Abstract
The output performance of an all-fiber diode pumped graded-index fiber Raman laser at 974 nm is investigated experimentally in detail. The laser is formed with kilometer length of 62.5/125 μm multimode fiber and a pair of fiber Bragg gratings inscribed in the same fiber. A maximum output power of 23.5 W is demonstrated, with a slope efficiency of 48.1 %. Beam cleaning from multimode diode pump at 940 nm (M2 ∼ 23) to Raman laser output at 974 nm (M2 ∼ 2) is observed. The output spectra exhibit multiple peaks, which are corresponded to different transverse mode groups. A direct link between spectrum and beam quality can then be established. The laser is temporally stable in first order Raman operation but becomes noisy and then fluctuates periodically after the emergence of the second order Raman Stokes.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
