  • Patent number: 7773640
    Abstract: A fiber laser device includes a laser pump for irradiating a laser beam, an optical component, an optical fiber and an optical sensor. The optical component has a first and a second output end, wherein a portion of the laser beam is output from the first output end and another portion of the laser beam is output from the second output end. The optical fiber including a core and a cladding layer is optically coupled between the laser pump and the optical component. A inclined angle ? of the first output end satisfies the following relations that ?NA/2????NA, and ?NA=sin?1(NA·ncladding/ncore), where NA is numerical aperture of optical fiber, ncore is refractive index of the core, and ncladding is refractive index of the cladding layer. The optical sensor is disposed at a light-transmission path of the laser beam reflected by the first output end.

  • Publication number: 20090285528
    Abstract: A fiber side-coupling apparatus can be spliced with active fiber as a fiber-based side-coupler in series at both sides for distributively-pumped monolithic fiber lasers. This side-coupling apparatus includes a large-mode-area double-clad passive optical fiber. A cladding grating, formed on the cladding surface of the passive fiber, comprises a plurality of grating members and a reflection layer formed thereon. A laser diode bar array is disposed on one side of the optical fiber opposite the cladding grating. A collimation device, placed between the optical fiber and the laser diode bar array, is used to collect the pump beam to the cladding grating as much as possible in fast axis and collimate the pump beam to be incident to the cladding grating in slow axis as normally as possible. The collimated pump beams emitted from a laser diode bar array are normally incident to the cladding grating within the alignment tolerance of ±2 to ±4 degrees.
