights dextrorotation, during no external magnetic field, medium has identical refractive index and propagation velocity to these two kinds of circularly polarized lights, behind the medium by the L distance, every kind of circularly polarized light has been caused identical phase shift, and the vibration plane that therefore sees through after medium superposes does not deflect; When external magnetic field exists, owing to the interaction of magnetic field and material, changed the light characteristic of material, at this moment medium shows different refractive indexes and propagation velocity to dextrorotation and left circularly polarized light.By having caused different phase shift after the same distance, rotation has taken place with respect to the vibration plane of incident light in the vibration plane after the stack in medium for the two.Faraday effect is found back more than 100 year, does not obtain to use, and up to the sixties in 20th century, because the rise of laser and photoelectron technology, Faraday effect just finds a place where one can give full play to one's talent.Optical fiber faraday speculum is based on the optics that Faraday effect is made.Its effect is to change the polarization of incident light attitude, makes the polarization of reflected light attitude compare with the polarization of incident light attitude, has just in time rotated 90 degree, therefore can avoid incident light and catoptrical stack, thereby avoid effects of spatial.
