Abstract

The invention relates to a 2-micrometer waveband all-polarization-maintaining locked-mode ultrafast pulse fiber laser, and belongs to the field of the laser technology and nonlinear optics. The 2-micrometer waveband all-polarization-maintaining locked-mode ultrafast pulse fiber laser mainly comprises a laser pump source, a polarization-maintaining pump combiner, a polarization-maintaining thulium-doped or thulium and holmium co-doped optical fiber, a polarization-maintaining circulator, a polarization-maintaining isolator, a saturable absorption body or saturable absorption mirror, a polarization-maintaining coupler and a polarization-maintaining passive optical fiber. The thulium-doped or holmium-doped or thulium and holmium co-doped optical fiber is used as a gain medium, and the saturable absorption body or the saturable absorption mirror is combined with a 8-shaped resonant cavity to be collectively used as a passive locked-mode device, so that the 2-micrometer waveband, low-power pump, all-polarization-maintaining and mixed locked-mode ultrafast pulse is outputted. By adopting the structure, the all-optical-fiber welding is realized. The 2-micrometer waveband all-polarization-maintaining locked-mode ultrafast pulse fiber laser has the advantages of low pump power, stable locked mode, simple structure and stable and reliable system locked mode, and not only can be used as a laser light source with excellent performance, but also can be used as a signal seed source to be further amplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fiber lasers, in particular to a full polarization-maintaining hybrid mode-locked ultrashort pulse fiber laser in the 2 micron band. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, a fiber laser uses a fiber doped with rare earth elements as a gain medium. By doping with different rare earth elements, the working band of the fiber laser can be covered to the mid-infrared band. Compared with solid-state lasers, fiber lasers have the advantages of small size, low threshold, high efficiency, good beam quality, and no need to adjust the optical path. Among them, the 2-micron fiber laser is within the safe range of human eyes because its output wavelength is close to the absorption peak of hydroxyl H-O, and has important prospects in many fields. [0003] In recent years, high-power pulsed lasers have been widely used in processing, military affairs, and medicine. The average output power of ordinary pulsed ...
