研究目的
Investigating the effects of tandem pumping strategy on thermally induced mode instability (TMI) suppression in a high power, narrow-bandwidth master oscillator power amplification (MOPA) system.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a record 4 kW power level all-fiberized, narrow-bandwidth MOPA system using tandem pumping for TMI suppression. The system achieves high slope efficiency and beam quality, with the TMI threshold significantly increased compared to traditional 976 nm pumping. However, further power scaling is challenged by the interplay of SBS, SRS, and TMI effects.
研究不足
The study is limited by the coexistence and potential mutual-coupling of multi-detrimental effects (SBS, SRS, and TMI) at high power levels, which complicates further power scaling and optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a tandem pumping strategy in a narrow-bandwidth MOPA system to suppress TMI. One-stage phase modulation technique is used for SBS suppression.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The system uses a low noise, strictly single-frequency fiber laser as the seed, amplified through three-stage all-fiberized pre-amplifiers and a final amplifier pumped by 1018 nm all-fiberized lasers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a phase modulator, signal generator, isolators, fiber couplers, and various Yb-doped active fibers with specific core/cladding diameters and pump absorption coefficients.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The seed laser's spectral bandwidth is broadened using phase modulation, then amplified through pre-amplifiers and a final amplifier. Output power, spectral bandwidth, and beam quality are measured at various stages.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzes the output power, spectral bandwidth, and beam quality (M^2 factor) to evaluate the system's performance and the effectiveness of TMI suppression.
