This invention discloses a tunable
saddle-shaped spectrum generation device and method, belonging to the field of precision
machining. It includes: a pump source, a
resonant cavity with overall positive dispersion, a mode-locking device, a dispersion management device, and a spectral adjustment component. The pump source excites a
gain fiber to generate
laser light. The mode-locking device outputs a mode-locked pulse, and the dispersion management device provides positive dispersion. Working in conjunction with the nonlinear effect of self-
phase modulation within the cavity, the mode-locked
pulse spectrum is directly shaped into a
saddle-shaped spectrum with a central depression. The spectral adjustment component achieves flexible tuning of the center
wavelength and bandwidth of the output spectrum by adjusting the relative positions of the
diffraction grating and the
fiber collimator. This invention actively generates a tunable
saddle-shaped spectrum from the source, eliminating the need for complex modulation elements in the amplification link. It allows for precise pre-compensation of the
gain characteristics of subsequent amplifiers, effectively suppressing
gain narrowing effects. It has the advantages of compact structure, low cost, high stability, and
high energy utilization.
