    摘要:

    传统光学参量放大系统的应用效果长期受驱动源性能限制,针对该问题,设计了一种基于1.5 μm全保偏掺铒光纤主振荡功率放大(Master Oscillator Power-Amplifier, MOPA)系统驱动的高功率中红外光学参量放大器。采用中心波长为3.27 μm的连续波带间级联激光器作为种子源,利用飞秒泵浦脉冲在周期极化铌酸锂晶体中对连续波种子光进行非线性切片与高效放大。实验结果表明:在泵浦功率为4.6 W时,产生了中心波长为3.25 μm、带宽为36.4 nm、最高平均功率达440 mW的中红外飞秒脉冲输出。采用的1.5 μm泵浦方案,有效避免了传统1 μm泵浦系统中存在的寄生可见光吸收及热透镜效应问题,在确保极佳抗热损伤能力与更高量子转化效率的前提下,配合长非线性晶体获得了极高的参量增益。此外,射频频谱测试表明:其基频信噪比优于50 dB,验证了该系统在高功率输出条件下仍具备优异的时频稳定性。该方案为发展高功率、紧凑型中红外飞秒光源提供了一条具有良好扩展潜力的技术路径。

    Abstract:

    The application effectiveness of traditional optical parametric amplification systems has long been limited by the performance of the driving source. To address this issue, a high-power mid-IR optical parametric amplifier is demonstrated using a 1.5 μm all-polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system. The OPA is seeded by a 3.27 μm continuous-wave (CW) interband cascade laser, where the femtosecond pump pulses perform nonlinear slicing and efficient amplification of the CW seed within a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. Experimental results demonstrate that at a pump power of 4.6 W, the system delivers mid-IR femtosecond pulses centered at 3.25 μm with a spectral bandwidth of 36.4 nm and a maximum average power of up to 440 mW. Notably, the 1.5 μm pumping scheme employed in this work fundamentally circumvents the bottlenecks of parasitic visible absorption and severe thermal lensing inherently suffered by traditional 1 μm pumped architectures. Benefiting from this exceptional immunity to thermal damage and a higher quantum efficiency limit, massive parametric gain is successfully extracted by utilizing a long nonlinear crystal. Furthermore, radio-frequency spectral analysis reveals a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 50 dB at the fundamental frequency, confirming that the system maintains superior time-frequency stability alongside its high-power performance. This architecture offers a highly scalable and robust technical paradigm for the development of compact, high-power mid-infrared femtosecond sources.
