Description

Saturable absorber manufacturing method, saturable absorber and laser
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser, in particular to a manufacturing method of a saturable absorber, the saturable absorber and a laser.
Background
Laser is one of the greatest inventions of human beings, has the advantages of good coherence, high energy density, strong stability and the like, and has become one of the most important tools in scientific research and industrial production.
With the development of the technology, the fiber laser can generate ultrashort pulses with high peak power, narrow pulse width and wide spectrum. Especially, the high repetition frequency ultrashort pulse fiber laser has been widely applied to the fields of optical frequency comb, optical communication, laser ranging, high-speed optical sampling, nonlinear optical biological imaging and the like, and is a introduction direction and research hotspot of laser technology development.
At present, there are three methods for obtaining high repetition frequency pulses: active mode locking, ultra-short cavity mode locking and passive harmonic mode locking. The active mode locking requires a high-frequency signal generator or other additional equipment outside a resonant cavity, so that the system cost and the structural complexity are increased; the ultra-short cavity mode locking can also obtain high repetition frequency pulse, but is limited by the physical length of the cavity, and further increase of the repetition rate is difficult. In contrast, passive harmonic mode locking is considered to be one of the simpler and more efficient methods of generating high repetition frequency pulses.
On the other hand, passive harmonic mode locking is one of the main techniques for generating ultrashort pulses in fiber lasers. The technology is that a saturable absorber is added into a laser resonant cavity, and ultrashort pulses are realized by utilizing the nonlinear absorption characteristic of the saturable absorber. Therefore, the core of the passive mode locking technology is to find a stable and reliable saturable absorber.
At present, the saturable absorber commonly used in the passive mode-locked laser mainly has two types, namely an equivalent saturable absorber and a true saturable absorber. Wherein equivalent saturable absorbers mainly include nonlinear polarization rotating and nonlinear amplifying ring mirrors, and at present, the actual commercial saturable absorbers are mainly semiconductor saturable absorbers. However, the nonlinear polarization rotation mode locking device has very high dependence on polarization, is particularly easily influenced by external factors such as optical fiber bending, external temperature, stress and vibration, and has poor stability; the mode locking threshold of the nonlinear amplification annular mirror device is high, and self-starting is difficult; the semiconductor saturable absorption mirror mode locking device has the advantages of complex manufacturing process, higher cost and narrow working wavelength range. Therefore, there is a great need to continuously search for a stable and reliable saturable absorber material, and to explore its application potential in high repetition frequency passive mode-locked fiber lasers.

preferably, the cavity length of the entire laser is about 32.5 m.
The feasibility of the invention was verified by experimental data as follows:
when the pumping power is dozens of mW, the fiber laser can output continuous laser. As the pump power continues to increase, mode-locked pulses begin to occur.
When the pumping power is increased to 60mW, the polarization state of the cavity is changed by properly adjusting the polarization controller, and then stable fundamental frequency mode-locked pulses can be obtained; referring to FIG. 4, the spectrum of the fundamental frequency pulse at the pump power is shown; clearly, there are some clear sidebands on the spectrum.
The central wavelength of the mode locking pulse is 1558.49nm, and the 3dB spectral bandwidth is 1.96 nm; referring to fig. 5, it can be seen that the adjacent pulses are spaced approximately 162.4ns apart, from which a repetition rate of 6.156MHz, the fundamental frequency, can be calculated.
Referring to fig. 6, the repetition frequency of the mode-locked pulse is 6.156MHz, which is consistent with the cavity length of the fiber laser of 32.5m and the measured pulse timing period of 162.4ns, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is about 65.8dB, indicating that the mode-locked pulse state has good stability.
Referring to fig. 7, the full-height-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of the fundamental pulse is about 2.25ps, and the pulse width is about 1.46ps by hyperbolic sect (Sech2) formula fitting. Through calculation, the time-bandwidth product (TBP) of the pulse at the moment is about 0.353, which is larger than the transformation limit of the hyperbolic secant pulse by 0.315, and the output mode-locked pulse has certain chirp.
With the pump power being increased, and the angle of the polarization controller being adjusted appropriately, the fundamental mode-locked pulse is converted into a harmonic mode-locked pulse, as shown in fig. 8, the interval between adjacent pulses is about 0.99ns, and the corresponding calculated repetition frequency is about 1.01 GHz; from a repetition rate of 6.156MHz, it can be seen that the mode-locked pulse at 1.01GHz corresponds to 164 th order harmonic mode locking, see fig. 9, with a center wavelength of 1558.28nm and a 3dB spectral bandwidth of 2.28 nm.
Referring to fig. 10, in order to better show the performance of the harmonic mode-locked fiber laser, the harmonic order and the average output power at different pump powers were measured.
Referring to fig. 10, it is clear that as the pump power increases, both the harmonic order and the output power increase substantially linearly with the pump power. When the pump power is increased from 100mW to 580mW, the harmonic mode locking order is increased from 22 to 164, and the average output power is increased from 3.69mW to 29.04 mW.
These findings are consistent with the typical characteristics of harmonic mode-locked fiber lasers.
