Embodiment 1

[0031] This example presents a passively mode-locked fiber laser based on a "graded-index fiber saturable absorber" fiber device. refer to figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of the mode-locked fiber laser of the present invention. The pump source 1 introduces the pump laser light into the erbium-doped fiber 3 through the wavelength division multiplexer 2, and after the pump light is amplified by the erbium-doped fiber 3, it forms oscillation in the ring cavity to generate laser light. The pigtails of all components in the cavity are ordinary single-mode fibers with a working center wavelength of 1550nm. The central wavelength of the pump source is 976nm, the core diameter of the gain fiber is 9μm, the absorption coefficient of the pump light is 55dB / m@1532nm, and the length of the gain fiber is 2.5m. The working center wavelength of the polarization-independent isolator 4 is 1550nm, and its function is to ensure the one-way transmission of the laser, and the is...

Abstract

The invention discloses a passive mode-locking fiber laser based on a graded-refractive index multimode fiber saturable absorber, and relates to the field of fiber lasers. The passive mode-locking fiber laser adopts a ring cavity structure, and includes a semiconductor pumping source, and a wavelength division multiplexer, an erbium-doped fiber, a polarization-independent isolator, a graded-refractive index fiber saturable absorber device, and an output coupler which are successively form a beam loop. The graded-refractive index fiber saturable absorber device functions as a saturable absorberon the basis of the nonlinear multimode interference effect in the graded-refractive index fiber, and is composed of a two single-mode fibers intermediately fused with a graded-refractive index multimode fiber. Two ends of the saturable absorber device are fixed on a movable fiber clamp for changing the length of the fiber. The fiber laser realizes the full fiberization of mode-locking lasers, has the advantages of simple structure and high damage threshold, and greatly improves the stability and practicability of the mode-locking lasers.
