Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber beam combiner and a preparation method thereof, and the technical problem that reverse isolation performance for protection of a pump laser is poor is solved. The optical fiber beam combiner is composed of an input multimode fiber, an input signal optical fiber and an output optical fiber. After fused biconical tapering is carried out on a bare fiber of the input multimode fiber and a bare fiber of the input signal optical fiber to some extent, the bare fiber of the input multimode fiber and the bare fiber of the input signal optical fiber are perpendicularly cut from the middle to be connected with a bare fiber of the output optical fiber in a fused mode. The input signal optical fiber is an optical fiber having a cladding is formed by random optical fibers with claddings in a fused connection mode. The optical fiber beam combiner of the structure has excellent reverse isolation performance, well protects the pump laser, is especially applied to a high-power fiber laser and an optical fiber amplifier, and has the advantages of being simple in manufacturing process, high in coupling efficiency, stable in performance and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber technology, and in particular relates to an optical fiber combiner and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an optical fiber combiner applied to high-power optical fiber lasers and optical fiber amplifiers and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The emergence of double-clad fibers has made the production of high-power fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers a reality. Since E Snitzer first described cladding-pumped fiber lasers using double-clad fibers in 1988, cladding pumping technology has been widely used in the fields of fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers, and has become the preferred way to manufacture high-power fiber lasers. Compared with the ordinary single-mode fiber, the double-clad doped fiber not only satisfies the single-mode condition between the core and the inner cladding, but also has an outer cladding with a low refractive index, so that a multi-mode fiber...
