The invention provides a mode-locked
fiber laser and a pulse
laser generation method, and belongs to the field of a
fiber laser. The mode-locked
fiber laser comprises a pumped source and a mode-locked laser
resonator, and the mode-locked laser
resonator comprises a reflection part, a
gain fiber, a polarization-maintaining filter and a
saturable absorption mirror which are successively coupled, wherein the
saturable absorption mirror is used for
mode locking. Pump light emitted by the pumped source penetrates into the
gain fiber to generate
signal light, the
signal light penetrates into the
saturable absorption mirror after being processed into
signal light in a preset polarization direction and within a preset
wavelength scope by the polarization-maintaining filter and returns to the polarization-maintaining filter after
mode locking of the saturable absorption mirror, the
signal light returning to the polarization-maintaining filter re-penetrates into the
gain fiber and is input to the reflection part after being amplified by the gain fiber, and the portion, which meets the transmission condition of the reflection part, in the
signal light amplified by the gain fiber is output. Compared to a conventional mode-locked
fiber laser, the mode-locked
fiber laser provided by the invention is simple in structure and high in stability and reliability, thereby facilitating
engineering application.
