This invention provides a method for controlling ASE (Alternating Escalation) in a
laser amplifier, comprising the following steps: configuring a controllable
resonant cavity sharing the
gain medium with the
laser amplifier; and modulating the loss of the controllable
resonant cavity to allow the
gain medium to store and amplify the
signal light during the
signal light incident phase, and to rapidly release the remaining energy at the end of the
signal light phase, so that the
gain is below the ASE generation threshold, thereby suppressing ASE generation at its source. This invention actively regulates the energy state of the gain medium, releasing excess
stored energy before ASE generation, ensuring the gain remains below the ASE generation threshold, thus eradicating ASE at its generation mechanism. Compared to the traditional passive attenuation method after ASE generation, this method eliminates
signal light loss, provides more thorough suppression, and offers a faster response, making it suitable for various
pulsed laser amplifier systems. Furthermore, the controllable
resonant cavity shares the same gain medium with the
laser amplifier, eliminating the need for additional gain modules, resulting in a simpler
optical path, higher integration, and significantly reduced
system complexity and hardware costs.
