Description

High repetition frequency passive mode-locking fiber laser
Technical field
The utility model relates to optical fiber lasers, especially a kind of to be based on intracavitary full-optical-fiber fabry-perot chamber and satisfy With the high repetition frequency passive mode-locking fiber laser of absorber.
Background technique
Mode locked fiber laser is with the pulse width of its ultra-narrow, the peak power of superelevation in Strong-field physics, accurate measurement, light Learning the fields such as sensing, ranging and Precision Machining has important application.The mode that usual laser obtains mode locking pulse output have with Lower two kinds:
One, active mode locking.In the intracavitary addition intensity of laser resonant cavity or phase-modulator, when the adjacent modulation of modulator Time interval and the laser time that single vibrates in resonant cavity can select pulse and continuous to its in chamber when matching Amplify and narrow, finally obtains the mode locking pulse output of narrow spaces.The shortcomings that the method is since the modulation rate of modulator limits Final pulse width is made, and the presence of modulator can make the overall structure of laser become complicated.{ referring to Haus H A.Mode-locking of lasers[J].IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics,2000,6(6):1173-1185.}
Two, passive mode-locking.Bigger, the bigger absorption of light intensity of the smaller absorption of its light intensity is utilized to intracavitary addition saturable absorber Smaller feature is modulated endovenous laser light intensity, selects light intensity the best part and is amplified simultaneously constantly by stimulated radiation Its front and back edge is pruned, pulsewidth is narrowed, can finally obtain the mode locking pulse output of ultrashort pulsewidth, ultrahigh peak power.Referring to Ippen E P.Principles of passive mode locking[J].Applied Physics B,1994,58(3): 159-170.}
High repetition rate mode-locked lasers optical fiber laser is in ultraprecise spectroscopy, high speed optical communication, material processing, nonlinear optical , microtechnic and astronomical research etc. have huge potential using value.Usually obtain the output of Gao Zhongying mode-locked laser Mode has following several:
One, it in the intracavitary oscillation of laser resonator and is vibrated primary defeated using only one pulse of common mode locked fiber laser Out one time the characteristics of, the chopped pulse time that single vibrates in resonant cavity is by way of reducing cavity length to reducing The time interval of the pulse of adjacent output exports the repetition rate of mode locking pulse to increase.The output mode locking pulse weight of such method Complex frequency is limited the repetition rate for being difficult to obtain 10GHz or more by existing gain fibre length and saturable absorption body length To influence its application in practice.{ referring to Yamashita S, Inoue Y, Hsu K, et al.A 2cm-long fiber Fabry-Perot mode-locked laser incorporating carbon nanotubes[C]// Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics.Optical Society of America,2004: CTuD7.}
Two, in the way of harmonic mode locking.Output pulse recurrence frequency, that is, single order of common mode locked fiber laser repeats Frequency is determined by refractive index resonant cavity length in its resonant cavity:Wherein υ is output pulse recurrence frequency, and c is light Speed, n are intracavitary medium refraction index, and L is cavity length.And by polarizing control in adjusting cavity in common mode locked fiber laser Device or pump power processed can get the harmonic pulse that repetition rate is single order repetition rate positive integer times and export.Its principle be When pulse polarization state changes or energy increases, single pulse will be unable to keep stablizing, it may appear that pulse division becomes several The case where impulse cluster that a pulse flocks together and the higher hamonic wave lock for being evolved into multiple pulse constant duration distributions in turn The case where mould pulse exports, to increase output pulse recurrence frequency.However this method its harmonic wave the case where occurring, is extremely unstable Fixed, harmonic order is bad to be controlled and needs the time of developing, and is difficult self-starting and is obtained the output of high-order harmonic wave high repetition pulse, thus very Hardly possible is applied in practice.{ referring to Kuang Q, Zhan L, Wang Z, et al.Up to the 1552nd Order Passively Harmonic Mode-Locked Raman Fiber Laser[J].2015.}
Three, in the way of to intracavitary addition spaced transmission peak filter.The output pulse of common mode locked fiber laser Repetition rate is equal to the interval of adjacent longitudinal mode in its output laser pulse spectrum, i.e.,Wherein υ is output pulse Repetition rate, Δ υ are adjacent longitudinal mode spacing in output laser spectrum, and c is the light velocity, and n is intracavitary medium refraction index, and L is resonant cavity Length.So can use the addition spaced transmission peak filter into resonant cavity, when adjacent transmissive is peak-to-peak just whole every being exactly equal to It can realize that the longitudinal mode to starting of oscillation in laser selects when the adjacent longitudinal mode spacing of the output laser spectrum of several times, to increase phase The repetition rate of output pulse is improved to realize in the interval of adjacent longitudinal mode.But the shortcomings that this method is spaced transmission peak filter Structure is complex, and transmission peaks spacing distance matches more difficult with cavity length of the resonator chamber.{ referring to Peccianti M, Pasquazi A,Park Y,et al.Demonstration of a stable ultrafast laser based on a nonlinear microcavity[J].Nature communications,2012,3:765.}
