Abstract: The laser device of the present invention includes a high-power, fiber-coupl ed optical source having a broad area laser diode (10) with a high reflective coating at its rear facet (12), coupling optics (20), and an optical fiber (30) having fiber grating (32). The fiber grating (32) serves to reflect a portion of the optical beam back to the broad area laser diode (10), thereby stabilizing the wavelength of the optical beam. The fiber grating (32) and the rear facet (12) of the broad area laser diode (10) serve as nodes for an external resonator, thereby limiting the diffraction of the optical beam. The effects of wavelength fluctuation and beam diffraction are reduced together using minimal mechanical components.

Abstract: An optical fiber (10) made with a central core (12), a first cladding layer (16), and a second cladding layer (18) having a series of perturbations or irregularities formed into the otherwise generally circular outer boundary of the first cladding layer (16). The irregularities in the first cladding layer (16) interrupt the propagation of skew rays and encourage coupling into the core (12).

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for the construction of micro-optical couplers incorporating optical tapers to reshape multimode optical inputs. Incorporating tapers allows the spatial properties of the multimode inputs to be adjusted to match to the spatial properties of the output fiber, even in systems that are limited to unity-magnification imaging optics. In an exemplary embodiment, a larger-core multimode fiber and a smaller-core double-clad fiber are glued into a glass capillary, with the multimode fiber tapering to a smaller diameter inside the capillary. Polishing the capillary to expose the taper gives a multimode core that is smaller than the double-clad core. Imaging with unity magnification through a GRIN lenses and a dichroic reflector transfers the multimode input efficiently to the double-clad fiber with greater efficiency than would have been possible with the same optics and an untapered fiber. The dichroic reflector is transparent to a second singlemode signal input, which is collimated by a second GRIN lens and coupled to through the reflector to the core of the double-clad fiber. An isolator may be included in the signal beam path, and the double-clad fiber may be replaced by a double-clad gain fiber.

Abstract: A multi-functional optical isolator that couples radiation from a plurality of input fibers to a plurality of output fibers such that an optical beam emitted from any particular input fiber is transmitted only to its corresponding output fiber. Additionally, an optical beam emitted in the reverse direction from any output fiber is not transmitted back into any of the input or output fibers. The multi-functional optical isolator includes a first focusing lens that collimates the optical radiation emitted from the input fibers and causes them to pass through an optical isolator. The optical isolator has polarizing elements and a magneto-optic polarization rotator. A second focusing lens focuses the optical beams into the output fibers such that the optical radiation from each input fiber is coupled to its corresponding output fiber. Additional off axis optical elements at other wavelengths may be used for providing bulk-optic coupling of a pump light into a singlemode or multi-mode core of a doped fiber. A vee-shaped isolator with a high reflector in the isolated beam path is possible and provides for additional beams coupled through the reflector.
