Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of thermal expanding core path lenticule multimode optical fiber.Be specially adapted to the important component part of gordian technique optical fiber coupling in the LASER Light Source of the pumping source of pumping source, optical fiber laser pump source, fiber amplifier of solid state laser and industrial processes: the thermal expanding core path lenticule multimode optical fiber of be used to be coupled high-power (1～10 watt) wide light-emitting area (emit field size 50～500 μ m * 1 μ m) semiconductor laser, laser array.
Background technology
High brightness, powerful fiber coupled laser diode can be widely used in pumping, the industrial lasers processing and other fields of solid state laser: by coupling efficiently, can provide the shoot laser of low numerical aperture, high-output power; And, by the coupling of optical fiber, can effectively enlarge the occasion of utilizing of semiconductor laser, as direct and fiber laser coupling etc.
Improve the laser power of optical fiber output, just must improve the power of the semiconductor laser that is coupled; At present, have the semiconductor laser of wide emit field, single-shot light zone can outgoing be up to 8 watts laser, and by adopting the method for laser array and heap, can obtain the emergent power of maximum number hectowatt.But the angle of divergence of the semiconductor laser outgoing beam of wide emit field is bigger, and differs also bigger at slow axis and fast axle two directional divergence angles, is respectively about 10 degree * 40 degree, so difficult to be coupled in the less optical fiber of numerical aperture.
At present, the fiber-optic coupling method of high brightness high power semiconductor laser commonly used is to adopt discrete optical device between laser instrument and optical fiber, and to high-power, the outgoing beam of wide emit field semiconductor laser carries out being coupled in the optical fiber after the shaping.This method can more effective coupled laser.But, owing to adopted discrete optical element, the loss of laser in coupling process strengthened, restricted the raising of coupling efficiency.And the use of discrete component also makes the alignment tolerant degree of device reduce, thereby the cost of assembling calibration is improved.In addition, the cost of manufacture of individual optical elements itself has also further improved the cost of integral coupler spare.
Microlens optical fibre technology development in recent years is rapider.By fusion, draw awl and methods such as grinding, can process lenticule at optic fibre end, and then improve the coupling numerical aperture of optical fiber, the high coupling efficiency of laser is reached more than 90%.This method has been abandoned discrete optical device, has reduced the loss of laser.But for general microlens optical fibre, the optical fiber core diameter must be complementary with the lasing fluorescence zone, can't improve coupling brightness.In addition, because lenticular employing has reduced coupling tolerate degree significantly.Make the difficulty of assembling and calibration also bigger, so cost is also than higher.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of thermal expanding core path lenticule multimode optical fiber.
It is at the multimode optical fiber end portion core diameter to be carried out the heat expansion, and the termination of thermal expanding core path part has the tangent cylindric optical fibre microlens of cuneiform optical fiber end face and arc surface and cuneiform optical fiber end face.
The utility model has the advantages that:, can produce the be coupled microlens optical fibre of high power semiconductor lasers of coupling efficiency height (＞90%), high being used to of tolerance by multimode optical fiber being compared expansion of easy core diameter heat and optical fiber lapping PROCESS FOR TREATMENT.By semiconductor laser at different light-emitting zone sizes, select the thermal expanding core path optical fibre microlens of different core diameters, can obtain the optical fiber-coupled laser device of compact conformation, high coupling efficiency, high brightness.In addition, because the processing of this thermal expanding core path lens fiber is simple, and, the cost of whole laser coupled device is reduced because the encapsulation that raising brought of coupling tolerate degree is easy.Can be widely used in fields such as solid state laser pumping, industrial lasers processing, fiber laser.
