초록
본 논문에서는 고출력 광섬유 레이저의 유도 브릴루앙 산란 억제 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 구형파, 사인파, 임의파 조건의 온도 구배 기구부를 설계 및 제작하였다. 또한 전광섬유 MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) 구조의 이터븀 첨가 편광유지 광섬유 증폭기를 제작하였으며, 온도구배 조건별 역반사 스펙트럼 및 출력을 측정하였다. 구형파 조건의 온도구배에 의해 유도 브릴 루앙 산란이 가장 효과적으로 억제되었으며, PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) 위상변조 조건과 온도구배 간의 유도 브릴 루앙 산란 특성에 끼치는 상호 영향성을 분석하였다.
Abstract
In this paper, we studied characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) suppression in high-power fiber lasers by using apparatuses applying a temperature gradient (i.e. a step, a sine shape, and random temperature distribution) along the fiber. From the ytterbium-doped polarization-maintaining fiber master oscillator power amplifier built in house, we measured the back-reflection spectrum and power for each temperature gradient, showing that the step shape temperature distribution was the most effective way to suppress SBS. In addition, we investigated the interaction of pseudo-random binary sequence phase modulation conditions and temperature gradients for SBS suppression.
