Pump bleaching of Tm-doped fiber with 793  nm pump source

Abstract: We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the strong recovery of the optical-optical slope efficiency of gamma-ray-irradiated Tm-doped fiber under 793 nm laser diode (LD) pumping. The fiber optical-optical slope efficiency, the fiber cladding absorption spectra, and the fluorescence spectra of the Tm-doped fiber before and after 500 Gy gamma-ray irradiation have been measured for comparison. It is found that the fiber optical-optical slope efficiency had significant degradation from 56.3% to 26.7% a… Show more

“…Besides, remarkable drop of the output power is observed with the increase of the radiation dosage. This phenomenon is consistent with the experiments reported for both Yb-doped fiber lasers and Tm-doped fiber lasers [34][35][36].…”

“…For low power Er-doped and Er/Yb-codoped fiber amplifiers, experiments show that, without radiation-hardening or radiation-resistant treatment, a typical gain decrease over 50% at ∼100 Gy can be expected [32,33]. For moderate power Tm-doped fiber lasers, in 2015, Li reported the degradation of a 10 W level Tm-doped fiber laser with the Tm-doped fiber exposed to gamma radiation [34,35]. Experiments show that the output power and slope efficiency of the laser decrease monotonously with the accumulation of the radiation dose.…”

“…7 we can see that as the pump power increases, an obvious photo-bleaching phenomenon occurs, and it starts to slow down when the pump power reaches 100 mW. Related studies have shown that the photo-bleaching effect can recover part of the amplification performance of optical fibers, and that the higher the radiation dose the lesser the degree of recovery [24], [25]. In our case, the photo-bleaching effect recovers part of the amplification properties of the irradiated EDFs especially for EDFA1 at high doses.…”

“…In addition, studies found that PD in Tm 3+ :ZBLAN is effectively mitigated by thermal annealing at 49°C (78) and ∼100°C (64). For Tm 3+ -doped silica fibers, it was revealed that optical irradiation at 514 (89) or 793 nm (118) alleviates the PD effect. Notably, photobrightening is now being observed in Tm 3+ -doped nanocrystals, specifically in ANPs that have experienced PD after intense 1,064-nm excitation.…”
