Summary of the invention
The present invention solves above-mentioned technical matters to propose a kind of method and apparatus utilizing electrooptical effect to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering, uses the method and device can realize for the good inhibiting effect of pulse laser beam.
Under regard to principle of work of the present invention and be described in detail, wherein Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows the stimulated Brillouin scattering restraining device in Chinese patent application 201010602572.9.As shown in Figure 1, linearly polarized laser device 101, electro-optical medium 102, and power supply 103, it is characterized in that, electro-optical medium is in the outside of linearly polarized laser device 101, and the linearly polarized laser that linearly polarized laser device 101 sends is through electro-optical medium 102, power supply 103 periodically applies voltage for electro-optical medium 102, and wherein applied voltage is half-wave voltage.Two electro-optical mediums 203 and 205 are included in embodiment shown in Fig. 2, if laser instrument 101 is pulsed laser, to laser instrument 101 launch laser beam after electro-optical medium, so the polarization state of laser beam will be become two kinds of polarization states from original single linear polarization, according to applied voltage time, the pulse laser beam of linear polarization is through the situation that roughly there will be after electro-optical medium as Fig. 3 a-3h.
First Fig. 3 a and 3b, when electro-optical medium is in halted state, through after electro-optical medium, it still keeps single linear polarization to laser beam, or be S polarization, or be P polarization, namely also namely in whole pulse length, only have S polarization or P polarization, when laser beam is now transmitted in media as well, the signal intensity of excited Brillouin is maximum, and also electro-optical medium does not produce effect for the stimulated Brillouin scattering of laser beam.
Then Fig. 3 c and 3d, in whole pulse length, the polarization state of the laser beam of a seldom part is only had to be changed, conceivablely be, laser beam now through electro-optical medium just serves certain effect for stimulated Brillouin scattering, because at least on that of end-of-pulsing is a bit of, polarization state is orthogonal with part above, situation shown in Fig. 3 c and Fig. 3 d is relative to the situation shown in Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, be provided with the inhibiting effect of stimulated Brillouin scattering, but, be appreciated that its inhibiting effect is certainly not the strongest.
Fig. 3 e and Fig. 3 f again, wherein a kind of polarization state occupies 1/3rd of whole pulse length, another polarization state occupies 2/3rds of whole pulse length, the polarization state that both differences are just to occupy whole pulse length 2/3rds is continuous distribution or spaced apart, Fig. 3 e is continuous distribution, Fig. 3 f is spaced apart, and shown by the conceivable Fig. 3 of being e and Fig. 3 f, the inhibition of situation is better than the inhibition of Fig. 3 c and Fig. 3 d.
Saw Fig. 3 g and Fig. 3 h the most afterwards, in these two figure, any one polarization state all occupies the half of whole pulse length, also namely whole pulse length by two kinds of orthogonal polarization state averaged occupations, difference is that one is the half occupying pulse continuously, another one is the half occupying pulse in the mode of interleaved, and so problem has also just been come, now inhibition shown by Fig. 3 g and Fig. 3 h compare with the inhibition shown by Fig. 3 f than Fig. 3 e good or bad.
In order to solve the above problems, we prior theory are analyzed stimulated Brillouin scattering.We know, the signal intensity of stimulated Brillouin optical wherein I srepresent the signal intensity of stimulated Brillouin scattering light, I prepresent incident laser beam intensity, g 0represent stimulated Brillouin scattering gain coefficient, l represents the interaction length between stimulated Brillouin scattering light and the laser of incidence.
For general nanosecond and femtosecond or picosecond laser, what its pulse length was the longest should be nanosecond laser, for the laser beam of several nanosecond pulse length, its pulse length had is about about 2 meters (for the transmission mediums such as optical fiber or water), so wherein the longest interaction length is the half of pulse length, also about 1 meter is, in this length or shorter distance, for optical transmission medium usually used, the decay of laser beam can be ignored, also namely think I pbe a constant, stimulated Brillouin scattering gain coefficient g 0only relevant with the material behavior of Laser Transmission medium, it is a constant, and we suppose that the length occupied by S (or P) polarization state is x, and so the actual interaction length of this polarization state should be and the length occupied by P (or S) polarization state should be just the interaction length of its reality is wherein c represents the light velocity, and n represents that the medium refraction index that laser beam is propagated, T are the pulse width of pulse laser beam wherein, and so the stimulated Brillouin scattering light that produces in media as well of this pulse laser beam is strong wherein I ssrepresent total stimulated Brillouin scattering intensity that intrafascicular two polarization states of this pulse laser (P polarization and S polarization state) produce, represent that the stimulated Brillouin scattering light that S (or P) polarization state produces is strong, represent that the stimulated Brillouin scattering light that P (or S) polarization state produces is strong, to I ssdifferentiate obtains extreme value and can obtain, when time pulse laser beam total excited Brillouin light intensity of producing obtain extreme value, can obtain this extreme value according to analysis above should be minimum value, so can draw such conclusion, the half occupying whole pulse length when a kind of polarization state (S or P polarization state) can obtain best inhibition, is also Fig. 3 g and the situation shown by Fig. 3 h.What the laser beam also namely with this polarization state structure was transmitted in media as well can suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering preferably.

Embodiment
By analysis above, we can obtain, in order to obtain the inhibition of good stimulated Brillouin scattering in the whole pulse length of laser beam, what needs were accomplished is exactly make pulse laser beam in the half being pulse laser beam length through the length occupied by orthogonal two polarization states after electro-optical medium.
The half of pulse laser beam length is occupied separately, as long as execute the alive time can realize by controlling electro-optical medium in order to realize two orthogonal polarization states.
This realization comprises two kinds of modes, one carries out accurate synchro control by controller (such as digital delay generator) to the outgoing time of laser beam with to electro-optical medium applying voltage time, also namely when half pulse before pulse laser beam is by electro-optical medium, electro-optical medium there is no voltage (or there is voltage), and when rear half pulse of pulse laser beam is by electro-optical medium, electro-optical medium then has voltage (or not having voltage), also namely half pulse in front and back of pulse laser beam is antipodal by the voltage status on electro-optical medium during electro-optical medium, so both can realize the situation shown by Fig. 3 g, each polarization state is all the half occupying pulse length continuously.For this situation, slightly more complex in control, but the benefit brought also is apparent, because in this fashion, the polarization state of pulse laser beam is not through changing frequently, substantially can not the application of paired pulses laser beam have an impact, because the polarization state that can not change laser beam too frequently may be required in some applications.
Another mode is the voltage status by changing frequently on electro-optical medium, also the time namely having voltage in each cycle is the same with not having the time of voltage, also namely the dutycycle of voltage is 1: 1, require to execute the alive time very short simultaneously at every turn, as long as execute the alive time and do not execute the alive time all very short at every turn, the polarization state of the change pulse laser beam of high frequency could being realized, in order to improve frequency, the electro-optical medium that two or more cooperatively interact can be used.Make in this way, only need at pulse laser beam through before electro-optical medium, electro-optical medium is in running order, this mode can realize the situation shown by Fig. 3 h, and the benefit of this mode is exactly do not need accurately to control to execute the alive time, and does not also need the outgoing time of coordinating laser beam, relatively simple in control, but the problem brought also clearly, that is to say the polarization state needing to change laser beam frequently, this may cause cannot using in some applications.
Use which kind of mode in the middle of actual, then need to require according to the application of laser beam and be controlled to originally to select.
