级联光栅调制深度差异对随机光纤激光器的影响研究

Influence of modulation depth difference of cascaded FBGs on random fiber laser

  • 摘要: 在随机激光器中,光纤光栅(fiber Bragg grating, FBG)及多个FBG级联作为波长选择元件广泛使用,但FBG的调制深度影响随机激光的输出性能。以两个FBG级联为研究对象,对比分析FBG调制深度差异对基于瑞利散射反馈的随机激光器的输出光谱的影响。当2个FBG的调制深度分别为3 dB和6.3 dB时,受增益竞争影响仅后者输出FBG中心波长处的随机激光。当2个FBG的调制深度分别为5.5 dB和6.3 dB时,稳定输出2个波长的随机激光;1 h内波长漂移分别为0.060 nm和0.044 nm,峰值强度波动分别为1.439 dB和1.486 dB。研究结论可为随机激光器中波长选择元件的设计和随机激光性能研究提供参考。

     

    Abstract: In random lasers, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and cascaded multi-FBG configurations are extensively employed as wavelength-selective components. However, the modulation depth of FBGs exerts a non-negligible influence on the output performance of random lasers. In this study, two cascaded FBGs were taken as the research subject, and the effect of discrepancies in FBG modulation depth on the output spectrum of random lasers based on Rayleigh scattering feedback was comparatively analyzed. When the modulation depths of the two FBGs were 3 dB and 6.3 dB, respectively, only the FBG with a modulation depth of 6.3 dB enabled random lasing at its central wavelength due to gain competition. When the modulation depths were 5.5 dB and 6.3 dB, respectively, stable dual-wavelength random lasing was achieved; within a 1-hour period, the wavelength drifts were 0.060 nm and 0.044 nm, while the peak intensity fluctuations were 1.439 dB and 1.486 dB, respectively. The findings of this research can provide valuable insights for the design of wavelength-selective components in random lasers and the investigation of random laser performance.
