研究目的
To develop a framework consisting of a rigorous FDM method plus a dedicated and innovative multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) for optimizing the output pulse of an actively Q-switched fiber laser (AQS-FL) to achieve desired Gaussian pulses with specific peak power and duration.
研究成果
The developed GA successfully optimizes the output pulse of an AQS-FL regarding its shape, peak power, duration, and repetition mode. The method is extendable to much higher peak powers and other gain media, paving the way for intelligent pulse shaping in AQS-FLs.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the limitations of AOMs, including the inherent rise and fall times limited by the sound speed and beam diameter, and the assumption of equal rise and fall times. The method's feasibility is demonstrated for specific peak powers and pulse durations, with potential for extension to higher peak powers and different pulse durations depending on the fiber host material and modulator specifications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a finite difference method (FDM) and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the output pulse of an AQS-FL. The GA evolves the timing parameters of the modulator, pump power, and fiber length to achieve the desired pulse characteristics.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 7.5 m long Ytterbium-doped double clad fiber (YD-DCF) is used as the laser cavity. The study considers different scenarios for single pulse and pulse train generation.
3:5 m long Ytterbium-doped double clad fiber (YD-DCF) is used as the laser cavity. The study considers different scenarios for single pulse and pulse train generation.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: The setup includes an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) or electro-optic modulator (EOM), pump diode, wavelength division multiplexer (WDM), Ytterbium-doped active fiber, and output coupler (OC) FBG.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The GA is executed with 300 generations to optimize the modulator's timing parameters, pump power, and fiber length. The simulation run time is inversely proportional to the number of CPU physical cores and directly proportional to the number of generations.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzes the output pulse shape, peak power, and duration to evaluate the effectiveness of the GA in achieving the desired Gaussian pulses.
