Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种光纤激光器,更特别地说,是指一种极窄线宽的单频工作激光光源的单频可调谐掺铒光纤激光器系统。The present invention relates to a fiber laser, more particularly, refers to a single-frequency tunable erbium-doped fiber laser system with a single-frequency working laser light source with extremely narrow line width.
背景技术Background technique
光纤激光器在光通信、传感、光谱学等领域有着广泛的应用。早在上世纪60年代,E.Snitzer就发现了Nd3+掺杂的玻璃波导中的激光发射现象,而后由于半导体激光器的出现使人们把注意力转移到其上。直到80年代英国Southampton大学解决了Er掺杂有源光纤的热淬灭问题,使得光纤放大器成为可能。光纤放大器的成功和走向成熟,极大地带动了各种各样的光纤激光器的研究。1978年Hill发现了光纤光敏光栅现象,直至上世纪90年代,用紫外线(UV)写入光纤光栅技术的不断成熟,使得光纤光栅成为光纤激光器极佳的选频器。从此光纤激光器摆脱了用体光学元件作为选频器的局面,使得光纤激光器小型化成为可能,并使其可靠性极大地提高。Fiber lasers are widely used in optical communication, sensing, spectroscopy and other fields. As early as the 1960s, E. Snitzer discovered the laser emission phenomenon in Nd 3+ doped glass waveguide, and then people turned their attention to it due to the appearance of semiconductor lasers. Until the 1980s, the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom solved the problem of thermal quenching of Er-doped active optical fibers, making optical fiber amplifiers possible. The success and maturity of fiber amplifiers has greatly promoted the research of various fiber lasers. In 1978, Hill discovered the phenomenon of fiber photosensitive gratings. Until the 1990s, the technology of using ultraviolet (UV) to write fiber gratings continued to mature, making fiber gratings an excellent frequency selector for fiber lasers. Since then, the fiber laser has got rid of the situation of using bulk optical elements as a frequency selector, which makes it possible to miniaturize the fiber laser and greatly improves its reliability.

在本发明中,光路的传输为:第一泵浦光源1输出泵浦光通过第一波分复用器2进入第一掺铒光纤3中,以及第二泵浦光源11输出泵浦光通过第二波分复用器12进入第一掺铒光纤3中;在第一掺铒光纤3吸收泵浦光产生的荧光并沿着逆时针方向和顺时针方向传播;顺时针方向传播的荧光经过偏振控制器4之后进入第一光纤环形器5的A端;逆时针方向传播的荧光经第二波分复用器12之后进入第一光纤环形器5的B端,经B端进入的荧光被损耗在第一光纤环形器5中;由第一光纤环形器5的C端输出的荧光通过第二掺铒光纤6后进入布拉格光栅7中,在光纤布拉格光栅7中的部分光经反射后输出反射光,反射光再通过第二掺铒光纤6进入第一光纤环形器5中;在布拉格光栅7中的部分光经透射后输出透射光给耦合器8,经耦合器8耦合后输出单频可调谐激光束。In the present invention, the transmission of the optical path is: the output pump light of the first pump light source 1 enters the first erbium-doped optical fiber 3 through the first wavelength division multiplexer 2, and the output pump light of the second pump light source 11 passes through The second wavelength division multiplexer 12 enters in the first erbium-doped optical fiber 3; absorbs the fluorescence produced by the pump light at the first erbium-doped optical fiber 3 and propagates along the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction; the fluorescence propagated in the clockwise direction is polarized After the controller 4 enters the A end of the first optical fiber circulator 5; the fluorescence propagating in the counterclockwise direction enters the B end of the first optical fiber circulator 5 after passing through the second wavelength division multiplexer 12, and the fluorescence entering through the B end is lost In the first optical fiber circulator 5; the fluorescence output by the C end of the first optical fiber circulator 5 enters in the Bragg grating 7 after passing through the second erbium-doped optical fiber 6, and the part light in the optical fiber Bragg grating 7 is output after reflection Light, the reflected light enters in the first optical fiber circulator 5 through the second erbium-doped optical fiber 6 again; After the part light in the Bragg grating 7 is transmitted, the output transmission light is given to the coupler 8, and the single-frequency can be output after the coupler 8 is coupled. Tuning the laser beam.
本发明单频光纤激光器的闭环稳频及调谐方案的主要内容如下:The main contents of the closed-loop frequency stabilization and tuning scheme of the single-frequency fiber laser of the present invention are as follows:
1)所设计的光纤激光器采用两个PZT(即第一压电陶瓷16、第二压电陶瓷17)来进行激光模式/波长的稳频和频率调谐;采用PZT作为调谐单频光纤激光器频率的技术。这种方法具有简单可靠的特点,采用合理的结构可以使响应速度达到部分应用领域频率跟踪的要求,又能保证其在所使用的温度、振动环境中保持坚固性。1) The designed fiber laser uses two PZTs (i.e. the first piezoelectric ceramic 16 and the second piezoelectric ceramic 17) to perform frequency stabilization and frequency tuning of the laser mode/wavelength; PZT is used as the frequency tuning of the single-frequency fiber laser technology. This method has the characteristics of simplicity and reliability. With a reasonable structure, the response speed can meet the requirements of frequency tracking in some application fields, and it can also ensure its robustness in the temperature and vibration environment used.
