Progress in research on high power Raman fiber lasers in China

Recently, the research team led by Feng Yan, a researcher at the Space Laser Information Technology Research Center of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made new progress in the research of high-power Raman fiber lasers. A 镱-Raman integrated fiber amplifier structure is proposed, which effectively solves the main technical bottleneck problem of Raman fiber laser power boost. For the first time at 1120nm wavelength, 580W single transverse mode linear polarization Raman fiber laser and 1.3kW are obtained. Near-unimode Raman fiber laser output.

In recent years, high-power fiber lasers have developed rapidly. The 1μm band erbium-doped fiber laser has a near diffraction limit output power of up to 20kW and a multi-transverse mode output power of up to 100kW. Nevertheless, the output wavelength of rare earth doped fiber lasers can only cover a limited spectral range due to the limitation of the energy level transition of rare earth ions, which limits its application fields. Raman fiber lasers based on the stimulated Raman scattering effect in optical fibers are effective means to extend the wavelength range of fiber lasers.

In this study, two or more wavelengths of seed lasers were injected into a typical high-power erbium-doped fiber amplifier, and the wavelength spacing corresponds to the Raman frequency shift of the fiber. The seed laser at the center of the helium ion gain bandwidth is first amplified, and the Raman Stokes laser is stepwise amplified as a pump laser in the subsequent fiber. A preliminary demonstration experiment obtained a 300 W 1120 nm Raman fiber laser output; then a larger cladding (400 μm) fiber was used to obtain a 580 W single transverse mode linearly polarized Raman fiber laser and a 1.3 kW near single mode Raman. Fiber laser output. The results were published in "Optics Letters" and "Optics Express" [Opt. Lett. 39, 1933-1936 (2014); Opt. Express 22, 18483 (2014)]. In view of the fact that the current high-power erbium-doped fiber lasers adopt a main-vibration amplification structure, the newly proposed fiber amplifier structure can be used to further increase the output power of the Raman fiber laser. Preliminary numerical calculations also show that the technical method is expected to obtain kilowatt-level laser output at any wavelength in the range of 1 to 2 μm.

The research was supported by the 100-member program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National “863” Program, and the National Natural Science Foundation.

If you're a novice stained glass hobbyist, a glass grinder can help you create beautiful, professional looking projects from the very start. Glass grinders allow you to alter the shape of your glass more easily than glass saws do, and you`ll waste less of that expensive glass due to inaccurate cuts. Because you can grind precisely, the pieces of your project will fit together better, and because glass grinders leave a rougher surface, copper foil will adhere better to the edges. Finally, stained glass grinders with specialty bits simplify tasks like drilling holes, mitering glass edges and removing texture from the glass surface. These tips and tricks can help you get more use out of your stained glass grinder, and ensure that you`re using it safely. Positioning Hints for Easier Working Place your glass grinder where you`ll get good overhead light to make it easier to work. Keep in mind, though, that your shadow will fall over your work. Add a second light to shine from the front for the best illumination while you work. Make sure that the grinder is at a comfortable height for you to work with. If you`ll be standing, you should be able to bend your arms at the elbow and place your hands where you`ll be holding the glass. Positioning the grinding surface higher or lower will put extra strain on your shoulders and lower back. Put a stool on the floor beside you. Working with one foot elevated can reduce back strain when you work for long periods of time. Put a splash guard around your stained glass grinder to keep from splattering other surfaces with overspray while you work. Working Tips for Glass Grinders Mark pattern lines on the glass with a paint pen. It will help you follow the pattern more easily and the paint is more likely to stay on than other types of markers. Have a towel handy for drying your pieces before you place them on the pattern to measure them. Keep your glass piece flat on the grinder`s work surface to prevent angling the edges. If the glass cuts your fingers while you`re grinding, you may need to reposition or replace the bit. Ease up and check the bit for wear to make sure the bit isn`t too worn to do its job properly. Keep your water reservoir filled to the right level. If you see a white buildup around the grinding head, it means that there`s not enough water getting to the bit. Check to be sure that the sponge has contact with the bit and that there is enough water or coolant in the reservoir. Stained glass grinders are a valuable addition to your stained glass supplies and tools. If you use it carefully and treat it properly, you`ll find that it`s invaluable in helping you create professional, beautifully finished pieces of glass art.
