Using ytterbium doped single-clad/double-clad fiber amplifiers, different amplification experiments were conducted on narrow pulse width picosecond light, and the influence of self-phase modulation on pulse frequency domain characteristics during amplification was analyzed. A self developed picosecond oscillator based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode locking is used to directly enter the main amplifier device. The oscillator has a pulse width of 6.8 ps, a repetition rate of 20.76 MHz, and a center wavelength of 1064.3 nm. After amplification, the maximum output power is 315 mW, with an energy of about 15 nJ. The phenomenon of spectral changes caused by selfphase modulation of picosecond pulsed light during amplification is explored. When the output pulse optical power is about 200 mW and the pulse energy is about 10 nJ, and the injection power is 39.4 mW, 134 mW, 229.2 mW, and 326.8 mW, respectively, the corresponding spectral widths are 0.187 nm, 0.522 nm, 0.53 nm, and 0.588 nm, respectively. Experimental research shows that under the same output pulse energy conditions, the smaller the injected optical power, the better the output pulse spectral morphology. As the injected optical power decreases, the effect of pulse shape on self-phase modulation in fiber lasers decreases.
We mainly study the conversion efficiency of Erbium/Ytterbium (Er/Yb) co-doped silicate glass fiber (Nufern PM-EYDF-12/130-HE) under different pump wavelengths, pump methods, gain fiber length and input signal power. Through a series of experimental studies, it is found that the hybrid pump mode of multi-mode pump diodes at 976 nm and 915 nm/940 nm are more efficient than that of single-wavelength pumping. When the input signal power is 85 mW, the fiber length is 3.9 m, the hybrid pump power of 976 nm and 940 nm is 10 W respectively, the output optical power can reach 6.41 W, and the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 33.7 %, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is more than 45 dB. When the hybrid pump power of 976 nm and 915 nm is 10 W respectively, the output power can reach 6.31 W, and the PPCE is 33 %. Under the condition of 20 W reverse pump power, the optical-to-optical efficiency of 976 nm, 915 nm and 940 nm single-wavelength pump is 30.7 %, 25.2 % and 21.7 % respectively.
