在高功率脉冲光纤放大器中,由于增益介质长,抽运功率高,脉冲间隔产生的放大自发辐射(ASE)严重限制了光纤储能能力和可提取能量的提高。针对低重复频率、强抽运的条件,以稳态速率方程为理论基础建立了脉冲放大器模型,利用理论模型对脉冲放大器性能进行了分析,着重讨论了不同的数值孔径、激光功率填充因子、端面反射率、纤芯直径、光纤长度、抽运功率等参数对放大自发辐射的影响。讨论了光纤的储能、增益和可提取能量等的变化规律,给出了掺镱光纤中最大可提取的单脉冲能量以及放大器增益。

A pulsed pumped Yb-doped double-clad fiber (DCF) master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) at low repetition rate is reported. Seeded by a passive Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser, the fiber amplifier can generate 167-kW peak-power and 0.83-ns duration pulses at 200-Hz repetition rate. Because of the pulsed pump approach, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and the spurious lasing between pulses are well avoided, and the repetition rate can be set freely from single-shot to 1 kHz. Peak power scaling limitations that arise from the fiber facet damage are discussed.
