Abstract
[Object] An object of the invention is to provide a fiber laser device capable of stabilizing intensity of laser light output therefrom. [Means to attain the object] A fiber laser device 100 includes: an pumping light source 11 configured to output pumping light; a rare earth-doped fiber 20 to which the pumping light is input; and a first FBG 30 formed on one side of the rare earth-doped fiber 20 and a second FBG 40 formed on the other side of the rare earth-doped fiber 20 that are configured to reflect light amplified in the rare earth-doped fiber 20, wherein the second FBG 40 has a reflectance lower than that of the first FBG 30, a reflection wavelength band in that of the first FBG 30, and Bragg wavelength on short wavelength side of Bragg wavelength of the first FBG 30.
Claims4
A fiber laser device comprising:
- a pumping light source configured to output pumping light;
- a rare earth-doped fiber to which the pumping light is input;
- and
- a first FBG formed on one side of the rare earth-doped fiber and a second FBG formed on the other side of the rare earth-doped fiber that are configured to reflect light amplified in the rare earth-doped fiber, wherein
- the second FBG has a reflectance lower than that of the first FBG, a reflection wavelength band in that of the first FBG, and a center wavelength on short wavelength side of a center wavelength of the first FBG, wherein the entire reflection wavelength band of the second FBG is on short wavelength side of the center wavelength of the first FBG and within the reflection wavelength band of the first FBG on the short wavelength side of the center wavelength of the first FBG such that the first FBG exerts a property of a normal dispersion with respect to an input light reflected from the second FBG to prevent a modulation instability.
