An in- house high-power tunable fiber laser was employed as the pump source. A fiber loop mirror （FLM） serving as a high reflectivity mirror and a flat-cut endface serving as an output coupler were adopted to provide broadband feedback. A piece of 59-m commercial passive fiber was used as the Raman gain medium. The Raman laser had a 27.6 nm tuning range from 1112 nm to 1139.6 nm and a maximum output power of 125.3 W, which corresponds to a conversion efficiency of 79.4%. The polarization extinction ratio （PER） at all operational wavelengths was measured to be over 21 dB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a hundred-watt level linearly-polarized tunable Raman fiber laser.展开更多

The RFL was developed by using a pair of fiber Bragg gratings with fixed and matched central wavelength(1120 nm)combined with a piece of 31-m-long polarization maintaining(PM) passive fiber adopted as Raman gain medium.The pump source was a homemade high-power, linearly polarized(LP) wavelength-tunable master oscillator power amplifier(MOPA) source with ～25 nm tunable working range(1055–1080 nm). High-power and high-efficiency RFL with extreme frequency shift between the pump and Stokes light was explored. It is found that frequency shift located within 10.6 THz and 15.2 THz can ensure efficient Raman lasing, where the conversion efficiency is more than 95% of the maximal value, 71.3%. In addition, a maximum output power of 147.1 W was obtained with an optical efficiency of71.3%, which is the highest power ever reported in LP RFLs to the best of our knowledge.展开更多

The dynamic dipole polarizability of a non-zero angular moment level has correlation with the polarization direction of the linearly polarized laser beam, and we show that the four hyperfine structure levels of 4S1/2,m=±1/2 and 3d5/2,m=±1/2 for ^40Ca^＋ have the same dynamic dipole polarizability at the magic wavelength and a certain polarization direction. In addition, the existence of a specific direction of polarization may provide a new idea for improving the precision of magic wavelength measurement in experiment.展开更多
