A kind of method of utilizing the adjustable femto-second laser of described time domain pulsewidth to produce femtosecond pulse, that the laser of the initial long pulse of continuous wave output is transmitted to photonic crystal fiber by optically coupled device, when transmission, the pulsing division by the modulational instability in photonic crystal fiber of initial long pulse, produces extremely narrow ultrashort femtosecond pulse; By changing the cross-sectional structure of photonic crystal fiber, can obtain from 1fs to 1ps within the scope of the femtosecond pulse in different time domain cycle;
Modulational instability in described optical fiber is in non linear system, and the interaction of nonlinear effect and effect of dispersion and cause the modulation to systematic steady state shows as continuous or quasi-continuous radiation modulation is split into ultrashort radiation;
Modulational instability in optical fiber occurs under anomalous dispersion condition, first ensures that the operation wavelength of pump laser is in the anomalous dispersion region of photonic crystal fiber, and the time domain cycle that modulation splits into ultrashort pulse is:

It is mainly the cross-sectional structure of design photonic crystal fiber, by diameter d and the pitch of holes Λ of design covering airport, the operation wavelength that makes pump laser is all the time under the prerequisite in photonic crystal fiber the anomalous dispersion region, changes the 2nd order chromatic dispersion factor beta of photonic crystal fiber in pumping wave strong point in very on a large scale 2thereby, change angular frequency interval Ω maxwith the cycle T of ultrashort pulse, obtain the femtosecond pulse of different time domain pulsewidth; Comprise:
1) design covering airport diameter and pitch of holes ratio, adopt self adaptation step Fourier method numerical solution laser in photonic crystal fiber, to transmit satisfied general non-linear Schrodinger equation, the long pulse that the complete works of pulsewidth of emulation half-shadow is 100ps, peak power 1400W transmits in the photonic crystal fiber of the long Different structural parameters of 1m, obtains the femtosecond pulse waveform under the different time domain cycle;
When pitch of holes Λ=3.0 of photonic crystal fiber, μ m is constant, reduce gradually the ratio d/ Λ of bore dia and pitch of holes, ratio d/ Λ by bore dia and pitch of holes is reduced to 0.35 gradually from 0.90, calculate abbe number and non linear coefficient under each cross-sectional structure parameter, substitution general non-linear Schrodinger equation numerical solution carries out emulation, obtain along with the reducing of the ratio d/ Λ of bore dia and pitch of holes, under different cycles, division formation is reduced to the femtosecond pulse of 3fs gradually from 1031.6fs;
Get corresponding airport diameter and pitch of holes ratio d/ Λ=0.87, obtain T=546.7fs femtosecond pulse waveform;

The ratio d/ Λ of its median pore diameter and pitch of holes generally should be less than 0.90, and the excessive airport that easily causes subsides; Meanwhile, the ratio d/ Λ of bore dia and pitch of holes should be greater than 0.35, can cause pumping wavelength 1064nm to fall into the normal dispersion district of optical fiber when being less than 0.35, and modulational instability can not occur;
2) design pitch of holes, constant when ratio d/ Λ=0.80 of airport diameter and pitch of holes, increases gradually pitch of holes Λ, the femtosecond pulse under the different time domain cycle of acquisition;
Adopt the pitch of holes of photonic crystal fiber is increased to 5 μ m gradually from 2 μ m, calculate abbe number and non linear coefficient under each cross-sectional structure parameter, substitution general non-linear Schrodinger equation carries out numerical simulation, and the cycle that can obtain is reduced to the femtosecond pulse of 1.1fs gradually from 140.5fs; Wherein pitch of holes should be less than 5 μ m, can cause pumping wavelength 1064nm to fall into the normal dispersion district of optical fiber when being greater than 5 μ m, and modulational instability can not occur.
