Problems solved by technology

In order to solve this problem, the previous solutions mostly used polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber or double-clad gain fiber to maintain polarization-stable output, but the production of polarization-maintaining large-mode-field photonic crystal fiber and double-clad gain fiber is difficult and expensive , the use of fusion splicing is not very convenient, the manufacturing or assembly process is more complicated, and other devices in the optical path of the laser amplification system also use polarization-maintaining optical fibers accordingly, which further increases the cost, and the manufacturing process of large-mode polarization-maintaining optical components is also relatively poor. Mature
These factors limit the general application of this method

Abstract

The invention discloses an all-fiber cascade laser amplification method and device with polarization controlled automatically and stably. The device comprises a seed resource, a one-stage or multi-stage pre-amplification structure based on Faraday rotation mirrors and a main amplification structure based on Faraday rotation mirrors. Pulsed light output by the seed source in a polarization-maintaining mode sequentially passes through the one-stage or multi-stage pre-amplification structure based on the Faraday rotation mirrors and the main amplification structure based on the Faraday rotation mirrors. According to the all-fiber cascade laser amplification method and device, on the basis of the effects of the Faraday rotation mirrors and polarization beam splitters, pulse power amplification is achieved by the adoption of an ordinary non-polarization-maintaining optical fiber device, meanwhile fixed linear polarization high-power pulse laser is output, a cascade amplification structure is adopted, pulses are widened under the effect of self-phase modulation, the high-order nonlinear effect is effectively weakened, and the pulse shape is kept good. By adjusting the types, the lengths and the pump light power of all the amplification structures, polarization-maintaining pulse laser output with different parameters such as power and pulse widths can be achieved.
