Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the problems of complex system, high cost, and poor anti-interference ability in active mode-locked fiber lasers; at the same time, the manufacturing process of semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (SESAM) is difficult and the production cost is high. The material saturable absorber realizes passive mode locking, and the all-fiber design does not require additional modulation devices, which greatly reduces the loss of the resonator and realizes a highly integrated and stable laser system

Abstract

The invention discloses a double-resonant-cavity all-optical-fiber mode-locked pulse laser, and belongs to the field of laser technology, optical fiber optics and nonlinear optics. The double-resonant-cavity all-optical-fiber mode-locked pulse laser mainly comprises a pumping source, an optical fiber beam combiner, a wavelength division multiplexer, a first gain optical fiber, a second gain optical fiber, a saturable absorption body, a reflection type optical fiber Bragg grating, an optical isolator, a circulator, a total reflector, a beam splitter and a filter. A linear cavity structure or an annular cavity structure is adopted. Compared with an SESAM (semiconductor saturable absorber mirror) mode-locked, NPR (nonlinear polarization rotation) and NPE (nonlinear polarization evolution) mode-locked technology, the laser provided by the invention has the advantages that the laser mode-locked pulse can be directly output by using the double resonant cavities and the saturable absorption body, the design is simple, the structure is compact, the cost is reduced, and the system output stability can be effectively improved.
