Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, and relates to a fiber laser, in particular to an all-fiber narrow-linewidth fiber laser device and method for optical frequency transmission. Background technique

[0002] Narrow linewidth lasers have extremely low phase noise and excellent coherence length, and have important and extensive applications in scientific research and technology fields: such as optical clocks, high-precision spectroscopy, and time-frequency transfer. In the field of optical fiber time-frequency transmission with the highest transmission accuracy, narrow-linewidth lasers in the communication band are an important guarantee for ultra-long-distance ultra-high-precision optical frequency transmission. With the rapid development of rare earth-doped optical fibers, the linewidth of commercial fiber lasers can reach the order of kHz, but it is still difficult to meet the requirements of ultra-high-precision long-distance fre...
