Time response characteristics of photodarkening-induced loss in Yb-doped fiber amplifier

Time response characteristics of photodarkening-induced loss in Yb-doped fiber amplifier
Photodarkening (PD) can degrade the output power and increase the thermal load in Yb-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers by increasing the propagation loss in the core [1,2]. PD can be attributed to color centers [3] and is reported to grow when the fiber is in use, over times from a few minutes to many hours (e.g., [2-4]). Typically, this is characterized in terms of a reduced output power of the operating device, but it is also possible to measure the transmission with non-resonant optical probes before, during, and after use. Although faster changes in the photodarkening are also possible [3], they have received little attention. Such fast changes can affect both the impact and the characterization of photodarkening.

Abstract

Photodarkening (PD) can degrade the output power and increase the thermal load in Yb-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers by increasing the propagation loss in the core [1,2]. PD can be attributed to color centers [3] and is reported to grow when the fiber is in use, over times from a few minutes to many hours (e.g., [2-4]). Typically, this is characterized in terms of a reduced output power of the operating device, but it is also possible to measure the transmission with non-resonant optical probes before, during, and after use. Although faster changes in the photodarkening are also possible [3], they have received little attention. Such fast changes can affect both the impact and the characterization of photodarkening.
