Abstract

The utility model discloses a gain modulation technology-based Yb fiber-doped laser device of pulse laser seed. The laser device consists of a pulse-modulated laser pumping source, a multimode fiber combiner, a fiber grating pair, an Yb-doped double-wrapping layer fiber, an amplification-stage pumping source, a high-power combiner and a double-wrapping layer Yb-doped fiber for amplifying laser power. Due to a gain modulation technology, the laser pumping source is coupled to the Yb-doped double-wrapping layer gain fiber by the multimode fiber combiner to generate the pulse laser of the fiber grating to the limited wave length. The generated pulse laser is taken as a seed source to be amplified by a first-stage fiber amplifier or a multi-stage fiber amplifier. A laser amplifier pumping source is coupled into the double-wrapping layer Yb-doped fiber with large mode field diameter by the high-power combiner. The recurrence frequency-adjustable high-power pulse laser output can be obtained after the power-stage amplification. The utility model can obtain a novel high-power fiber laser pulse seed which is simple in structure, lower in cost, and good in long-time stability.
