All-fiber passive Q-switched laser based on stimulated Brillouin scattering
This paper presents an all-fiber, passively Q-switched pulsed laser system with enhanced laser damage threshold and high-power output. A 1060-XP single-mode fiber serves as the scattering medium, utilizing Rayleigh scattering (RS) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effects. A fiber Bragg grating with a central wavelength of 1 064 nm and 10% reflectivity forms the resonant cavity mirror. The system produces a bidirectional, tunable laser output with stable Q-switching characteristics under varying pump power. The transition of the laser output through Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE), random lasing, and Q-switched pulsed operation is analyzed. At a pump power of 48.15 W, the system achieves a near-infrared supercontinuum output with a 7-ns pulse width, single-end output power of 11.79 W, wavelength coverage of 1 030-1 650 nm, 23.2% slope efficiency, and a peak power of up to 17 kW. The repetition rate is tunable from 3.7 to 100 kHz. This compact, robust laser design eliminates fragile components, offering a fully integrated, miniaturized solution for pulsed fiber lasers.
