Optimal design of Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifiers with an Yb-band fiber Bragg grating

In this paper, Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifiers(EYDFAs) with an Yb-band fiber Bragg grating(FBG) at the pump end to improve the performance of the amplifier is systematically studied. The influence of the reflectivity and center wavelength of the FBG along with the gain-fiber length on the performance of an EYDFA are numerically analyzed. The results show that the wavelength of the FBG has critical influence on the efficiency of the EYDFA,whereas the requirement to its reflectivity is relaxed. It is an effective and promising way to improve the efficiency of a high-power pumped EYDFA by introducing a suitable Yb-band FBG at the pump end. Based on the analysis of the underlying principles, suggestions for the practical design and possible further improvement strategies are also proposed.

L波段可调谐线形腔Er/Yb共掺双包层光纤激光器

报道了一种结构简单、工作在L波段、可调谐的线形腔Er/Yb共掺双包层光纤激光器 利用由两段高双折射光纤和两个偏振控制器构成的环镜滤波器对激光器进行调谐,使调谐范围达到34nm,功率起伏小于±0. 2dB 用976nm多模LD泵浦Er/Yb共掺双包层光纤产生的ASE作为二次泵源,对未泵浦的一段光纤进行泵浦,使腔内Er/Yb共掺光纤的增益谱移到L波段;多个泵浦源同时对Er/Yb共掺双包层光纤进行侧向泵浦。

Al^(3+)/Yb^(3+)/P^(5+)掺杂对石英玻璃紫外透过和紫外激发荧光的影响

采用溶胶–凝胶法结合高温真空烧结工艺制备了不同浓度的Al^(3+)/Yb^(3+)/P^(5+)掺杂石英玻璃。研究了P^(5+)和Al^(3+)的引入对Yb^(3+)掺杂石英玻璃紫外透过和紫外激发荧光光谱,以及Yb4d电子结合能的影响,并初步探索了其机理。研究结果表明,Al^(3+)/Yb^(3+)/P^(5+)掺杂石英玻璃在190~300 nm波段的吸收主要来源于O2-→Yb^(3+)的电荷迁移吸收,其谱带位置和Yb4d电子结合能随Yb^(3+)的第二配位元素(Al、Si、P)电负性增大向高能方向移动。真空烧结条件下,引入Al^(3+)会引发石英玻璃中Yb^(3+)还原为Yb2+,其典型的吸收峰位于330 nm处;然而,在Al^(3+)/Yb^(3+)共掺的基础上再引入P^(5+),且P^(5+)/Al^(3+)摩尔比大于1时,可以有效抑制Yb2+的形成。紫外光激发引起的近红外发光(976 nm)是电子从电荷迁移态弛豫到Yb^(3+)激发态向基态跃迁的结果,可见发光(525 nm)归因于Yb2+的5d→4f跃迁。本文研究结果对通过优化工艺和调整组分制备出高性能的Yb^(3+)掺杂光纤具有一定的指导意义。

高功率脉冲Er-Yb共掺光纤放大器中放大自发辐射的抑制方法

为了研究放大的自发辐射(ASE)对高功率脉冲Er-Yb共掺光纤放大器(EYDFA)的影响,采用数值模拟对EYDFA中不同参数信号的放大进行了研究。结果表明,Yb波段(1.0～1.1μm)ASE是制约放大器输出功率提升的主要因素。因此,有效地抑制Yb波段ASE将有助于放大器性能的提高。通过进一步研究发现,在放大器的抽运端引入一个Yb波段的辅助信号能有效地抑制Yb波段ASE,从而提高抽运转换效率,提升放大器的输出功率。

采用高温烧结工艺制备了多种掺杂浓度的掺铒硼硅酸盐玻璃、镱铒共掺硼硅酸盐玻璃样品。依据扎得-奥菲而特(Judd-Ofelt,J-O)理论计算了三价铒离子扎得-奥菲而特强度参量Ωk(k=2,4,6)和自发辐射寿命、自发辐射跃迁几率、荧光分支比、谱线强度等参量。用麦克库玻(McCumber)理论分析了镱铒共掺硼硅酸盐玻璃铒离子上转换红光(4F9/2→4I15/2)、绿光(2H11/2→4I15/2)的受激发射截面。结果表明,随着掺铒硼硅酸盐玻璃中铒离子浓度的增加,扎得-奥菲而特参量Ω2变小;镱铒共掺硼硅酸盐玻璃的Ω2则随掺镱浓度的提高而增大,且高于已有的硅酸盐、氟化物、铋酸盐玻璃的相应值,同时上转换红光和绿光的受激发射截面略有增加。

Boosting single-band red upconversion luminescence in colloidal NaErF_4 nanocrystals:Effects of doping and inert shell

Single-band red upconversion luminescence(UCL) is vital to in vivo bioimaging as well as "see and treat" biomedicines. Herein, starting with the previously reported β-NaErF4:Tm UCNPs, we examined the effects of both Yb^(3+) doping and inert shell coating on the red-to-green(R/G) ratio for Er3+ based UCL. The doping of Yb^(3+) into the β-NaErF4:Tm3+ core not only enhances the whole UCL intensity, but also raises the R/G ratio by 1.25 times. In addition, the coating of an inert NaYF4 shell, which is usually adopted for the enhancement of UCL intensity, further boosts the R/G value up to as high as 77.92. This work may benefit the potential bioimaging application of single-band red UCL.

Upconversion luminescence and color tunable properties in Yb-Tb codoped Ca_(0.15)Zr_(0.85)O_(1.85) inverse opal

The upconversion （UC） luminescence and color tunable properties of Tb3＋ ions were investigated by steady spectral under 980 LD excitation in the Cao.15ZrO.8501.85：Yb,Tb inverse opals fabricated by the self-assembly technique in combination with a sol-gel method. The inhibition of UC emission was inspected if the Tb3＋ UC emission band was in the regions of the photonic bandgap, while enhancement of the UC emission occurred if the UC emission band located at the edge of the bandgap. Color modification of the UC emission was successfully obtained by the suppression or enhancement effect of the photonic band gap on the UC emission.
