Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages are: 1. The spectral interval of the two different reflection peaks (with different polarization states) caused by the inherent large birefringence of the polarization maintaining fiber is relatively small and the adjustment range is small; 2. Due to the narrow bandwidth Polarization-maintaining fiber grating is used as the reflective surface of the laser cavity, so it is difficult to realize passive mode-locking to generate ultra-short laser pulses; 3. This cavity structure is suitable for narrow-linewidth tunable dual-wavelength fiber lasers
The above-mentioned technology adopts the concept of working in the negative dispersion region, and there are solid diffraction grating pairs or photonic bandgap fiber gratings in the cavity for dispersion compensation, etc., which also affects the full-fiber laser cavity and affects the long-term stability of the mode-locked fiber laser. Sex, or the cost of the laser is very expensive to affect its scope of use

Abstract

The invention discloses a totally positive dispersion cavity mode-locked all-fiber laser, which is an environmentally-stable and novel-structured totally optical mode-locked super-short laser pulse laser which works in a totally positive dispersion area, and uses rare earth-mixed optical fibers as a laser gain medium, a polarization beam splitter to split light, a band-pass long-period fiber grafting filter as a mode-locked laser centre wavelength selection and mode-locked laser spectrum filtering optical pulse compression element, and a semiconductor saturable absorber as a mode-locked element and the like to form an optical fiber laser structure with high repetition rate, high power, simple structure and high efficiency. The laser outputs picosecond and femtosecond optical pulse-width polarized laser with a wavelength of 1 mu m which, after being amplified by the high-power optical fiber amplifier, can be used for molecularly systemic pumping-detection ultrafast optical physical experiment or environment monitoring, microwave photonic or biophysical detection, double-wavelength pumping-detection ultrafast optical physical experiment, frequency-combining optical radiation generation, coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy, micromachining and the like.
