Abstract

The invention discloses a mode-locked fiber laser taking a lead selenide quantum dot as a gain medium. An existing mode-locked fiber laser is limited by the grain medium, only can radiate a certain special wavelength and cannot radiate some special wavelengths, The mode-locked fiber laser comprises a grain fiber, a pumping source, a wavelength division multiplexer and a modulation unit, wherein the grain fiber employs glass fiber doped with the lead selenide quantum dot, the modulation unit employs an acoustic optical modulator or graphene, and the mass percent of the lead selenide quantum dot in the grain fiber accounts for 5.68%. The mode-locked fiber laser is achieved by employing two schemes, wherein a first scheme also comprises a high reflection unit and a low reflection unit, and a second scheme also comprises a pumping isolator and an output coupler. The lead selenide quantum dot is used as the gain medium of the laser, and the mode-locked fiber laser can radiate laser with the special wavelength being 1,700 nanometers by means of the characteristic of dependence of quantum dot irradiation wavelength on size and by combining the advantage of large emission cross section of the lead selenide quantum dot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fiber lasers and ultrashort pulse lasers, and in particular relates to a mode-locked fiber laser with lead selenide quantum dots as a gain medium. Background technique [0002] Ultra-short pulse laser has extremely high peak power and ultra-short pulse duration, and has high application value for material processing, high-sensitivity detection, biomedicine and other fields. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of fiber manufacturing process and the rapid development of mode-locking technology, people have begun to use mode-locked fiber lasers to generate ultrashort pulse lasers with high beam quality. However, the existing mode-locked fiber lasers are limited by their gain media, and can only radiate some specific wavelengths, and are powerless to some special wavelengths. Specifically, the existing mode-locked fiber lasers use rare earth ions as the gain medium, and each rare earth ion can o...
