A low-numerical-aperture (NA) concept enables large-mode-area fiber with better single-mode operation ability, which is beneficial for transverse mode instability and nonlinear effects suppression. In this contribution, we reported a high-power fiber amplifier based on a piece of self-developed large-mode-area low-NA fiber with a core NA of 0.049 and a core/inner cladding diameter of 25/400 µm. The influence of the pump wavelength and fiber length on the power scaling potential of the fiber amplifier is systematically investigated. As a result, an output of 4.80 kW and a beam quality factor of ∼1.33 were finally obtained, which is the highest output power ever reported in a fiber amplifier exploiting the low-NA fiber. The results reveal that low-NA fibers have superiority in power scaling and beam quality maintenance at high power levels.

The 1.4–1.8 µm eye-safe lasers have been widely used in the fields of laser medicine and laser detection and ranging. The diamond Raman lasers are capable of delivering excellent characteristics, such as good beam quality concomitantly with high output power. The intra-cavity diamond Raman lasers have the advantages of compactness and low Raman thresholds compared to the external-cavity Raman lasers. However, to date, the intra-cavity diamond cascaded Raman lasers in the spectral region of the eye-safe laser have an output power of only a few hundred milliwatts. A 1485 nm Nd:YVO4/diamond intra-cavity cascaded Raman laser is reported in this paper. The mode matching and stability of the cavity were optimally designed by a V-shaped folded cavity, which yielded an average output power of up to 2.2 W at a pulse repetition frequency of 50 kHz with a diode to second-Stokes conversion efficiency of 8.1%. Meanwhile, the pulse width of the second-Stokes laser was drastically reduced from 60 ns of the fundamental laser to 1.1 ns, which resulted in a high peak power of 40 kW. The device also exhibited single longitudinal mode with a narrow spectral width of < 0.02 nm.

We demonstrate single-mode microdisk lasers in the telecom band with ultralow thresholds on erbium-ytterbium co-doped thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN). The active microdisk was fabricated with high-Q factors by photolithography-assisted chemomechanical etching. Thanks to the erbium-ytterbium co-doping providing high optical gain, the ultralow loss nanostructuring, and the excitation of high-Q coherent polygon modes, which suppresses multimode lasing and allows high spatial mode overlap between pump and lasing modes, single-mode laser emission operating at 1530 nm wavelength was observed with an ultralow threshold, under a 980-nm-band optical pump. The threshold was measured as low as 1 µW, which is one order of magnitude smaller than the best results previously reported in single-mode active TFLN microlasers. The conversion efficiency reaches 4.06 × 10-3, which is also the highest value reported in single-mode active TFLN microlasers.

In this paper, a new concept of forward-pumped random Raman fiber laser (RRFL)-based liquid refractive index sensing is proposed for the first time. For liquid refractive index sensing, the flat fiber end immersed in the liquid can act as the point reflector for generating random fiber lasing and also as the sensing head. Due to the high sensitivity of the output power of the RRFL to the reflectivity provided by the point reflector in the ultralow reflectivity regime, the proposed RRFL is capable of achieving liquid refractive index sensing by measuring the random lasing output power. We theoretically investigate the effects of the operating pump power and fiber length on the refractive index sensitivity for the proposed RRFL. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we experimentally realize high-sensitivity half-open short-cavity RRFL-based liquid refractive index sensing with the maximum sensitivity and the sensing resolution of –39.88 W/RIU and 2.507 5 × 10-5 RIU, respectively. We also experimentally verify that the refractive index sensitivity can be enhanced with the shorter fiber length of the RRFL. This work extends the application of the random fiber laser as a new platform for highly-sensitive refractive index sensing in chemical, biomedical, and environmental monitoring applications, etc.

半导体激光器在光通信、生物医疗、激光雷达等领域中得到广泛应用,其单模稳定输出特性一直是国内外的研究热点。制备了一种基于表面高阶曲线光栅的宽脊波导半导体激光器,刻蚀曲线型高阶光栅后高阶横模损耗远大于基横模损耗,同时设置宽脊电流限制注入结构,使得高阶横模激射阈值高于基横模阈值,从而改善器件的横模特性并压窄光谱线宽。利用温控模块将器件的工作温度控制为18 ℃,对腔长为2 mm、条宽为500 μm的器件进行测试,在0.5 A电流下测得慢轴发散角为5.3°,快轴发散角为29.2°,在1 A驱动电流下测得3 dB光谱线宽为0.173 nm,边模抑制比为22.6 dB。实验结果表明,表面高阶曲线光栅对宽脊波导半导体激光器中的高阶横模起到了抑制作用且能够压窄光谱线宽,有助于实现半导体激光器的单模稳定输出,同时器件采用紫外光刻工艺,大幅降低了器件的制备难度。

GaAs基垂直腔面发射激光器在干法刻蚀过程中,台面侧壁形成的缺陷会导致器件出现层结构分层、断裂以及氧化孔不规则等问题。针对该问题,提出了一种干法刻蚀与硫化铵钝化相结合的氧化前预处理方案,研究了硫化铵钝化处理对器件层结构以及氧化工艺稳定性的影响。扫描电子显微镜测试结果表明:器件侧壁层结构的分层现象减少,器件结构稳定性更好;高 Al 层的氧化速率更稳定,氧化孔形状更为规则。将该工艺方案用于制备氧化孔直径为5 μm的940 nm垂直腔面发射激光器,室温下,与传统工艺制备的器件相比,钝化后的器件的斜率效率提高了5%,各器件之间的性能一致性更好。同时,在1 mA的驱动电流下,激光器的边模抑制比可达36 dB,处于单模激射状态。在优化后的氧化工艺条件下,制备了形状规范的氧化孔结构,进一步改善了氧化限制型垂直腔面发射激光器的性能。
