Embodiment Construction

[0013] like figure 1 As shown, a kind of double-clad thulium-doped all-fiber ultrafast laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking has a pumping source 1 and a fiber ring resonator; Thulium-doped optical fiber 3, isolator 4, first polarization controller 5, optical coupler 6, polarizer 7 and second polarization controller 8 are sequentially connected through single-mode passive optical fiber; The pump light input port injects the pump light into the fiber ring resonant cavity, and the output port of the optical coupler 6 outputs the optical soliton pulse generated by intracavity oscillation.

[0014] The pump source 1 uses a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 793 nm, and the mark A is the pump light input, and B is the output of the optical soliton pulse.

[0015] The beam combiner 2 is a 793 / 2000 nm signal / pump optical beam combiner, wherein marks 2a, 2b and 2c are respectively the pump end, signal end and output end of the wavelength division multiplex...

Abstract

The invention discloses a double-cladding thulium-doped all-fiber ultrafast laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode locking and relates to a laser. By single-mode passive optical fibers, a beam combiner, a double-cladding thulium-doped fiber, an isolator, a polarized controller, an optical coupler and a polarizer are sequentially connected to form an annular optical-fiber resonance cavity, a pumping source injects pumping light into the annular optical-fiber resonance cavity through a pumping light input port of the beam combiner, and resonance is made in an output cavity of the output end of an optical coupler to generate soliton laser pulse. By adjustment of the polarized controller, double refraction in the cavity is changed to realize optical soliton pulse output, pulse width is 1.6 ps, pulse energy is 80 pj, pulse repetition frequency is 15MHz, 3dB band width is 4.45 nm, and the central wavelength is 2042 nm. In a 2-micrometer all-fiber laser, output of optical soliton pulse is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser, in particular to a double-clad thulium-doped all-fiber ultrafast laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking. Background technique [0002] Optical soliton refers to the wave packet that remains unchanged due to the balance between nonlinear effects and linear effects during medium transmission. Previously reported soliton fiber lasers are very sensitive to environmental changes due to the inclusion of free-space optical elements, and the use of an all-fiber structure overcomes this shortcoming. ([1] 8. L. E. Nelson, E. P. Ippen, and H. A. Haus, “Broadly tunable sub-500 fs pulses from an additive-pulse mode-locked thulium-doped fiber ring laser,” Appl. Phys. Lett. 67(1) , 19–21 (1995).). Using a double-clad gain fiber, a semiconductor laser can be used instead of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) as a pump source, which simplifies the cavity design and improves the light-to-light conversion effic...
