Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polarization maintaining fiber laser equipment, and particularly relates to a laser system and equipment for inhibiting spectral modulation based on polarization mode dispersion compensation.
Background
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.
Ultrashort pulse lasers are commonly referred to as pulsesWidth in picosecond (10) -12 s) and femtoseconds (10) -15 s) magnitude pulse light source, which has the characteristics of extremely narrow pulse width, extremely wide spectrum, extremely high peak power and the like. At present, the ultra-short pulse laser is widely applied in the fields of material hyperfine, basic scientific research, medical cosmetology, aerospace, photovoltaic energy sources and the like.
Pulse quality is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of ultra-short pulse laser systems. In general, pulse contrast is an important indicator of pulse quality in the time domain and spectral smoothness in the frequency domain. Polarization maintaining fiber is used as one important laser gain medium widely in ultra short pulse laser system. However, ultra-short pulse laser systems based on polarization maintaining fibers (including "full polarization maintaining fiber" and "polarization maintaining fiber+laser crystal" hybrid systems) generally suffer from spectral modulation problems.
The ultra-short pulse laser system adopting the polarization maintaining optical fiber as the pre-amplification stage or the main amplification stage has the spectrum modulation phenomena with different degrees. Currently, researchers have mainly attributed this phenomenon to factors such as self-phase modulation effects in the fiber or surface interference of the fiber device. However, there are two distinct disadvantages to this interpretation: first, from the shape and period of the spectral modulation, it is clearly distinguished from the spectral features formed from the phase modulation; second, all-solid-state amplifiers based on laser crystals contain a large number of spatial optics, and in theory the surface interference phenomenon of the elements should be more severe, but no similarly dense spectral modulation phenomenon is known to occur in all-solid-state ultrashort pulse lasers.
The inventor finds that aiming at the spectrum modulation phenomenon in the polarization-maintaining optical fiber ultrashort pulse laser system, the person skilled in the art only gives partial explanation of the reasons at present, but does not propose a reasonable and effective technical solution. Particularly, for different polarization maintaining fiber types, multi-stage polarization maintaining fiber amplifiers and hybrid polarization maintaining fiber laser systems, complicated spectrum modulation technology and equipment are required for realizing the suppression of spectrum modulation, so that great difficulty is brought to the suppression of spectrum modulation, and the cost and the complexity of the system are obviously improved.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

A laser system for inhibiting spectral modulation based on polarization mode dispersion compensation comprises a mode-locked fiber oscillator, a fiber isolator, a semiconductor pump laser, a fiber wavelength division multiplexer, a fiber fusion point, a polarization maintaining fiber, a fiber combiner and a fiber collimator; the number of the optical fiber fusion points is 2 n; the (2 n-1) th optical fiber welding point adopts 0 degree welding; the 2 n-th optical fiber welding points are subjected to 90-degree cross welding; wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; the polarization mode dispersion introduced by any (2 n-1) section optical fiber and the 2n section optical fiber is equal in size and opposite in sign.
Wherein polarization mode dispersion is the difference in time delay of two orthogonal polarization modes of the fundamental mode.
Polarization mode dispersion coefficient is the propagation delay difference of two orthogonal polarization modes on a unit length of optical fiber.
That is, the polarization mode dispersion is the product of the polarization mode dispersion coefficient and the length of the fiber.
In particular, the polarization mode dispersion coefficient beta and the optical fiber length L of the polarization maintaining optical fiber have the following characteristic relation:

As one implementation mode, the optical fiber isolator adjacent to the mode-locked optical fiber oscillator allows the signal light to pass forward and isolates the reverse transmission laser, so that the purpose of protecting the mode-locked optical fiber oscillator is achieved.

