中文摘要： 钬掺杂~2.1微米波段光纤激光器在生物医学、光谱学、遥感测量、激光雷达、下一代光通信等领域有着重要的应用前景。但是，受泵浦方式，非线性效应及光致暗化等因素影响，钬光纤激光的输出功率和效率不高，使实际应用受到限制。与传统掺Ho石英光纤相比，硅酸盐玻璃光纤具有低处理温度，低成本，高稀土离子溶解性，易于制备双包层光纤，光致暗化效应小，以及大芯径条件下输出光束质量好等优势。因此本项目以硅酸盐玻璃为光纤基质，设计、制备高浓度钬单掺大芯径双包层光纤，研究的核心问题包括优化硅酸盐玻璃成分，探索Ho3+掺杂浓度与1.95 微米吸收及~2.1微米发光性能之间的关系；设计大芯径光纤结构，掌握玻璃熔制，光纤预制棒制备及光纤拉制过程中去除OH基团等杂质的关键技术；用同带泵浦的方式研究单掺Ho大芯径光纤~2.1 微米激光输出性能，并优化光纤参数，为~2.1 微米光纤激光的开发和实用化打下基础。

英文摘要： Ho3+ doped fiber laser operating around ~2.1 micron can find a number of important applications in medicine, spectroscopy,remote sensing, eye-safe lidar, and next generation tele communication. However, the poor efficiency of ~2.1 micron fiber laser and the low output power,which are restricteded by pumping scheme,nonlinear effect and photodarkening, limit its practical applications. Comparing with Ho doped silica fiber, silicate glasses possess advantages such as low melting temprature, low cost, high rare earth solubility,low photodarkening effect, good beam quality with large core size,and so on. We propose to use silicate glass as the fiber matrix, design and fabricate large core double cladding fiber with high Ho doping concentration. The key techniques include developing the silicate glass, optimizing the Ho doping concentration by analysis of 1.95 micron absorption and ~2.1 micron emission properties;design of Numerial Aperture(NA) of the core and cladding glasses to achieve a large core fiber with good beam quality; investigating the performance of ~2.1 micron fiber laser by using a 1.9 micron in band pump scheme, and then optimize the fiber parameters. The purpose of this project is to build up know how on fabricating singly Ho doped, large core double cladding silicate glass fiber with low propagation
