Abstract

We theoretically demonstrate a model which can be used to analyze frequency up-conversion of a laser wavelength by using thermal population. The proposed model uses a rate equation model of ytterbium-doped fiber with thermal population effect. The rate and power propagation equations are set up and numerically analyzed to elucidate the dependence of frequency up-conversion efficiency and thermal-optical conversion efficiency on ambient thermal power. The analytical techniques and numerical results show that using pump laser at 1 000 nm, the wavelength can be converted into 900 nm with an up-conversion quantum efficiency of about 99.97% and a cooling efficiency of about 11.1%. This theoretical model is a promising candidate for vast applications in energy-efficient laser and energy-utilizing field.
