Abstract

The invention discloses an all-fiber transverse mode switchable high-order mode Brillouin laser. The laser comprises a narrow linewidth pump laser, an optical amplifier, a 1xN optical switch (N is greater than or equal to 2), a fiber mode selection coupler group, a first polarization controller, a fiber circulator, a fiber coupler, a second polarization controller and a few-mode fiber. According to the laser, on the basis of Brillouin nonlinear gain of the few-mode fiber in a ring cavity, resonance amplification of a specific-order transverse mode in the cavity is realized, and the transversemode switchable high-order mode laser output is obtained. According to the laser, an all-fiber structure is employed; the laser has the advantages that the structure is simple, the cost is low, a fiber system is integrated easily, the stability of the output laser is high, and the linewidth is narrow; and the practicability and reliability of the high-order mode laser are improved.
