Drawings
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a gain switched pulse laser amplifier according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the pump pulses of the gain switched pulse laser amplifier of the present invention;
the device comprises a 1-continuous seed light source, a 2-isolator, a 3-gain medium, a 4-beam combiner, a 5-pumping source and a 6-modulator.
Detailed Description
The present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings and the embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a gain switch type pulse laser amplifier, which includes a continuous seed light source 1, an isolator 2, a gain medium 3, a beam combiner 4, a pump light source 5, and a modulator 6;
in this embodiment, the continuous light source 1 is a continuous output semiconductor laser, and the seed light emitted by the continuous light source is coupled into the gain fiber 3 through the isolator 2, and the pump source 5 outputs a pulse pump light after being modulated by the modulator 6, and is coupled into the gain fiber 3 through the beam combiner 4 to pump the gain fiber 3. The gain medium forms population inversion during the period of pulse pump light to amplify the seed light, and only absorbs the seed light without amplification during the period of no pulse pump light.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, 0 to t1, t2 to t3, and t4 to t5, in a time period in which the pump pulse light is present, the gain fiber 3 forms population inversion, and the seed light passing through the gain fiber 3 is amplified and output after passing through the beam combiner 4.
As shown in t 1-t 2 and t 3-t 4 of FIG. 2, in the time period without pulse light, since the absorption coefficient of the gain fiber 3 for the seed light is very high, the seed light is almost completely absorbed after passing through the gain medium, and therefore, no seed light is output in the time period without pulse light. Thereby obtaining an amplified laser pulse output, the output laser pulse being highly correlated with the modulator electrical pulse signal. Laser pulse output such as square wave, sine wave or triangular wave can be obtained by changing the waveform of the electric pulse of the pump light source modulator; changing the amplitude and duty cycle of the modulator drive current changes the intensity and pulse width of the output laser pulses; varying the repetition rate of the modulator allows the repetition rate of the output laser pulses to be continuously adjustable.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all the equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
