S206: keeping auxiliary laser wavelength and power constant, scans pumping laser wavelength:
It keeps auxiliary laser wavelength and power constant, scans pumping laser wavelength;In optical microcavity output end, pass through spectrum Instrument observation output laser spectrum illustrates to have completed orphan's mode locking, stop if currently the spectrum of output laser has smoothed envelope It only scans, otherwise continues to scan on wavelength.
Pumping laser can be in the entire resonance region scanning wavelength of optical microcavity (including blue detuning and red detuning area), and scans Process will not destroy thermal equilibrium state in microcavity;In addition, can realize orphan's mode locking in optical microcavity every time with certainty.
S207: monitoring Ke Er light comb, feedback control auxiliary laser
After completing orphan's mode locking, by monitoring Ke Er light comb optical power, feedback control auxiliary laser wavelength realizes orphan's lock Mould state produces time stable state.When the reduction of Ke Er light comb power, increase auxiliary laser wavelength;When Ke Er light comb power increase, Reduce auxiliary laser wavelength.Using this feedback stability mechanism, orphan's mode-lock status can exist with long-time stable.And orphan Mode-lock status can be automatically restored to orphan's mode-lock status, greatly be mentioned after being lost by external interference by control auxiliary laser The stability of orphan's mode-lock status in high optical microcavity.
According to above step, orphan's mode locking in optical microcavity can be effectively realized.Compared to fast wavelength sweep or pumping The schemes such as Laser Modulation, the present invention in, by introduce auxiliary laser compensated cavity internal heat effect, pumping laser length scanning can be made General power remains relatively stable in microcavity in the process, and intracavitary optical power is in effectively blue detuning state, and entire microcavity can be kept In thermal steady state.Therefore, pumping laser can exist in red detuning regional stability and wavelength is continuously adjustable.Intracavitary orphan's number It can be a kind of determinant mechanism for realizing intracavitary orphan's mode locking by adjusting pumping laser flexibly to control.
