Abstract

The invention relates to a mode-locked fiber laser, comprising a pump source, a wavelength division multiplexer, a doped fiber, an intensity modulator, a phase modulator, an output coupler and an optical isolator connected in sequence, and the wavelength division multiplexer has a The other end is connected to the other end of the optical isolator to form a ring cavity; through adjustment, the voltage function loaded on the intensity modulator is an even function, and the voltage function loaded on the phase modulator is an odd function, so that the intensity modulator and the The phase modulator as a whole forms a parity-time symmetric mode-locking device, which adjusts the intensity and phase at the same time, thereby reducing the mode-locking threshold of the mode-locked fiber laser. The peak and valley values ​​are equal in real time, so that the system is automatically in the state of parity time symmetry or parity time symmetry breaking state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber lasers and parity time symmetric optics, in particular to a parity time symmetry mode-locked fiber laser based on intensity and phase co-modulation. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of short pulse duration, high peak power, wide spectral bandwidth, and good mechanical properties, mode-locked fiber lasers play an important role in the fields of transient optics, optical communication and information processing, optical fiber sensing, medical diagnosis, and material processing. Applications. [0003] In mode-locked lasers, the mode-locked threshold and tunable performance are two important indicators to measure the performance of mode-locked lasers. In the existing mode-locked fiber laser, the loss caused by coupling between fiber devices reduces the effective gain bandwidth, increases the mode-locking threshold of the laser, and reduces the pulse width and spectral tuning range of the laser...
