The SRS secondary amplification system 6 is composed of a first dichroic mirror 6-1, a first SRS amplification pool 6-2, a second dichroic mirror 6-3, a second reflecting mirror 6-4, a third reflecting mirror 6-5, a second SRS amplification pool 6-6 and a third dichroic mirror 6-7.
Further, the pump light emitted by the pump source 1 is divided into two beams by the beam splitter 2, the first beam is focused and reflected by the convex lens 4 and the first dichroic mirror 6-1 in the SRS secondary amplification system 6, enters the SRS generation pool 5, generates backward SRS to generate Stokes seed light, and the original path of the Stokes seed light returns to pass through the first dichroic mirror 6-1 and enters the first SRS amplification pool 6-2; the second beam of light is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 3 and the second dichroic mirror 6-3 to encounter the Stokes seed light oppositely for the first amplification and compression; the unconsumed pumping light is reflected by the first dichroic mirror 6-1 and the third dichroic mirror 6-7 to enter the second SRS amplification pool 6-6, the Stokes seed light after the first amplification and compression passes through the second dichroic mirror 6-3 and is transmitted, the second reflecting mirror 6-4 and the third reflecting mirror 6-5 are reflected to enter the second SRS amplification pool 6-6 to meet the unconsumed pumping light in an opposite direction and perform the second amplification and compression, and the ultrashort Stokes seed light after the second amplification and compression passes through the third dichroic mirror 6-7 to be output.
The dichroic mirror is characterized in that: the first dichroic mirror 6-1 reflects the focused pump light to a high degree and enables the focused pump light to enter an SRS generating pool 5 to generate back Raman scattering to generate seed light, the first dichroic mirror 6-1 transmits the seed light to a high degree and enables the seed light to directly enter a first SRS amplifying pool 6-2 to meet with a pump source 1 in an opposite direction, the pump source coming out of the first SRS amplifying pool 6-2 after meeting in the opposite direction is not exhausted, the pump source is acted on a third dichroic mirror after being reflected by the first dichroic mirror 6-1 to further reflect the pump light which is not exhausted to a second SRS amplifying pool 6-6 in the third dichroic mirror to enter the second SRS amplifying pool 6-6, the seed light passes through the second dichroic mirror after being amplified and compressed for the first time and then passes through a second reflecting mirror and a third reflecting mirror to enter the second SRS amplifying pool 6-6, and the seed light in the second SRS amplifying pool 6-6 meets the pump light which is not exhausted in the opposite direction, and the seed light is compressed again and then is output through the third dichroic mirror 6-7 in a high-transmittance mode.
The SRS generating cell 5 generates Stokes seed light, which is low in light energy and wide in pulse width, the Stokes seed light enters the SRS secondary amplification system 6, and is amplified by pump light in the two amplification cells, that is, the pump light meets the other part of split light oppositely, and energy extraction and pulse width compression are performed.
The high-order Stokes light is generated in the Raman generation process, the first-order Stokes light is amplified, the high-order Stokes light cannot enter the first SRS amplification pool 6-2 through the first dichroic mirror 6-1, the influence of the high-order Stokes light on amplification compression can be effectively prevented, the Stokes light generated by the backward Raman generation pool 5 is opposite to the direction of the pump light, and the backward transmission of the backward Raman Stokes light in the SRS generation pool is opposite to the transmission direction of the pump light. Stokes light in the SRS generating pool 5 can meet with the pump light in an opposite direction for one time to realize a pre-compression effect, meanwhile, reverse Stokes seed light passing through the first dichroic mirror 6-1 meets with the second beam of light in an opposite direction, secondary compression is carried out, the energy of the second beam of light is extracted for amplification, the pump light which is not exhausted is subjected to amplification and compression again through the second SRS amplifying pool 6-6, a tertiary compression effect is realized, and the compression efficiency is higher. Therefore, the SRS pulse width compression of the invention has wider gain bandwidth and shorter compression limit, and is more likely to realize the acquisition of picosecond pulses.
Wherein the convex lens 4 is focused at the center of the SRS generating pool 5.
Further, the first dichroic mirror 6-1, the second dichroic mirror 6-3, and the third dichroic mirror 6-7 are highly transmissive to the first-order Stokes seed light and highly reflective to the pump light.

The beam splitting condition of the beam splitter 2 can be selected according to the following method: the beam splitter 2 is placed at an angle of 45 degrees, and the beam is divided into two beams of light with different energy ratios by replacing different beam splitters 2, so that the peak power of the Stokes light generated by the SRS generating pool 5 is equivalent to that of the second beam of light; the Stokes seed light finally output at this time has relatively high energy conversion efficiency. The peak power is obtained by the corresponding energy meter and photodetector.
The wavelength of the single longitudinal mode laser selected by the pumping source 1 is between 200nm and 1500nm, the pulse width is 0.1ns to 10ns, and the light path f' from the focal point incidence position of the SRS generating pool 5 to the focal point is half of the light length corresponding to the pulse width, which can be expressed as:
