This application provides an intelligent mode-locked
fiber laser based on
nonlinear polarization interference and its control method, belonging to the field of
fiber laser and
intelligent control technology. The application includes: scanning a
waveplate, setting the angle corresponding to the maximum power as the mechanical zero point, and establishing a correspondence between angle and power; using the mechanical zero point as a reference and the correspondence between angle and power, scanning the
waveplate with a first-step scanning length, marking states that meet the
spectral width condition and exhibit a comb-like structure as mode-locking candidate points; using the mode-locking candidate points as the center, scanning with a second-step scanning length, determining mode-locking when the spectral bandwidth reaches a threshold and the power standard deviation is less than a stability threshold, recording the current power standard deviation as the reference fluctuation value, and recording the corresponding angle as the target mode-locked
operating point; monitoring output parameters, calculating the power standard deviation and comparing it with the reference fluctuation value, and triggering a local search to restore mode-locking when the deviation exceeds the allowable range. This application can achieve
automatic tuning of the intracavity polarization state and phase shift.
