Slab-based Faraday isolators and Faraday mirrors for 10-kW average laser power.
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the use of slabs instead of rods makes it possible to fabricate Faraday isolators and Faraday mirrors operating at a multikilowatt power. Analytical dependences of thermally induced depolarization in Faraday devices on radiation power and on slab aspect ratio have been obtained.

Faraday Isolators for High Average Power Lasers
The average power of solid-state and fiber lasers has considerably increased during the last ten years. The 10 kW power is not record-breaking any longer, and a topical problem nowadays is to create lasers with a power of 100 kW. Therefore, the study of thermal effects caused by absorption of laser radiation in the bulk of optical elements becomes ever more important. The Faraday isolator (FI) ...
متن کاملMonolithic Integration of Semiconductor Waveguide Optical Isolators with Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes
Monolithically InP-based photonic integrated circuits, where more than two semiconductor optoelectronic devices are integrated in a single InP substrate, have long history of research and development. Representatives of these InP-based photonic integrated circuits are, electroabsorption modulator integrated distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB LDs) (Kawamura et al., 1987, H. Soda et al., 1990...
متن کاملA Comparison of Delayed Self-Heterodyne Interference Measurement of Laser Linewidth Using Mach-Zehnder and Michelson Interferometers
Linewidth measurements of a distributed feedback (DFB) fibre laser are made using delayed self heterodyne interferometry (DHSI) with both Mach-Zehnder and Michelson interferometer configurations. Voigt fitting is used to extract and compare the Lorentzian and Gaussian linewidths and associated sources of noise. The respective measurements are w(L) (MZI) = (1.6 ± 0.2) kHz and w(L) (MI) = (1.4 ± ...
متن کاملAll - fiber Faraday Devices Based on Terbium - doped Fiber
Surface damage is one of the most problematic power limits in high-power fiber laser systems. All-fiber Faraday components are demonstrated as a solution to this problem, since they can be completely fusion-spliced into existing systems, eliminating all glass-air interfaces. Beam filamentation due to self-focusing places another limit on the peak power attainable from fiber laser systems. The l...
متن کاملInvestigation of non-reciprocal magneto-plasmonic waveguides for compact integrated optical isolators on silicon
Introduction Creating compact on-chip non-reciprocal components is of fundamental interest in integrated optics at telecom wavelength of 1.55 μm. Today a lot of integrated functions are available commercially such as lasers, couplers, filters, modulators, but there is a lack of non-reciprocal integrated functions like optical isolators and circulators. Commercial optical isolators are expensive...
