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.
