The first wavelength division multiplexer 13 is used for reflecting the pump light, transmitting the pump light to the polarization-maintaining double-cladding gain optical fiber 15, transmitting the laser pulse, oscillating the laser pulse in the resonant cavity, shielding the fast axis beam in the polarization-maintaining optical fiber in the optical fiber ultrafast laser, and enabling the optical fiber ultrafast laser to generate the laser pulse only on the slow axis, so as to form single linear polarization output.

It can be seen that the optical fiber ultrafast laser shown in fig. 1 uses the first semiconductor pump laser 20 as a pump source, uses the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror 11 as a mode-locking device and one mirror of the resonant cavity, and the other mirror of the resonant cavity is formed by a high-reflectivity film on the end face of the optical fiber at the end of the polarization-maintaining double-clad passive optical fiber 12, which is far from the polarization-maintaining double-clad gain optical fiber 15, so that the high reflectivity is helpful for forming a low-loss resonant cavity.
The optical fibers in the optical fiber ultrafast laser are mostly polarization-maintaining double-clad optical fibers, such as a polarization-maintaining double-clad gain optical fiber 15 and a polarization-maintaining double-clad passive optical fiber 12, the refractive index distributions of the polarization-maintaining double-clad gain optical fiber 15 and the polarization-maintaining double-clad passive optical fiber 12 are the same, wherein the polarization-maintaining double-clad gain optical fiber 15 is a gain medium of the optical fiber ultrafast laser, the two polarization-maintaining double-clad optical fibers comprise a fiber core 16, an inner cladding 17 cladding the fiber core 16 and an outer cladding 18 cladding the inner cladding 17, the fiber core 16 is a single-mode waveguide, and only the optical fiber capable of transmitting light running in a fundamental mode (LP 01 ) And mode field distribution is equal to that of the fundamental mode (LP) 01 ) Similarly, the core 16 and the inner cladding 17 form a multimode waveguide capable of transmitting light operating in a given higher order mode (LP 0m ) Of the order of magnitude of the mode field area of up to 10 3 μm 2 Facilitating the generation of high energy laser pulses.
In the embodiment of the invention, the optical fiber ultrafast laser adopts cladding pumping, namely pump light in the polarization-maintaining double-cladding gain optical fiber 15 is transmitted in a multimode waveguide formed by a fiber core 16 and an inner cladding 17.
Since the polarization maintaining double-clad gain fiber 15 and the polarization maintaining double-clad passive fiber 12 have the same refractive index distribution, the mode characteristics (e.g., dispersion, mode field distribution) in the polarization maintaining double-clad gain fiber 15 and the polarization maintaining double-clad passive fiber 12 are the same, and a high quality fusion splice can be formed therebetween, thereby ensuring that either mode in one fiber can be conducted almost nondestructively to the same mode in the other fiber.
In the fiber ultrafast laser, the laser pulse mainly operates in a specified high order mode (LP 0m ) Its mode field area can be up to 10 3 μm 2 Is far greater than the general order of magnitudeThrough the fundamental mode (LP) 01 ) Thereby reducing nonlinear modulation in the spectrum and facilitating the output of high energy laser pulses.
Further, a chirped long-period fiber grating and a predetermined higher order mode (LP 0m ) Introducing dispersion. The dispersion sign (normal dispersion or anomalous dispersion) and the size of the chirped long-period fiber grating are closely related to the chirp function. Higher order modes (LP) 0m ) The dispersion of the waveguide can be flexibly designed, so that normal dispersion or anomalous dispersion with different magnitudes can be formed. According to the specific requirements of the fiber ultrafast laser on dispersion characteristics, a corresponding chirped long-period fiber grating and a high-order mode (LP) 0m ) And the dispersion is regulated and controlled.

Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the first reflective film 19 is a partially reflective film.
The partially reflective film is used for outputting laser pulses partially operating in a specified higher order mode.
The reflectivity of the partially reflective film is determined based on the laser pulse energy required to be output by the fiber ultra-fast laser.
As shown in fig. 2, the optical fiber ultrafast laser further includes:
a collimator 22 located between the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror 11 and the first wavelength division multiplexer 13.
