为了满足光纤激光器在宽光谱高能量应用领域的要求,搭建了一种结构紧凑的光纤型宽光谱啁啾脉冲放大系统。将色散管理型锁模激光器产生的高斯型脉冲作为种子源,注入到正色散掺铒光纤放大器中进行自相似放大,脉冲将逐渐演化成抛物线型,此过程中脉冲的谱宽和能量都迅速增大。随后脉冲经色散补偿光纤的时域展宽,双包层铒镱共掺光纤的功率放大,透射光栅对压缩后实现了高能量的宽光谱输出。并结合理论模拟,优化了激光器的各元件参数,最终在中心波长1 560 nm处实现了光谱宽度为30 nm,平均功率为1.3 W,脉宽为587 fs,重复频率为40.1 MHz的宽光谱高能量激光输出。该激光器结构紧凑,稳定性好,对光学频率梳、光通信等应用领域具有一定研究价值。 |

Fiber lasers have attracted substantial research interest due to their high stability,excellent beam quality and system compactness. Furthermore,lasers generating high-energy ultrafast pulses and operating at the 1 550 nm region are widely developed due to the low optical attenuation at the first communication window and more cost-effective than other laser sources in a variety of applications such as ultrafast spectroscopy, precision material processing and terahertz-wave generation. To achieve high-energy pulses,an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier was employed to amplify seed pulses. However,pulses will accumulate large nonlinear effects such as Self-Phase Modulation (SPM) and Stimulated Raman Scattering(SRS)during direct amplification,thus degrading the pulse quality. One common solution is to widen the pulse width by introducing a chirp before amplification. The peak power intensity is significantly attenuated,avoiding excessive nonlinearity. The amplified pulse is then de-chirped by a compressor. This method is called Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA). Several high-power CPA systems operating at 1.56 μm have been demonstrated in recent years. However,all of these sources produced a pulse with spectral width between 5 nm and 15 nm. Broadband fiber laser plays an important role in optical frequency combs,optical coherent tomography,optical coherence radar and fiber optical sensing systems. There is a lack of high-energy devices capable of generating pulses with spectral width above 30 nm. Several approaches have been utilized to generate broadband pulses. A noise-like mode-locked fiber laser was demonstrated based on the precise adjustment of intracavity dispersion. However,this laser regime was seldom applied in ultrashort pulses due to its incompressibility. A Mamyshev oscillator is able to generate broadband pulses as shorter than 100 fs at the expense of complicated intracavity structure and accurate pulse evolution. The extra-cavity generation method relies on Highly Nonlinear Fibers(HNLFs),such as photonic crystal fibers, whose complexity of design is increased by demanding careful selection of parameters for the seed pulse. In addition,the nonlinear effect induced by SPM generates a nonlinear chirp on both sides of pulses which degrades the beam quality in CPA systems. Note that self-similar pulses are nonlinear optical structures whose amplitudes and widths could be altered by dispersion,nonlinearity,gain and other system parameters,while maintaining the overall shapes. Since the self-similar pulse has a strict linear frequency chirp induced by the balance between SPM and normal group velocity dispersion in the erbium-doped fiber,it could be effectively compressed by grating pairs to obtain a high-power ultrashort pulse. Therefore, the combination of self-similar amplification and CPA is a promising solution to generating broadband watt-level pulse. High-energy ultrafast pulses based on parabolic evolution in ytterbium-doped lasers have been reported. Nevertheless,the Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier(EDFA) based on self-similar amplification operates at an anomalous dispersion region,which is less applicable to generating pulses with the average power above watt-level high-energy pulses comparing to Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier(YDFA). At the same time,high-energy CPA systems operating at 1 550 nm significantly lag behind Yb-doped lasers due to high quantum defect,thermal effects and nonlinearity. At present,there is no report on a broadband high-energy CPA system based on parabolic evolution operating at 1 550 nm. |
