Description

[technical field] [0001] The invention relates to a polarization-stabilized fiber laser cascade amplifier. [Background technique] [0002] Fiber lasers are easily coupled with other instruments and can easily obtain high power, which has attracted extensive attention from academia and industry. Laser light waves in any polarization state can be regarded as composed of two completely orthogonal polarization modes. When it is transmitted through an ideal axisymmetric fiber, the polarization state remains unchanged, but due to the fiber manufacturing process, stress, temperature, etc. Factors, there is a birefringence phenomenon in the fiber, and two orthogonal polarization modes in different directions will undergo mode coupling, which introduces instability in the polarization state of the output light. [0003] Fiber lasers with stable polarization state of the output light have important applications in the fields of fiber optic gyroscopes, fiber optic sensing, nonlinear f...
