Abstract

In this study, we investigated the influence of fiber parameters on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and identified a unique pattern of SRS evolution in the counter tandem pumping configuration. Our findings revealed that the SRS threshold in counter-pumping is predominantly determined by the length of the output delivery fiber rather than the gain fiber. By employing the counter tandem pumping scheme and optimizing the fiber parameters, a 10 kW fiber laser was achieved with beam quality M2 of 1.92. No mode instability or severe SRS limitation was observed. To our knowledge, this study achieved the highest beam quality in over 10 kW fiber lasers based on conventional double-clad Yb-doped fiber.

基于反串联泵浦方案的 10 kW 高光束质量光纤激光器的设计和优化方法

在这项研究中，我们研究了光纤参数对受激拉曼散射（SRS）的影响，并确定了反串联泵浦配置中 SRS 演变的独特模式。我们的研究结果表明，反向泵浦中的 SRS 阈值主要由输出传输光纤的长度而非增益光纤决定。通过采用反串联泵浦方案和优化光纤参数，实现了 10 kW 光纤激光器，光束质量 M2 为 1.92。没有观察到模式不稳定或严重的 SRS 限制。据我们所知，这项研究在基于传统双包层掺镱光纤的 10 kW 光纤激光器中实现了最高的光束质量。
