    Abstract: A random distributed Rayleigh feedback fiber laser based on a double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber includes: a pump laser source, a pump combiner, a cladding power stripper, and a double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber for simultaneously achieving distributed active gain and random distributed Rayleigh feedback. An output end of the pump combiner is connected with one end of the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber, the other end of the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber is connected with an input end of the cladding power stripper, and a concentration of ytterbium ions in the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber is in a range of 0.5×1023 to 1×1027/m3. The laser provided by the present invention solves the problem that the existing random fiber lasers cannot simultaneously utilize distributed active gain and random distributed Rayleigh feedback with a single type of fiber.

    Abstract: A speckle-free imaging light source based on a random fiber laser (RFL) using a strong-coupling multi-core optical fiber, relating to a field of optical fiber laser illumination light source, is provided, mainly including a pumping source and an optical fiber loop mirror, and further including the strong-coupling multi-core optical fiber with/without a single-mode optical fiber. Through directly adopting the strong-coupling multi-core optical fiber or combining the single-mode optical fiber with the strong-coupling multi-core optical fiber to serve as a main device in the RFL-based illumination light source, the generated RFL has multiple transvers modes and low spatial coherence which prevent speckle formation during illumination, which provides an ideal illumination light source for high-speed full-field speckle-free imaging technology.

    Abstract: A distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system based on space-division multiplexing with multi-core fiber (MCF) is proposed. It relates to a technical field of distributed optical fiber sensing. The present invention maintains the advantage of single-ended measurement in the standard DAS system, and realizes the intensity accumulation of the Rayleigh backscattering light within each core of the MCF, which can greatly improve the strain resolution of DAS systems. Moreover, the introduction of optical switch can make different code sequences transmit in the different core of the MCF simultaneously, which can make the single-pulse response with coding gain demodulated without sacrificing the frequency responding bandwidth. Furthermore, the utilization of space-division multiplexing can make multiple pulses with precious time delay transmit in the MCF simultaneously, which can greatly improve the frequency responding bandwidth of DAS system.
