The invention relates to the technical field of lasers, and discloses a self-starting 9-shaped cavity
optical fiber laser with an adjustable
feedback loop and a using method, the self-starting 9-shaped cavity
optical fiber laser comprises a non-
linear amplification annular mirror and a linear arm, and a third coupler is arranged between the non-
linear amplification annular mirror and the linear arm; the nonlinear amplification loop mirror comprises a
gain optical fiber, a polarization-maintaining
wavelength division
multiplexer and a phase shifter, the
gain optical
fiber, the polarization-maintaining
wavelength division
multiplexer and the phase shifter are sequentially connected in a closed mode, and the polarization-maintaining
wavelength division
multiplexer is connected with the pumping source; the feedback unit is arranged on the nonlinear amplification loop mirror, the two ends of the feedback unit are communicated with the
gain optical
fiber and the polarization-maintaining wavelength division multiplexer respectively, and light output by the rear end of the gain optical
fiber is fed back to the gain optical fiber through the feedback unit to form a
feedback loop. By constructing a closed-loop
feedback loop, the
noise energy in the cavity is enhanced, the
mode locking threshold and the starting time are reduced, the gain fiber amplification gain is dynamically adjusted, the
nonlinear phase shift accumulation is stably controlled, an external
complex system is avoided, and the all-fiber low-cost efficient design is realized.
