Abstract
This article mainly studies the physical model design and code simulation of a thulium-doped fiber laser that outputs 1750nm laser. The optical fiber laser has been widely used due to its excellent performance compared with other solid-state laser devices. Among all types of fiber lasers, ytterbium-doped fiber lasers possess the highest output power, whereas they seem to be impractical when an output laser with a longer wavelength is required. However, Thulium-doped lasers have huge room for development to solve the problem, whose unique center wavelength characteristics provide them with huge utilization value. This article shows the electronic transition process a of thulium-doped laser and the power transmission diagram in the fiber. Its rate equation and power equation are also listed below. Through paper retrieval and data extraction, the values of laser parameters can be accurately confirmed, and its power curve can also be obtained through simulation. After analyzing the data obtained from the simulation, the working principle of the fiber laser was intuitively displayed, and the performance of the system was further evaluated. Last but not least, several limitations of this experiment will also be discussed, in order to explore the system more thoroughly.
