Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrafast fiber lasers and automatic control technology, and in particular to an intelligent harmonic mode-locking method and system based on deep learning-guided adaptive search. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber lasers, due to their small size, low cost, excellent heat dissipation, and high energy conversion efficiency, have become an important platform in the field of ultrafast photonics. They play a crucial role in numerous fields such as thermal imaging, spectral analysis, optical communication, precision sensing, biomedicine, materials processing, environmental monitoring, and military detection, and are particularly suitable for applications requiring extremely high temporal resolution and control precision. Through mode-locking technology, fiber lasers can output ultrashort pulses in the picosecond to femtosecond range, significantly expanding their functional boundaries in high-performance applications.

[0003] Mode-locking methods mainly include active mode-locking, passive mode-locking, and hybrid mode-locking. Among them, passive mode-locking technology based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) has become a key research focus due to its advantages such as simple structure, narrow output pulse width, and wide and flat spectrum. However, such lasers are highly sensitive to intracavity polarization state and pump power, and are easily affected by environmental disturbances, device drift, and aging, resulting in significant uncertainty in their output state. Especially in high-harmonic mode-locking states, lasers have higher requirements for parameter matching conditions, often facing problems such as difficulty in automatic acquisition, short stability maintenance time, and difficulty in rapid recovery after mode lock loss. Traditional methods relying on manual polarizer adjustment are not only inefficient but also fail to meet the requirements of rapid mode-locking and long-term stability. While some existing automatic mode-locking schemes have improved in response speed, most schemes are still mainly aimed at the fundamental frequency mode-locking process, and dedicated technical solutions for the identification, determination, automatic search, and recovery from mode lock loss in high-harmonic modes are still relatively lacking. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fully automated, highly responsive, and intelligent mode-locking control system capable of achieving the target harmonic mode-locking state, in order to further improve the practical performance and robustness of ultrafast fiber lasers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an intelligent harmonic mode-locking method and system based on deep learning-guided adaptive search, so as to solve the problems in passive mode-locked fiber lasers where polarization control parameters and pump power adjustment rely on manual experience, the degree of automation is insufficient, and the high-order harmonic mode-locking state is difficult to establish and maintain quickly and stably.

This invention effectively solves the problems of traditional methods, such as reliance on manual labor, low efficiency, and difficulty in rapidly establishing and maintaining stable harmonic mode-locking, significantly improving the automation, stability, and practicality of laser systems.

[0074] This invention provides an intelligent harmonic mode-locking method based on deep learning-guided adaptive search, achieving fully automated identification of the spectral state of fiber lasers and rapid high-repetition-rate (HRNR) harmonic mode-locking. This method accurately determines the current spectral state and generates corresponding control parameters using an optimization algorithm. These parameters then drive the electrically controlled polarization controller and pump system to perform real-time adjustments, completing HNR harmonic mode-locking and significantly improving the automation and response speed of harmonic mode-locked laser state control.

[0076] The current operating state of the laser is identified based on the collected spectral signals to distinguish between continuous light state, Q-switched mode-locked state, and fundamental frequency mode-locked state.

[0077] When the laser is currently operating in continuous light mode or Q-switched mode-locked mode, the polarization control parameters and pump power are searched and adjusted, and the adjusted polarization control parameters and pump power are applied back to the passively mode-locked fiber laser. Then, the process is repeated for monitoring and identification.

[0078] When the laser is currently operating in the fundamental frequency mode-locked state, the time domain signal and radio frequency signal are jointly judged to determine whether the target harmonic mode-locked state has been reached.

[0089] When the output result is a baseband mode-locked state, a baseband mode-locked success signal is output.

[0090] Preferably, the laser state recognition model employs a residual neural network.

[0100] When the current repetition frequency Repetition frequency in mode-locked state with fundamental frequency Satisfying integer multiple relationships and relative jitter Less than the preset threshold And the number of consecutive detections exceeds a preset threshold. When the target harmonic mode-locking state is reached, a harmonic mode-locking success signal is output, along with the mode-locking result, corresponding polarization control parameters, and pump power.