wherein, the parameter A represents the modulation depth and is mainly related to the power magnitudes of the main pulse and the secondary pulse; parameter B represents the modulation frequency, related to the time delay between the main pulse and the secondary pulse; parameters (parameters)Representing the phase difference between the primary and secondary pulses; ω represents angular frequency.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to the drawings and examples.
It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
It is noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular is also intended to include the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and furthermore, it is to be understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising" when used in this specification are taken to specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof.
From the structural feature analysis of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber, first, the polarization extinction ratio of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber is limited, and signal light can generate certain depolarization when transmitted in the polarization-maintaining optical fiber, so that cross polarized sub-pulses are generated. Second, polarization maintaining fibers have a greater polarization mode dispersion coefficient than non-polarization maintaining fibers (typically, the non-polarization maintaining fibers have a mode birefringence of 10 -7 Magnitude, the polarization-maintaining fiber has a mode birefringence of 10 -4 Magnitude). Polarization mode dispersion causes the separation of the main pulse and the sub-pulse in the time domain, and the separated main pulse and sub-pulse interfere and are reflected to the frequency domain to represent obvious spectrum modulation phenomenon. In addition, the spectral modulation depth and period will vary with the optical power of the signal and the length of the fiber. Thus, polarization mode dispersion largely dominates the spectral modulation phenomenon in polarization maintaining fiber laser systems.
Compared with an all-solid-state ultrashort pulse laser system, the polarization-maintaining fiber laser amplifier has the advantages of compact structure, high integration level, good stability and the like, and still plays an irreplaceable role in the application in a plurality of fields, although the polarization-maintaining fiber laser amplifier has the defect of spectrum modulation. Therefore, the method solves the problem of spectrum modulation in the polarization maintaining fiber laser system, and has important scientific significance and practical value in the aspects of improving pulse contrast, material processing quality and the like.
The invention relates to a laser system for inhibiting spectral modulation based on polarization mode dispersion compensation, which comprises a mode-locked optical fiber oscillator, an optical fiber isolator, a semiconductor pump laser, an optical fiber wavelength division multiplexer, an optical fiber fusion point, a polarization maintaining optical fiber, an optical fiber beam combiner and an optical fiber collimator; the number of the optical fiber fusion points is 2 n; the (2 n-1) th optical fiber welding point adopts 0 degree welding; the 2 n-th optical fiber welding points are subjected to 90-degree cross welding; wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; the polarization mode dispersion introduced by any (2 n-1) section optical fiber and the 2n section optical fiber is equal in size and opposite in sign.
The laser system of the invention is realized based on a polarization mode dispersion compensation suppression spectrum modulation technology, and the working principle of the spectrum modulation suppression technology is shown in figure 1.
Polarization maintaining fibers typically have two stress regions to maintain the polarization characteristics of the laser pulses. Wherein, the direction parallel to the stress region is defined as the slow axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the stress region is defined as the fast axis direction. For normal optical fiber fusion splicing, the fast axis and slow axis of two optical fibers to be spliced are respectively corresponding, i.e., referred to as 0 degree fusion splicing, as shown in fig. 1 (a). By 90 degree cross fusion, it is meant that the fibers to be fused are cross-rotated 90 degrees, i.e., the slow axis of one polarization maintaining fiber and the fast axis of the other polarization maintaining fiber are fusion-spliced together, as shown in fig. 1 (b).
When a laser pulse enters the polarization maintaining fiber and propagates along the slow axis, the depolarization effect causes it to generate a sub-pulse in the fast axis direction. As the propagation distance of the laser pulse in the fiber increases, the polarization mode dispersion further causes a certain time delay between the main pulse on the slow axis and the sub-pulse on the fast axis. If a polarization maintaining fiber with the same length is welded at 0 degree later, the time delay of the primary and secondary pulses is further increased, as shown in fig. 1 (a). In contrast, if a polarization maintaining fiber with the same length is welded at 90 degrees after the polarization maintaining fibers, the polarization mode dispersion of the two polarization maintaining fibers is correspondingly compensated, and the time delay of the primary pulse and the secondary pulse is gradually reduced and eliminated. Reflected in the frequency domain, the intensity and period of the spectral modulation is also continuously decreasing.
The polarization maintaining optical fiber comprises a passive polarization maintaining optical fiber and an active polarization maintaining optical fiber doped with rare earth ions;
the "core/cladding" diameter size of the polarization maintaining fiber includes, but is not limited to, 4/125 μm,6/125 μm,10/125 μm,25/250 μm,20/400 μm, etc.;
the rare earth ions include, but are not limited to, erbium (Er), ytterbium (Yb), thulium (Tm), holmium (Ho), and the like;
the lengths of the two polarization maintaining optical fibers in 90-degree cross welding are reasonably selected according to the polarization mode dispersion coefficient of the corresponding optical fibers.
The inhibition process of polarization mode dispersion compensation on spectral modulation is theoretically analyzed and verified as follows:
for interference of two pulses, the intensity I of the spectral modulation M (ω) can be expressed as:
wherein, the parameter A represents the modulation depth and is mainly related to the power magnitudes of the main pulse and the secondary pulse; parameter B represents the modulation frequency, mainly related to the time delay between the main pulse and the secondary pulse; parameters (parameters)Representing the phase difference of the primary and secondary pulses; ω represents angular frequency.
In this calculation, a gaussian spectrum was selected as the initial pulse spectrum, the center wavelength of the corresponding spectrum was 1030nm, and the full width at half maximum of the spectrum was 20nm, as shown in fig. 2 (a). The time domain pulse corresponding to the fourier transform is shown in fig. 2 (b). Parameter a is set to 0.1. The parameter B is set to 5, 15, 25, respectively, corresponding to the delays between the main pulse and the sub-pulse being 650fs,1950fs,3250fs, respectively.
Fig. 2 (d) shows pulse distributions in the time domain for different parameters B, and fig. 2 (c) shows spectral characteristics for different pulse delays. As can be seen by comparison, the frequency of the spectral modulation in the frequency domain decreases significantly as the time delay between the main pulse and the sub-pulse in the time domain decreases. Therefore, it is proved that the characteristic distribution of the main pulse and the sub pulse in the time domain is regulated and controlled through polarization mode dispersion compensation, and further the improvement of the spectrum modulation phenomenon of the polarization maintaining fiber laser system is practically feasible in theory. This section serves both as an important theoretical support for the invention and as a theoretical guide for the invention in practical applications.
