J. Augst such as Spectral beam combining, Incoherent beam combining and optics coherence tomography, J. K. Ranka, T. Y. Fan, A. Sanchez. Beam combining of ytterbium fiber amplifiers (Invited) [J]. J. Opt. Soc. Am. B, 2007,24 (8): 1707-1713).Wherein, optics coherence tomography laser array can obtain the high light beam quality of nearly diffraction limit while improving laser output power, it is the study hotspot (list of references 2: Liu Zejin of superlaser technical field, Zhou Piao, Wang little Lin, horse Yan Xing, Xu Xiaojun, Hou Jing. the history of Laser coherent combining, present condition and developing tendency [J]. Chinese laser, 2010,37 (9): 2221-2234).

Optical Fiber Communication Conference andExposition and The National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference, 2005, OFJ4), for the fiber laser that repetition rate is so low, the method of general employing pulse pump (utilize pulse laser but not continuous laser as pumping laser) amplifies (list of references 8:X. Huang to suppress spontaneous radiation, B. Guo, W. Yang, et al. Pulsed-pumped optical fiber amplifier [J]. Chinese Optics Letters, 2009, 7 (8): 712-714).But, current optical-fiber laser optics coherence tomography be all for continuous laser and repetition rate higher than the pulse laser of 10kHz, there is no effective method and optics coherence tomography carried out to the pulse pumped laser of this kind of low-repetition-frequency.The object of this patent is exactly to address this problem, and provides a kind of low-repetition-frequency optical-fiber laser optics coherence tomography system of pulse pump.
