Description
図1を参照すると、従来型ポンプ結合器(pump combiner)セクションを番号11で示してある。この種のポンプ結合器は、米国特許第5,864,644号に詳細に記載されており、その記述を参照するために、これを本明細書に組み入れてある。この図では6本を示してある、複数のマルチモード光ポンプ・ファイバ13が、図のように円形状に束ねられている。増幅しようとする信号を搬送する光ファイバを、あるいはレーザ装置の場合には能動レーザ空胴(active laser cavity)を有する光ファイバを、15で示す。本説明の部分において、レーザ用または増幅器用を問わず、能動導波路を信号ファイバと呼ぶことにする。束を互いに融着して、引き抜き加工することによって16で示す結合セクションが生成される。この図解において、引き抜きにより得られる縮減は約1/3であり、したがって信号ファイバのコアは約1/3に縮小される。
図2は、光が、光ファイバ15の入力から、ポンプ結合器11によって生成される縮小セクション16を介して、利得セクション17へと進行するときの、光学経路における激しい不連続性を説明している。図2には、それぞれの要素のコア18、19、20のみを示してある。先に挙げた例に従うと、入力15でのコア直径18は、標準的なシングル・モード・コア直径、例えば約9ミクロンである。このコアが、ポンプ結合器(コア19)においては、約3ミクロンに縮小される。利得セクションのコア20は、過剰なパワー密度による損傷を防止するために大きくされており、これを約50ミクロンとして示してある。ポンプ結合器セクション16のコア19を出て、利得セクションのコア20に投入される光ビームが、激しい段差拡大を通過することは明らかである。また、このような大きな段差が、ビーム内の光エネルギーの大部分を高次モードに結合させて、最終的に所望の増幅を低減させることも明らかである。
n(r)=n0[1−g2r2]0.5
で与えられ、ここでn0は光学軸上での屈折率であり、gは次式、
g=(2Δ)0.5/a
で与えられる焦点パラメータであり、ここで、Δ(=[n0−n(a)]/n(a))は、中心コア(n0)とクラッドとの間の屈折率差(分数として表される)であり、aはコア半径である。要素26におけるガウスビームの特性のさらなる詳細は、文献(Kishimoto et al., IEEE trans. Microwave Theory Tech., Vol. MTT-30, No.6, pp 882-893, June 1982)に記載されている。
