激光器光纤激光器被动调Q Cr4+:YAG晶体纳秒脉冲时间抖动 lasers fiber laser passively Q-switched Cr4+:YAG crystal nanosecond pulse timing jitter

摘要

报道了Cr4+:YAG晶体作为可饱和吸收体用于包层抽运掺镱光纤激光器被动调Q并得到稳定纳秒脉冲输出。采用环形腔和线形腔两种腔形，可有效抑制受激布里渊散射（SBS）的非线性效应，抑制自脉冲产生，从而得到稳定被动调Q脉冲输出。采用环形腔结构，得到稳定的1 μs脉冲输出，时间抖动和振幅抖动均方根（RMS）值小于5%。线形腔中采用高反射率光纤布拉格光栅（FBG）作为输出腔镜，也实现稳定脉冲输出，重复频率9.1~30.3 kHz可调谐，最窄脉宽156 ns，远远小于国内报道的微秒量级脉冲宽度。虽然平均输出功率只有几百毫瓦，因采用光纤输出，此类脉冲激光器可作为种子源，进而与光纤放大器相匹配，经光纤放大器放大输出功率可达到几十瓦，从而满足实际工业应用需求。

Abstract

A cladding pumped passively Q-switched Yb-doped fiber laser with Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber is reported and stable nanosecond pulse trains is gotten. Two laser configurations of linear cavity and ring cavity are set up, and both of them can effectively restrain the generation of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and the generation of self-pulse. A ring cavity with Cr4+:YAG inside the cavity to obtain stable 1 μs pulse trains is established. The amplitude fluctuation and timing jitter are below 5% (RMS). Further more, stable pulse trains by using a high reflective fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as a resonator mirror in a linear cavity is reached. The tunable pulse repetition rate is from 9.1 kHz to 30.3 kHz and the minimum pulse duration is 156 ns which is much less than microsecond pulses reported before. Although the average output power is only hundreds milli-watts now, it is convinient to boost the power with a stage of fiber amplifier because the laser uses a fiber coupler as the output of pulse trains. This kind of pulse laser can be used as a seed source and amplified to tens of watts for practical applications in the future.
