研究目的
Investigating the observation of visible light flashes in a high power narrow-linewidth, polarisation-maintaining Ytterbium-doped fiber laser and their correlation with Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) and cascaded Raman Scattering.
研究成果
SBS pulses can trigger a cascade of Raman Stokes due to their high peak power, generating visible light flashes under suitable conditions. This phenomenon can serve as a monitor for SBS onset in high power narrow-linewidth fiber lasers, potentially preventing damage. This is the first demonstration of SBS-triggered cascaded Raman scattering in a fiber laser system.
研究不足
The resolution of the DSLR camera limited the ability to distinguish all wavelengths present in the flashes. The OSA's sweep time may miss short-duration events.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involved observing visible light flashes in a 500 W narrow-linewidth, polarisation-maintaining Ytterbium-doped fiber laser at the onset of SBS. The flashes were analyzed for their correlation with backward pulses generated by SBS.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The laser system included a 100 mW 1064 nm laser source with tunable linewidth, amplified to 500 W. The splice point between the pump combiner and the isolator was observed for flashes.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A photodetector connected to an oscilloscope, a DSLR camera, and an Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) were used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser was operated at increasing powers, and the temporal behavior was monitored. Visible flashes were captured with a DSLR camera, and spectral changes were observed with the OSA.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The image of the flash was processed using MATLAB to determine the wavelengths present. The OSA was used to detect Raman Stokes components.
