Problems solved by technology

Saturable absorber mode-locking has a simple structure and can be self-mode-locked, but the obtained pulse is easy to split and has high noise, and the saturable absorber cannot withstand high peak power, and long-term mode-locking will also cause damage to the saturable absorber
The mode-locked pulsed laser using nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking technology has poor mode-locking stability due to the nonlinear effect of light and is easily affected by the environment; laser pulse amplification is carried out in the gain medium, resulting in easy pulse splitting and poor modulation. Stability, highly susceptible to high-order nonlinear effects, is not conducive to obtaining very clean compressed pulses, the main peak of the output pulse is usually accompanied by a larger side-lobe pulse; the polarization direction of the amplified laser mode in the gain medium is uncertain, The control of the laser cavity mode is very difficult, and the competition between different polarization modes usually brings additional gain noise, the random jitter of polarization due to environmental interference is difficult to control, and the stability of the output laser pulse is generally difficult to improve, and the corresponding time domain-frequency The domain noise is large, and the phase shift of the carrier envelope of the output pulse is relatively large; limited by the damage threshold of the laser gain medium, the energy of the obtained mode-locked laser pulse is limited; It is lower than usual, and it is easily affected by amplified spontaneous emission continuous light in the gain medium, and the obtained pulse contrast is generally not high
Due to the existence of the above factors, the development of nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locked lasers is restricted

Abstract

The invention discloses a polarization combination nonlinear rotary mode locking method. The method is characterized in that the nonlinear polarization rotary mode locking is adopted, the mode-locking pulse formed in a laser cavity is firstly separated in a pulse polarization manner, then the pulse is separated and broadened, the separated low-peak-value power pulse is magnified by virtue of gain medium, the magnified pulse is returned to be magnified for the second time after being reflected by virtue of a faraday rotator mirror, and finally the pulse is combined to obtain the pulse with high peak value power; the pulse is repeatedly and circularly magnified in the laser cavity, and the obtained laser pulse with high energy is outputted through a coupling output device. By adopting the method, the high-energy mode-locking pulse which is stably outputted can be obtained.
