Problems solved by technology

In the case of ensuring the optical rotation angle, the outer dimension of the magnetic ring that provides the magnetic field for the Faraday medium increases rapidly with the increase of its inner diameter (that is, the Faraday aperture). Therefore, this design not only has a high material cost for the Faraday medium, but also The package size of the device is large and the power handling of the optical isolation device is limited

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical isolation method. Forward light is split into two polarized light components in a polarization light-splitting device at the incident end, light paths of the two polarized light components are intersected after the two polarized light components are emergent from the polarization light-splitting device at the incident end, a polarization rotator is arranged at the intersection, the two polarized light components are intersected in internal space of the polarization rotator, backward light after passing the polarization rotator deflects angularly and deflect parallelly in the polarization light-splitting device at the incident end, and the backward light is separated from the forward light paths. The invention further discloses an optical isolation device which comprises an input optical fiber, an output optical fiber, two collimating lenses, two polarization light-splitting devices and one polarization rotator. Power bearing capacity can be improved, requirements on clear aperture of the Faraday rotator are lowered, and package size of the device is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical isolation technology of fiber lasers, in particular to a polarization-independent high-power optical isolation method and device applied to fiber lasers. Background technique [0002] Because of its good beam quality, high conversion efficiency and good stability, fiber laser has become the representative of the third-generation laser technology, and has unparalleled technical advantages compared to other lasers. At present, high-power fiber lasers have been widely used in many fields such as industrial processing, optical fiber communication, printing roll making, military defense, and medical equipment. In the long run, fiber lasers will gradually replace high-power carbon dioxide lasers and YAG high-power lasers in most applications. [0003] When the fiber laser is working, in addition to the forward-transmitting working light in its optical path, there are also reverse-transmitting reflected light due to various r...
