高功率光纤激光器的激光输出特性优化, 对进一步提高光纤激光器的输出功率以及实际应用中的切割、加工质量具有重要意义. 斜率效率、背向漏光以及受激拉曼散射是高功率光纤激光器设计中较为关心的输出特性参数. 作为核心器件, 光纤光栅对的参数设计与匹配, 会直接影响到整个激光系统的性能. 本文旨在探究光纤光栅对的参数匹配对激光输出特性的影响, 先是通过理论分析分别阐述了斜率效率、背向漏光以及受激拉曼散射的来源与相互关系; 然后通过实验设计, 采取了两组不同参数光纤光栅对组合, 从实验上分别探究了低反光纤光栅的光谱带宽以及反射率对激光输出特性的影响. 最后得出了光纤光栅对的优化参数与匹配原则, 为提高连续光纤激光器的激光输出特性提供了理论支持与参考价值.In order to improve the output power and processing quality in industrial applications, it is important to optimize the output characteristics of the high-power fiber lasers. The slope efficiency, backward leaking power and stimulated Raman scattering are key issues in high-power fiber laser design. The parameters matching the fiber gratings, which are the critical components, have a direct influence on the whole fiber laser system. In this paper, the parameters matching the fiber gratings in fiber lasers are investigated. Firstly, the origin of slope efficiency, backward leaking power and stimulated Raman scattering are analyzed in theory. Then the influences on output characteristics of fiber lasers comprised of the output coupler gratings, which have different bandwidths and reflectivities, are experimentally studied. Finally, the optimized parameters and matching principle of fiber gratings in high-power fiber laser are obtained , thus providing an alternative method to improve the output characteristics of high-power continuous wave fiber laser.
