Abstract

Disclosed is an all-fiber high-energy pulse regenerative amplification apparatus based on a 2×3 optical switch. The apparatus comprises a 2×3 optical switch, an all-fiber regenerative amplification resonant cavity composed of the 2×3 optical switch, an ultrashort pulse laser seed source, a pulse broadening apparatus, a pulse compression apparatus and a detection and feedback control apparatus.

Description

一种基于2×3光开关的全光纤高能量脉冲再生放大装置及方法An all-fiber high-energy pulse regenerative amplifying device and method based on 2×3 optical switch 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及光纤激光放大技术领域,具体涉及一种用大模场光纤实现的2×3光开关,以及利用其实现的全光纤高能量脉冲再生放大装置及方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of fiber laser amplification, in particular to a 2×3 optical switch realized by a large-mode field fiber, and an all-fiber high-energy pulse regenerative amplification device and method realized by using the same.
背景技术Background technique
超短激光脉冲具有极窄的时间尺度、超宽的光谱宽度和超高的峰值功率,特别是对于高能量飞秒激光脉冲,在高精密激光加工、生物医疗、高精度测量、超快诊断等领域得到广泛应用。但是通常情况下,飞秒激光振荡器的输出功率和脉冲能量有限,需要使用放大装置提高脉冲能量。飞秒激光的放大受限于光的非线性效应,依赖于啁啾脉冲放大技术,其首先使用色散元件将光脉冲在时域上展宽,然后利用增益介质将脉冲能量放大,最后利用符号相反的色散将脉冲压缩至飞秒量级。通常是利用块状晶体实现脉冲激光的放大,其具有较大的模场面积能够实现更高能量的激光脉冲,但其单次增益的效率比较低,使用多级放大又会极大地增加系统的复杂性和成本。为了获得足够高的增益,研究人员提出了再生放大的技术方案,既把需要放大的脉冲输入到一个有增益介质的低损耗谐振腔内,脉冲会在谐振腔内多次通过增益介质,被放大若干次,然后将放大后的高能量脉冲输出。这种方式既可以利用相对简单的结构实现高能量脉冲,又能够起到降频的作用。但是对于固体激光放大来说,严格的谐振腔设计要求、空间光路的不稳定以及增益转换效率的限制,使得目前的再生放大器很难在实验室以外的环境中稳定工作。全光纤结构的再生放大器将是解决以上问题的一个途径。Ultra-short laser pulses have extremely narrow time scales, ultra-wide spectral widths and ultra-high peak powers, especially for high-energy femtosecond laser pulses, in high-precision laser processing, biomedicine, high-precision measurement, ultra-fast diagnosis, etc. The field is widely used. However, under normal circumstances, the output power and pulse energy of the femtosecond laser oscillator are limited, and it is necessary to use an amplifier to increase the pulse energy. The amplification of the femtosecond laser is limited by the nonlinear effect of light and relies on the chirped pulse amplification technology. It first uses a dispersive element to expand the light pulse in the time domain, then uses the gain medium to amplify the pulse energy, and finally uses the opposite sign Dispersion compresses the pulse to the femtosecond level. Usually, bulk crystals are used to achieve pulsed laser amplification, which has a larger mode field area to achieve higher energy laser pulses, but its single gain efficiency is relatively low, and the use of multi-stage amplification will greatly increase the system’s Complexity and cost. In order to obtain a sufficiently high gain, the researchers proposed a technical solution for regenerative amplification. The pulse to be amplified is input into a low-loss resonant cavity with a gain medium, and the pulse will pass through the gain medium multiple times in the resonant cavity and be amplified. Several times, then output the amplified high-energy pulse. This method can not only use a relatively simple structure to achieve high-energy pulses, but also can reduce the frequency. However, for solid-state laser amplification, strict resonant cavity design requirements, instability of the spatial optical path, and limitations of gain conversion efficiency make it difficult for current regenerative amplifiers to work stably in environments outside the laboratory. The all-fiber structure regenerative amplifier will be a way to solve the above problems.
事实上,在全光纤结构再生放大器的研究方面开展的工作非常少,主要是因为光纤中的模场面积小,非线性效应的作用很强,高能量脉冲在光纤内长距离的传输将导致比较明显的非线性相移。事实上,随着大模场光纤设计和制造技术的发展,已经为全光纤再生放大器的研究和应用提供了进一步发展的契机。到目前为止,报道中的光纤再生放大器通常仅使用增益光纤替代激光晶体,仍包含大量的空间光结构。为数不多的全光纤再生放大器研究主要集中在原理和稳定性的研究上,使用的光纤也为普通的单模光纤,在脉冲的输入输出、降频、再生谐振腔的同步等方面存在诸多问题,还没有方案可以实现高能量的超快激光输出。全光纤再生放大器的另一个技术限制在于使用的输入和输出元器件,通常使用的电光或声光2×2光开关不仅插入损耗比较大,而且很难直接获得大信噪比的降频。In fact, very little work has been carried out on the research of all-fiber structure regenerative amplifiers, mainly because the mode field area in the fiber is small, and the nonlinear effect is very strong. The long-distance transmission of high-energy pulses in the fiber will lead to comparison. Obvious non-linear phase shift. In fact, with the development of large-mode field fiber design and manufacturing technology, it has provided an opportunity for further development of the research and application of all-fiber regenerative amplifiers. So far, the reported fiber regenerative amplifiers usually only use gain fibers instead of laser crystals, and still contain a large number of spatial light structures. The few researches on all-fiber regenerative amplifiers mainly focus on the principle and stability. The fiber used is also ordinary single-mode fiber. There are many problems in the pulse input and output, frequency reduction, and synchronization of the regenerative cavity. , There is no solution to achieve high-energy ultra-fast laser output. Another technical limitation of the all-fiber regenerative amplifier lies in the input and output components used. The commonly used electro-optic or acousto-optic 2×2 optical switches not only have a relatively large insertion loss, but it is also difficult to directly obtain a large signal-to-noise ratio frequency reduction.
