摘要： A method and apparatus for suppression of four-wave mixing using polarization control with a high power polarization maintaining fiber amplifier system. The apparatus includes a master oscillator (MO) that generates a beam; a polarization controller that receives the beam from the MO and transmits the beam with a desired polarization; a pre-amplifier that receives the beam from the polarization controller, pre-amplifies the beam, and transmits the beam; a high power fiber amplifier that receives the beam from the pre-amplifier, amplifies the beam, and transmits an output beam; and a polarization detector that detects the polarization of the output beam. The polarization detector transmits feedback to the polarization controller to ensure that the output beam components aligned with the principal birefringent axes of the high power fiber amplifier have approximately equal power.

摘要： A system and method for combining plural low power light beams into a coherent high power light beam by means of a diffractive optical element operating as both a beam combiner and beam sampler. An oscillation source transmits a master signal that is split into plural beams propagating at a common wavelength. Each beam is phase locked by a corresponding phase modulator according to a phase correction signal. The beams are directed through a fiber array to the diffractive optical element to allow efficient coherent combination of the beams at a desired diffraction order. The diffractive optical element includes a periodic sampling grating for diffracting a low power sample beam representative of the combined beam. A phase detection stage detects phases of constituent beams in the sample beam from which the phase correction signals are derived and fed back to the phase modulators. The diffractive optical element may be further modified to collimate beams diverging from the fiber array and to focus the sample beam onto a phase detector.

摘要： A solid state laser amplifier architecture in which multiple zig-zag slab laser amplifiers (50) are stacked together, side-pumped using a common pump source (52, 54), and cooled with a common cooling system. The stack of zig-zag slabs (50) produces an array of sub-beams (62) that can be combined coherently into a single composite output beam. Variations in pump power absorption through the stack are mitigated by selection of doping levels for the slabs (50). The composite output beam is sufficiently symmetrical to be directed through conventional optics of circular cross section. Multiple stacks may be arranged in a two-dimensional array to obtain even higher output powers.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a system and method for designing efficient multi-channel FBG gratings using a pre-compensated phase mask for diffracting light for side-writing the grating on an optical fiber core. A desired phase function of the FBG is generated, specifically tailored to an effective spacing between the phase mask and the optical fiber core. From the phase function a phase mask is pre-compensated to offset diffraction effects associated with each longitudinal position of the FBG receiving light from two corresponding longitudinal positions of the phase mask substantially symmetrically spaced longitudinally relative to each particular longitudinal position of the FBG. The two corresponding longitudinal positions of the phase mask are spaced longitudinally from each other by a spacing determined by the effective spacing between the phase mask and fiber core and by the first order diffraction angle of light through the phase mask.

摘要： A method and apparatus for suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) includes a master oscillator (MO) that generates a beam; a birefringent element that receives and transmits the beam, wherein the beam is transmitted with a transmission delay between two orthogonal axes; a polarization controller that receives the beam and transmits the beam with a desired polarization; a fiber amplifier that receives the beam, amplifies the beam, and transmits a beam; a compensating birefringent element that receives the beam, approximately removes the transmission delay between the two axes of the beam, and transmits an output beam; and a polarization detector that detects the output beam's polarization and provides feedback to the polarization controller to ensure that the polarization of the output beam is approximately equal to a desired output polarization, so as to reduce SBS.

摘要： A method for combining beams from multiple laser emitters, which may be optical fibers or bulk amplifiers, to form a composite output beam with desirable beam characteristics, as measured, for example, by Strehl ratio. Beams from the multiple emitters are interferometrically combined in the near field, and the phases of the beams are controlled to provide optimal phase coherence, and thereby to minimize losses. Various techniques are disclosed for controlling the phase angles of the emitted beams, using either a separate phase detector for each emitter beam, or a single detector for the composite output beam, or nulling detectors in spurious outputs from the beam combining optics. All of these techniques achieve an improvement in Strehl, largely because the interferometric combination of beams is independent of the array fill factor.

摘要： A laser array architecture scalable to very high powers by fiber amplifiers, but in which the output wavelength is selectable, and not restricted by the wavelengths usually inherent in the choice of fiber materials. A pump beam at a first frequency is amplified in the fiber amplifier array and is mixed with a secondary beam at a second frequency to yield a frequency difference signal from each of an array of optical parametric amplifiers. A phase detection and correction system maintains the array of outputs from the amplifiers in phase coherency, resulting in a high power output at the desired wavelength. A degenerate form of the architecture is disclosed in an alternate embodiment, and a third embodiment employs dual wavelength fiber amplifiers to obtain an output at a desired difference frequency.

摘要： The invention reduces the effects of stitching errors from re-scaling or re-positioning in the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings or the mask used in such fabrication. A first embodiment of the invention preferably uses characteristics of stitching errors to compensate for the stitching errors themselves. By increasing the number of stitching errors, errors caused by the stitching errors can be reduced. A second embodiment uses continuous writing of the desired pattern, wherein the desired pattern is snapped to a grid that can be written by the fabrication equipment. Using continuous writing eliminates stitching errors in the resulting gratings.

摘要： A high power laser system is provided having a master oscillator for generating a reference laser beam of desired beam quality, means for dividing the reference beam into multiple sub-beams, a multi-slab gain module positioned to receive the multiple sub-beams as input beams, and means for adjusting the sub-beams in phase to allow the output sub-beams to be coherently combined as a single composite output beam. Optionally, additional multi-slab gain modules similar to the first multi-slab gain module may be positioned to receive amplified output sub-beams from the first multi-slab gain module. The additional multi-slab gain modules generate further amplified output sub-beams of high aggregate power.
