Abstract

The invention discloses a tunable short-pulse laser amplifier based on mode-locking autocorrelation. Pumping is performed based on a specific gain switching characteristic of a laser operation material by utilizing a Q-switched quasi-continuous laser beam; based on a self-focusing nonlinear characteristic of an operation material of a kerr medium, self mode-locking oscillation is realized; a tunable property and dispersion compensation of optical wavelengths are realized by a first prism and a double-refraction interference filter; the pulse width of a light beam of specific wavelength of a tuning laser is expanded through a pulse width expander; the light beam, expanded by the pulse width expander, is subjected to proper linewidth expansion through a phase modulator; the laser beam, expanded by the phase modulator, is subjected to power amplification through an external regenerative amplifier; the laser beam with amplified power is subjected to pulse width compression through a pulse compressor; and after the light beam is oscillated in a hollow cavity self-mode-locking system, the light beam emits from a sixth concave spherical mirror. By adoption of the tunable short-pulse laser amplifier, the problems of not high single-stage power amplifying times and impossibility of realizing tuning of laser wavelengths are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lasers, in particular to a tunable short-pulse laser amplifier based on mode-locked autocorrelation. Background technique [0002] Tunable lasers can be used as key components in optical communication systems. The output wavelength of the tunable laser is adjustable and has strong versatility. It can replace the distributed feedback laser with a fixed wavelength, and it can be adjusted to the working wavelength when used. Therefore, only a small number of tunable lasers are required to provide laser light sources in different working environments, equipment management is simplified, and utilization efficiency is improved. In addition, for the realization of optical pulse compression, power amplification, etc., the pulsed light output by the laser can be tuned. [0003] The breadth of wavelength tuning and the level of output power of tunable lasers are very important in practical applications, and they are also i...
