Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser, and particularly relates to a design of an all-fiber laser system and a method for generating explosion mode soliton pulses.
Background
The ultrashort pulse fiber laser has the advantages of good beam quality, high peak power, short interaction time between laser and materials and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of laser marking, laser micromachining, laser derusting, pulse laser deposition and the like.
Depending on the material and processing requirements, the performance requirements for the laser beam in terms of single pulse energy, pulse width, repetition rate, etc. also vary. In high precision micromachining applications, researchers have proposed using laser pulses operating in soliton burst-mode to reduce the rate at which heat is dissipated from the material, thereby increasing ablation efficiency. The soliton burst mode refers to soliton cluster pulses with repetition frequency in the MHz magnitude, and the pulse repetition frequency inside the soliton cluster is in the GHz magnitude. Because the burst mode pulse has higher pulse peak power and lower system average power, the ablation characteristic of the pulse laser is superior to that of a common high-repetition-frequency ultrashort pulse fiber laser, and an alternative solution is provided for the field of material processing.
The burst mode pulse is mainly obtained by introducing an active device, such as an acousto-optic modulator (AOM), an electro-optic modulator (EOM), a Phase Modulator (PM) or an Intensity Modulator (IM), in the outside of a laser cavity to modulate an optical pulse in a time domain to generate an ideal seed pulse train. In recent years, in a Nonlinear Polarization Rotation (NPR) passive mode-locked fiber laser, by increasing pumping power and accurately regulating and controlling parameters such as intracavity birefringence and dispersion, interaction among a plurality of pulses split due to a peak power clamping effect is balanced, and a stable soliton explosion mode can be realized.
Therefore, an all-fiber laser system and a method for generating soliton burst mode are provided, a complex pulse shaping technology is not needed, the electronic technology is not needed, burst mode pulse can be generated through simple debugging, and the all-fiber laser system and the method have wide application prospect in high-quality laser micromachining.
