Abstract: Wavelength-tunable source of pulsed laser radiation for VIS-NIR spectroscopy which consists of a pump source (1) forming bursts of picosecond pulses of high pulse repetition rate, and a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (2). The pump source (1) comprises a solid-state regenerative amplifier (31) having one or two electro-optical switches (32,33) inside its resonator (44). The switches create partial transmission of the resonator for a time interval longer than a resonator roundtrip time, and eject a part of energy of a pulse circulating inside. Bursts of 5-10 ns duration are formed, which are filled with high peak power picosecond pulses. Pulse repetition rate of the order of GHz of pump pulses allows the construction of a compact optical parametric oscillator. The whole set of parameters ensures high energy efficiency, stability and an ability to provide output pulse bursts repeating at up to 10 kHz repetition rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a laser, including: a medium, having a ground state, an intermediate state, and an excited state in ascending order of energy; an excitation system, configured to excite electrons in the medium from the ground state to the intermediate state; and an excitation laser, configured to drive electrons in the intermediate state at different spatial positions in the medium to the ground state through a stimulated emission process with a fixed phase relationship, to generate a laser with a shorter relative wavelength. Due to the use of an excitation laser to drive electrons from the intermediate state, the photons generated by the stimulated emission have coherence, thereby forming a laser. In the present invention, an excitation system performing primary pumping combined with an excitation laser with a relatively long wavelength performing secondary pumping generate lasers with a relatively short wavelength, and the structure of the short-wavelength laser is simple, compact, and easy to be implemented. In addition, the cost of the short-wavelength laser can be reduced, and a laser with a shorter wavelength can be obtained.

Abstract: A fiber-based optical amplifier for operation at an eye-safe input signal wavelength λS within the 2 μm region is formed to include a section of Holmium (Ho)-doped optical gain fiber. The pump source for the fiber amplifier is particularly configured to provide pump light at a wavelength where the absorption coefficient of the Ho-doped optical gain fiber exceeds its gain coefficient (referred to as an “absorption-dominant pump wavelength”), and is typically within the range of 1800-1900 nm. The selection of an absorption-dominant pump wavelength limits the spontaneous emission of the pump from affecting the amount of gain achieved at the higher wavelength end of the operating region. The amount of crosstalk between the signal wavelength and pump wavelength is also reduced (in comparison to using the conventional 1940 nm pump wavelength).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber encapsulation mechanism for energy dissipation in a fiber amplifying system. One example embodiment includes an optical fiber amplifier. The optical fiber amplifier includes an optical fiber that includes a gain medium, as well as a polymer layer that at least partially surrounds the optical fiber. The polymer layer is optically transparent. In addition, the optical fiber amplifier includes a pump source. Optical pumping by the pump source amplifies optical signals in the optical fiber and generates excess heat and excess photons. The optical fiber amplifier additionally includes a heatsink layer disposed adjacent to the polymer layer. The heatsink layer conducts the excess heat away from the optical fiber. Further, the optical fiber amplifier includes an optically transparent layer disposed adjacent to the polymer layer. The optically transparent layer transmits the excess photons away from the optical fiber.

Abstract: A pulsed optical beacon source is formed of a fiber-based amplifier including a preamplifer stage (responsive to a CW seed laser source) and a booster stage coupled to the output of the preamplifier stage. The pump input to at least one stage is pulsed and controlled in a manner that allows for the formation of a pulsed beacon output that is able to perform the PAT requirements of a beacon source, while also allowing for a low bit rate (e.g., a few Hz to a few kHz) upstream data signal to be sent between the beacon source and a target's optical receiver.
