The invention discloses an active and passive
mode locking combined
femtosecond disc
laser, and belongs to the field of disc
laser. The
femtosecond disc
laser comprises a pumping source, a pumping cavity, a disc laser
crystal and a
resonant cavity, pumping laser emitted by the pumping source is reflected for multiple times in the pumping cavity and passes through the disc laser
crystal for multiple times to generate oscillation laser; the
resonant cavity comprises a first
branch and a second
branch, the first
branch comprises a dispersion mirror group, a hard diaphragm and an output mirror which are sequentially arranged along a light path, and the second branch comprises a first concave mirror, a second concave mirror, a first high-reflection mirror, a third concave mirror, an acousto-optic modulator and a second high-reflection mirror which are sequentially arranged along the light path; the acousto-optic modulator is located at the focal point of the third concave mirror, and modulates periodic loss and starts passive
mode locking in the
active mode locking process; oscillation laser generates a
femtosecond laser
pulse sequence after passing through the acousto-optic modulator, the femtosecond laser
pulse sequence is reflected to return to the disc laser
crystal along the original path and enters the first branch, and the femtosecond laser
pulse sequence is output through the output mirror.
