Compared with discrete optical fiber amplification technology, Distributed Raman Amplification (DRA) technology has shown obvious advantages in many aspects such as noise figure, nonlinear damage, gain bandwidth, etc., and has gained advantages in the field of optical fiber communication and sensing. widely used. High-order DRA can make the gain deep into the link to achieve quasi-lossless optical transmission (that is, the best balance of optical signal-to-noise ratio and nonlinear damage), and significantly improve the overall balance of optical fiber transmission/sensing. Compared with conventional high-end DRA, DRA based on ultra-long fiber laser simplifies the system structure, and has the advantage of gain clamp production, showing strong application potential. However, this amplification method still faces bottlenecks that restrict its application to long-distance optical fiber transmission/sensing

Fiber lasers use rare-earth-doped fiber as the gain medium, and the pump light forms a high power density in the fiber core, causing the "population inversion" of the doped ion energy level. When a positive feedback loop (forming a resonant cavity) is properly added, It produces laser output.

The traditional laser uses the thermal accumulation of laser energy to melt and even volatilize the material in the active area. In the process, a large number of chips, micro-cracks and other processing defects will be generated, and the longer the laser lasts, the greater the damage to the material. The ultra-short pulse laser has an ultra-short interaction time with the material, and the single-pulse energy is super strong enough to ionize any material, realize non-hot-melt cold processing, and obtain the ultra-fine, low-damage processing advantages incomparable with long-pulse laser. At the same time, for the selection of materials, ultrafast lasers have wider applicability, which can be applied to metals, TBC coatings, composite materials, etc.

Some solid-state laser gain media are doped with transition metal ions, and the transitions involved are those of electrons in the three-dimensional shell. Figure 1 shows the commonly used transition metal ions and their host media.
