Resumen
"This thesis reports on theoretical and experimental results of a novel Raman fiber laser (RFL) consisting on the addition of an ytterbium-doped piece of fiber to the cavity. We investigated the level of enhancement of this approach in free-running and chained configurations. The addition of the doped-fiber notably decreased the laser threshold and increased the efficiency. We found that the amplified spontaneous emission produced by the doped fiber started the stimulated Raman scattering earlier than the spontaneous scattering in a 350-m silica-fiber cavity. In the best case, when splicing to the cavity 127 cm of doped fiber, the pump threshold decreased from 2.9 W down to 1.27 W, representing a 56% improvement. This power was close to the theoretical minimum of 1.25 W for very long fibers. The second stokes signal (1175 nm) was only present when the doped fibers were inserted. At 4-W pump, the non-doped cavity delivered 2 W of first stokes signal (1115 nm) that represent a 50 % efficiency compared to ∼3 W delivered (~75 %) when a 34-cm doped fiber was inserted. This improvement is intended to reduce the cost of RFL’s because less powerful sources or shorter fibers are necessary to produce more stokes components."
