    摘要:

    为了实现可调谐双波长激光输出,提出并设计了 一种基于自反馈光注入结构的掺Er3+光纤(EDF)激光器,并对激光器的基 本原理及实现方案进行了理论分析和实验验证。系统结构设计采用976nm波长的LD作为泵浦源,结合EDF,两支 光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)和光纤环形镜(FLM)产生激光,并通过在FLM中熔接饱和吸收体(SA) 起到稳频作用;将FLM输出激光耦合进入谐振 腔形成自注入结构,与腔内振荡激光形成干涉,抑制模式跳变;通过控制两支FBG之间的 可调谐衰减器调节谐振腔内 的增益和损耗,实现单个波长或双波长输出。实验结果表明:SA长采用4m、EDF长采用6m时,激光输出阈值为28mW, 将反馈光注入谐振腔后,系统阈值为25mW,输出激光波长随时间漂 移得到明显抑制;当泵浦光功率为80mW时,通过调节 位于两支FBG之间的可调谐衰减器(VA)获得稳定的双波长激光输出;随着泵浦功率 增加,激光输出功率具有良好的线性度和稳定性。 在1540nm波长处激光输出最大功率为1.16mW,信噪比(SNR)大于50dB;在1545nm波长处激光输出最大功率为1. 89mW,SNR大于50dB。

    Abstract:

    In order to realize a tunable dual-wavelength laser output,an Er3+- doped fiber laser based on self-feedback light injection is proposed,and the theoretical analysis and experimental verification are pres ented in detail.In the designed configuration,one 976nm laser diode (LD) is used for pumping,Er3+-doped fiber (EDF) is adopted as the gain medium,the laser cavity is composed of a fiber loop mirror (FLM) and two FBGs,and a saturable absorber (SA) is used to improve the output laser stability.In order to improve the laser stability and restrain the mode hopping,the output laser f rom FLM is used as self-feedback light which is coupled into the cavity by a 90∶10coupler.The interference is shown whe n injection light and oscillating light transmit in the cavity,a weak Bragg grating is generated and some certain waves can be restrain ed,so that a fiber laser with stable output is achieved. A switchable single-wavelength and dual-wavelength laser is achieved by adjust ing the variable attenuator between two FBGs.In the experiment,an EDF of 4m length is selected as the SA,and an EDF of 6m length i s adopted as the gain medium.In the end,the threshold is reduced from 28mW to 25mW after self-feedback light is injected into the cavi ty.When pump power is 80mW,a stable tunable dual- wavelength output is realized by adjusting the variable attenuator (VA).When the pump power is improved,the single wavelength laser at 1540nm and 1545nm is measured and the po wer is 1.16mW and 1.89mW,respectively,and the SNR is greater than 50dB.A stable and tunable dual-wavelength Er3+-doped fiber laser is achieved by self-feed back light injection structure and SA,which can optimize the system and improve the working efficiency.
