Description
この出願は、2008年12月4日に出願され、「ファイバレーザ及び増幅器に用いる高度に希土類ドープされた光ファイバ」と称する米国予備出願第61/120,022の米国特許法第119条(e)の利益を主張し、参照によりその全体が組み込まれるものとする。
技術分野
この出願は、一般に、光ファイバ及び増幅器装置に関する。特に、この出願は、高度に希土類ドープされた光ファイバを含むレーザ及び増幅器装置に用いる光ファイバに関する。
数十ワットから数百ワットの出力を有するイッテルビウムファイバレーザは、多年にわたり商業ベースで利用されている。最近、単一横モードで動作する数kWのイッテルビウムファイバレーザも、利用できるようになった。3低位エネルギーレベル及び4上位レベルの集合を有するイッテルビウムの単純な2レベルエネルギーシステムによって、レーザ又は増幅器の構成においてポンプから信号への効率的な光エネルギー変換が可能になる。
図1〜7Aは、単独又は他のドーパント、例えばアルミニウム、リン及び/又はフッ素とともに組み合わせて使用される、イッテルビウムを利用するレーザ又は増幅器媒体の関連するエネルギーレベル及び転移を説明する。製造されたファイバで得られた結果は、寿命、ポンプ吸収、寿命及び光黒化の様々な測定を含めて説明する。特に興味のあるのは、アルミニウム、リン、フッ素及びホウ素の性能の効果である。
いくつかの実施形態において、光黒化への効果を特定するため、ファイバは、ホウ素及びアルミニウムの異なる濃度を有するように製造される。これらのファイバの特性は、下記の表4にまとめられている。表4の第1欄は、異なるファイバの識別を提供している。第2欄は、異なるファイバの単一モードカットオフ波長を提供している。第3欄は、異なるファイバのVナンバーを提供している。ホウ素流速及びアルミニウム濃度は、それぞれ第4欄及び第5欄に提供されている。第5欄は、異なるファイバのクラッド径を提供している。第6欄は、異なるファイバについての母材供給速度Vf及び引き出し速度Vdを提供している。第7欄は、ファイバが引き出される温度を提供している。
リンケイ酸利得ファイバは、レーザ増幅器、ファイバレーザ、及びこれらの組み合わせに利用することがある。利得ファイバは、利得スイッチ、Qスイッチ、又はモードロックレーザ構成の何れかの組み合わせを組み込む装置に使用することもある。例えば、高いピークパワーのレーザ装置の一部は、バルク増幅器についてのシードソースの部分として高度に希土類ドープされたリンケイ酸利得ファイバを有する実施形態を含むことがあり、シードソースエネルギーは、少なくとも10μJ、又は少なくとも100μJである。様々な実施形態において、利得ファイバは、約100fs〜約100ps、100fsからナノ秒、10psから数ナノ秒、10psから100nsの範囲、又は他の範囲におけるパルス幅を有する出力パルスを生成するファイバ増幅器装置において利用されることがある。利得ファイバは、多色ファイバレーザ構成であって、単独又はラマンシフタを含む他のタイプの周波数と組み合わせて構成される、例えば周波数逓倍器、3倍器、4倍器、5倍器のような周波数変換器を有する装置において利用することができる。
2008年8月28日に出願され、PCT公開WO2009/042347号として公開された「ガラス大コア光ファイバ」と称するPCT国際出願第PCT/US2008/074668号で説明されているように、幾つかの実施形態におけるLCF及び他のファイバが説明されている。この国際出願は、本明細書の中で具体的に参照される主題及びそれが開示する全ての他の主題について、参照によりその全体が本明細書の中に組み入れられる。LCF屈折率変動の測定が行われ、その結果は、例えばクラッド特徴のサイズ及び/又は間隔、クラッドの熱膨張係数、及び/又はクラッド特徴、その他を含むLCFファイバの様々な特性から屈折率変調が生じることを示した。
下記で更に説明されるように、これらのファイバを備える希土類ドープ光ファイバ及びシステムの他の実施形態が可能である。
