Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, these sub-cavity modes become losses in the fiber femtosecond laser, which increases the mode-locking threshold of the femtosecond laser and reduces the stability of the laser during mode-locked operation; The cavity mode is incoherent, which also reduces the coherence and peak power of the laser output femtosecond pulse

Abstract

The invention provides an optical fiber femtosecond laser mode locking device based on a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The air gap between the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror in thefiber laser and the end face of the ferrule of the ferrule-type fiber connector is filled with the refractive index matching liquid, so that the problem that the operation of the laser is interfereddue to the fact that the air gap forms a sub-cavity is solved, and the mode locking stability of the fiber femtosecond laser is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultrafast lasers, and relates to a mode-locking device for an optical fiber femtosecond laser. Background technique [0002] Ultrashort pulse lasers with high power, high energy and high beam quality play an important role in many application fields. In particular, for laser processing of materials, the processing effects brought by different pulse widths are quite different. Generally, the narrower the pulse width of the laser pulse used for material processing, the higher the fineness of processing. In lasers that output ultrashort pulses, femtosecond (fs, 10 -15 s) The pulsed femtosecond laser is an excellent tool for ultra-fine processing of materials. In addition, in industrial applications, another requirement for ultrashort pulse laser systems for material processing is high stability, which is suitable for high-intensity continuous operations and complex production environments. From this pers...
