Definitions
- This invention relates to a phase-locked, fibre coupled diode- fibre array laser consisting of groups of coherently phase-locked arrays emitting diffraction limited laser beams which are fibre 5 coupled to produce a larger diameter phase-locked laser beam, itself being diffraction limited.
- the invention has applications in the industrial, medical, defence and mass entertainment fields.
- Phase-locked, diode laser arrays are well known in the art.
- each of the laser diodes is necessary to position each of the laser diodes within about ten microns (10-3 cms) of each other within the array so that they can be optically coupie ⁇ to each other, a process referred to as evanescent coupling of the diodes within the array.
- evanescent coupling of the diodes within the array a process referred to as evanescent coupling of the diodes within the array.
- the . size of the coherently phase-locked array is still limited in
- the present invention overcomes the defects of prior art systems by limiting the cross-sectional area of the laser diode array on a given substrate so that each such diode array emits a diffraction limited laser beam which is fibre coupled to produce phase-locked diffraction limited laser beams which in turn combine together to form a phase-locked, diffraction limited laser output beam of the single, fibre end face aperture of said system.
- groups of diode arrays they have to be ⁇ o separated for optimum cooling, but collectively coupled optically for optimum phase-locking, two contradictory requirements which are balanced in this invention.
- a given array has to be of a size that provides good phase-locking resulting in a single iobed output beam and experience indicates
- a 1 ,000 diode array would have a circular cross-sectional area of about 300 microns (3 x 10-2 cms) in diameter.
- Diode lasers provide a most effective method of converting electrical energy into laser beam energy with 25 conversion efficiencies in excess of 30% being achievable in practice.
- Diode lasers are of two basic types, namely, those with
- the output beam is of 5 a small rectangular cross-section whilst in the latter it is of a circular cross-section which makes it easier to match into optical components, for example, optical lenses and optical fibres.
- This invention allows for the coherent phase-locking of diode arrays by connecting each diode to an optical fibre or an optical ⁇ o fibre tape to accommodate the rectangular cross-section output beam more effectively.
- the opposite ends of the said fibres are then placed in a bundle of such fibre ends to form a phase-locked output aperture - partially transmitting mirror combination which can be scaled to the required output power level simply by adding is more fibre ends to said bundle.
- an array of individual laser diodes can be phase-locked together via the interactions occurring at the fibre bundle output mirror end face.
- a series of single laser diodes can be phase-locked into a coherent array which is scaleable to high power levels.
- the heat generating 20 laser diodes can be well cooled in the invention because they are not packed too close together. Also the passive optical fibres introduce relatively little loss in the invention when effectively coupled to the diode lasers, in fact losses as low as a few percent can be achieved. 25 • There are three phase-locking techniques that can be utilised to phase-lock the output beam of the invention. Firstly, the fibre core separation in the output aperture can be comparable to the
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET core diameter so that evanescent coupling, that is direct core to core optical coupling occurs.
- diffractive effects can be used to direct a portion of the output of one core into its neighbours within the array via a partially reflecting output mirror.
- a micro lens array can be used to couple the output of each fibre forming the fibre bundle end face so that a parallel beam can be reflected off a plane, partially transmitting output mirror back into the fibre array with phase-locking occurring between the lens array and the output mirror.
- diode lasers By combining the properties of diode lasers with that of passive optical fibres a very effective diode-fibre hybrid laser is produced which not only allows for the phase-locking of a large number of laser diodes, but does so in a manner which is scaleable to high power levels simply by adding more fibre ends to the output 5 aperture.
- Another object of the invention is to bundle together said diode-
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET optically polished and positioned so as to form a single output aperture which can be phase-locked using a partially transmitting mirror positioned at such a distance from said aperture that a portion of the laser beam emitted from any given fibre core is reflected into neighbouring cores.
- Another object of the invention is to provide partially transmitting output mirror on the rear surface of a substrate whose front surface is attached to a micro lens array, allowing for the phase-locking of the invention to take place within the said substrate.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a diode-fibre hybrid laser system which can be scaled to any practical power 5 output level by simply adding more diode-fibre hybrid oscillators to a bundle of said hybrid oscillators and phase-locking these output beams to provide a single output beam.
- phase-locked output aperture composed of an array of diode fibre hybrid laser oscillators whose individual output powers are relatively low but whose combined, phase-locked array power is relatively high and focussable to a power density that results in efficiency frequency conversion when said output beam is focussed through a non-linear crystal.
- Laser diode arrays are difficult to coherently phase-lock and tend to phase-lock in pockets across the array, in the case of iaser diode beams of rectangular cross-sections, a difficulty exists in matching such laser beams to the cores of single optical fibres.
- the coupling of such laser beams to tapes of opticai fibre cores is a much more efficient process because a line of such fibre cores present a rectangular cross-section.
- iaser diodes can be electronically switched allows for the diode-fibre hybrid laser to significantly enhance the properties of passive optical fibres regarding laser beam generation and laser beam steering. Also by selectively switching the individual diode, it is possible to generate images in the output aperture of said diode-fibre hybrid laser systems. It is clear that by adding passive opticai fibres to diode iasers, it is possible to provide for the coherent phase-locking of group of phase-locked diode arrays which effectively provides for the

Abstract
L'invention se rapporte à un laser hybride à diodes et à fibres, dans lequel des groupes de réseaux de diodes à verrouillage de phase cohérente (2) émettent des faisceaux (4) qui sont focalisés dans des fibres optiques (7). Les extrémités de sortie reflétées des fibres sont réunies en faisceau dans un réseau à verrouillage de phase (11), dont le verrouillage de phase est assuré par couplage optique directe entre les noyaux des fibres optiques. Le verrouillage de phase peut également être obtenu par reflexion dans des noyaux voisins au moyen d'un miroir de sortie à transmission partielle (8) ou par un réseau de micro-lentilles. Est également revendiqué un oscillateur hybride séparé comprenant un laser à diodes et une lentille focalisant la sortie du laser à diodes dans une fibre optique passive, dans l'autre extrémité et constituée par un miroir à transmission partielle. Les oscillateurs séparés du réseau peuvent être soumis à une commutation sélective destinée à produire une image à faisceaux de sortie laser haute définition ou à créer une différence de temps entre l'émission de la lumière à travers l'ouverture de sortie, ce qui entraîne une inclinaison régulée du front d'ondes du faisceau de sortie, permettant ainsi de diriger le faisceau de sortie (12).
