We propose a robust spectral beam combining scheme using wavelength dependent polarisation rotators and polarization beam combiners. We successfully demonstrated the concept for two Yb-doped fiber lasers at 1064nm and 1092nm up to a total input power of 90W. The results reveal a very good combining efficiency and the potential for scaling to high power operations in this method of beam combining.

We experimentally demonstrate spatial beam self-cleaning in an Yb-doped graded-index multimode fiber taper, both in passive and active configurations. The input laser beam at 1064 nm was injected for propagation from the small to the large core side of the taper, with laser diode pumping in a counterdirectional configuration. The Kerr effect permits to obtain high-beam quality amplification with no accompanying frequency
Optical beam steering is a key element in many industrial and scientific applications like in material processing, information technologies, medical imaging and laser display. Even though galvanometer-based scanners offer flexibility, speed and accuracy at a relatively low cost, they still lack the necessary control over the polarization required for certain applications. We report on the development of a polarization steerable system assembled with a fiber polarization controller and a galvanometric scanner, both controlled by a digital signal processor board. The system implements control of the polarization decoupled from the pointing direction through a feed-forward control scheme. This enables to direct optical beams to a desired direction without affecting its initial polarization state. When considering the full working field of view, we are able to compensate polarization angle errors larger than 0.2 rad, in a temporal window of less than $sim 20$ ms. Given the unification of components to fully control any polarization state while steering an optical beam, the proposed system is potentially integrable and robust.
There has been tremendous progress in multi-parameter measurement of ultrafast laser, including optical spectrum and waveform. However, real-time measurement of full spectrum polarization state of ultrafast laser has not been reported. We simultaneously measure laser intensities of four channels by utilizing division-of-amplitude. Combining dispersive Fourier transform, dissipative soliton mode-locked by carbon nanotube can be easily detected by high-speed photodetector. By calibrating the system with tunable laser, we reconstruct the system matrix of each wavelength. According to intensity vector of dissipative soliton and the inverse matrix of the system, we get the full spectrum state of polarization in real time.
Superposition of two independent orthogonally polarized beams is a conventional principle of creating a new light beam. Here, we intend to achieve the inverse process, namely, extracting inherent polarization modes from a single light beam. However, inherent polarization modes within a light beam are always entangled so that a stable polarization is maintained during propagation in free space. To overcome this limitation, we report an approach that breaks the modulation symmetry of a light beam, thereby disentangling the inherent polarization modes. Using polarization mode competition along with an optical pen, polarization modes are extracted at will in the focal region of an objective lens. This work demonstrates polarization mode extraction from a light beam, which will not only provide an entirely new principle of polarization modulation but also pave the way for multidimensional manipulation of light fields, thereby facilitating extensive developments in optics.
We experimentally demonstrate spatial beam self-cleaning and supercontinuum generation in a tapered Ytterbium-doped multimode optical fiber with parabolic core refractive index and doping profile when 1064 nm pulsed beams propagate from wider (120 micrometers) into smaller (40 micrometers) diameter. In the passive mode, increasing the input beam peak power above 20 kW leads to a bell-shaped output beam profile. In the active configuration, gain from the pump laser diode permits to combine beam self-cleaning with supercontinuum generation between 520-2600 nm. By taper cut-back, we observed that the dissipative landscape i.e., a non-monotonic variation of the average beam power along the MMF leads to modal transitions of self-cleaned beams along the taper length.
