The present invention relates to the technical field of
fiber lasers, specifically to a preparation method of a spatio-temporal mode-locked
fiber laser based on a saturable absorber. In the preparation process, an InP
quantum dot saturable absorber is used as the absorber, and the specific steps are as follows: preparation of InP
quantum dots; preparation of an InP
quantum dot saturable absorber. The present invention uses a saturable absorber of InP quantum dots with a large modulation depth and a low
saturation intensity to prepare a spatio-temporal mode-locked
fiber laser, which can synchronously lock multiple transverse and longitudinal
modes to generate
picosecond mode-locked pulses. By selecting a multimode
gain fiber, it has a larger mode area, which can reduce the nonlinear effect to meet the growing demand for high-power lasers. Its additional spatial degree of freedom can improve the transmission capacity in
optical communication.