2)抽取5%(分光比5∶95)激光经环行器10后进入布里渊散射腔14中,其反射的Stokes光经光探测器13接收后成为RF信号,与一本征微波信号f0进行混频,其差频信号(f-f0)输出给信号处理电路19的片内A/D上,经片内A/D转换为数字量信号后,所述数字量信号经信号处理电路19的片内程序作负反馈处理后,输出控制量给压电陶瓷驱动电路18,压电陶瓷驱动电路18输出两路驱动信号(第一路驱动信号、第二路驱动信号)用来驱动PZT以控制光纤激光器的谐振腔;2)
3)Stokes反射光的频率信号f随光纤激光器产生的波长信号而变化,因此在激光模式发生跳变时就偏离了与原设定波长相对应的Stokes频率f0,经微波混频后就可以得到一差频分量(f-f0),而Stokes频率f0为所需光纤激光器激射光频率相对应的微波频率,可以由一固定频率的微波信号作为,即本征微波信号f0;3) The frequency signal f of the Stokes reflected light changes with the wavelength signal generated by the fiber laser, so when the laser mode jumps, it deviates from the Stokes frequency f 0 corresponding to the original set wavelength, which can be achieved after microwave mixing Obtain a difference frequency component (ff 0 ), and the Stokes frequency f 0 is the microwave frequency corresponding to the lasing light frequency of the required fiber laser, which can be used as a microwave signal of a fixed frequency, that is, the intrinsic microwave signal f 0 ;
4)经过PZT的反馈控制光纤激光器的腔长,使得光纤模式跳变得到抑制。整个光纤激光器组成了闭环控制系统,可以保障光纤激光器系统长时间(经测试,使用时间可度达10万小时以上)稳定单频工作,改变本征微波信号f0,即可通过闭环结构获得对光纤激光器的频率调谐。4) The cavity length of the fiber laser is controlled by the feedback of the PZT, so that the fiber mode hopping is suppressed. The entire fiber laser constitutes a closed-loop control system, which can ensure the stable single-frequency operation of the fiber laser system for a long time (after testing, the service time can reach more than 100,000 hours). Frequency tuning of fiber lasers.
在本发明中,采用高浓度高掺杂铒镱共掺有源光纤应用于单频可调谐掺铒光纤激光器的系统中,作为增益介质的掺稀土元素光纤是超窄线宽光纤激光器最为核心的部件之一。传统的掺铒石英光纤的单位增益由于受到铒离子的浓度淬灭的限制而较低。掺铒碲酸盐玻璃虽然具有较宽的荧光发射带宽和较高的受激发射截面,但较差的玻璃热稳定性、严重的上转换现象和昂贵的价格限制了其应用。磷酸盐玻璃,特别是氟磷酸盐玻璃,具有较好的化学稳定性和热稳定性、较低的声子能量、较宽的红外透过性能和大的非均匀展宽特性,使其成为很有前景的实现宽带高增益放大掺铒玻璃的理想介质材料。在980nm泵浦光抽运条件下,由于Yb3+离子在波长为980nm的区域具有远大于Er3+离子的吸收截面,通过Yb3+的敏化作用可以大大提高抽运效率。通过研究新型的高浓度铒镱共掺光纤的参数(掺杂浓度、纤芯直径、数值孔径、长度等)、泵浦方式(前向泵浦、后向泵浦、双向泵浦及其复合泵浦)、光纤耦合及其长度、泵浦功率、反射腔反射率、输出耦合比等对超窄线宽光纤激光器的阈值功率、输出功率及激光线宽等性能的影响,寻找合适的上述参数,设计单频可调谐掺铒光纤激光器有源增益区的合理结构。In the present invention, high-concentration and high-doped erbium-ytterbium co-doped active fibers are used in the system of single-frequency tunable erbium-doped fiber lasers, and the rare-earth-doped fiber as the gain medium is the core of ultra-narrow linewidth fiber lasers One of the components. The unity gain of conventional erbium-doped silica fibers is low due to the limitation of concentration quenching of erbium ions. Although erbium-doped tellurite glass has a wide fluorescence emission bandwidth and a high stimulated emission cross section, its poor thermal stability, severe up-conversion phenomenon and high price limit its application. Phosphate glass, especially fluorophosphate glass, has good chemical stability and thermal stability, low phonon energy, wide infrared transmission performance and large non-uniform broadening characteristics, making it a very Promising ideal dielectric material for broadband high-gain amplification Erbium-doped glass. Under the pumping conditions of 980nm pump light, since Yb3+ ions have a much larger absorption cross section than Er3+ ions in the wavelength region of 980nm, the pumping efficiency can be greatly improved through the sensitization of Yb3+. By studying the parameters (doping concentration, core diameter, numerical aperture, length, etc.) and pumping methods (forward pumping, backward pumping, bidirectional pumping and their composite pumping) pump), fiber coupling and its length, pump power, reflectivity of the reflective cavity, output coupling ratio, etc., on the threshold power, output power and laser linewidth of the ultra-narrow linewidth fiber laser, and find the appropriate parameters above. Rational structure for designing the active gain region of single-frequency tunable Erbium-doped fiber lasers.
单频可调谐掺铒光纤激光器还具有光纤输出,使用灵活,可以在恶劣的环境下工作等优异的特点,适用于高端测试、传感器、科学研究等领域。主要军事应用背景有:谐振型光纤陀螺、微光机电(MOEMS)陀螺、高精度分布式光纤水听器、激光指示和军事测距、光纤声音、震动传感系统、相干式成像激光雷达、光频域反射计、卫星间相干激光通信等。The single-frequency tunable erbium-doped fiber laser also has excellent features such as fiber output, flexible use, and can work in harsh environments.
