Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser technology, and in particular relates to the design of a high-energy rectangular laser pulse generation system and method with an all-fiber structure. Background technique

[0002] High-energy ultrashort pulse fiber lasers have important applications in the fields of communication, sensing, precision machining, material processing, biomedicine, and national defense and military. Generally, mode-locking technology is used to obtain ultra-short pulses (pulse width is on the order of picoseconds or femtoseconds), and mode-locking technology can be mainly divided into two types: active mode-locking and passive mode-locking. Compared with active mode-locking, passive mode-locking technology has become a research hotspot and has important application value because it does not require additional modulators, has the advantages of simple and compact structure, and is easy to realize all-fiber conversion.
