It has been found that there are a variety of operating states in lasers, such as mode locking, Q-switching mode locking, continuous wave and harmonic mode locking, and the like. In various operating states, the Q-switched mode-locked pulse is characterized by the mode-locked pulse having a long-period Q-switched envelope. The Q-switched mode locking has unique value in the aspect of mechanism research of an optical fiber laser because the Q-switched mode locking has the characteristics of two operation states of Q-switched and mode locking. In addition, the Q-switched mode-locked pulse has potential application value in micromachining, nonlinear optics, surgical medicine, multiphoton microscopy and the like, and is therefore widely focused and studied.
At present, there are many technical schemes in fiber lasers for realizing Q-switching mode locking, for example, based on nonlinear polarization rotation technology, nonlinear amplification environment, semiconductor saturable absorber and the like, but the technology for generating Q-switching mode locking mainly aims at the traditional single-wavelength Q-switching mode locking pulse. In the aspect of wavelength tunability, the central wavelength of the generated pulse can be tuned in a very wide spectral range, so that the method can be applied to the field of dense wavelength division multiplexing of optical communication, can be also applied to the field of optical signal processing and wavelength conversion, can also be used as a light source for high-speed optical switching, and has very wide application prospect.

The conception, specific structure, and technical effects produced by the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and the drawings to fully understand the objects, features, and effects of the present application. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments, and that other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of the present application based on the embodiments of the present application. In addition, all coupling/connection relationships mentioned herein do not refer to direct connection of the components, but rather, refer to the fact that a more optimal coupling structure may be formed by adding or subtracting coupling aids depending on the particular implementation. The technical features in the application can be interactively combined on the premise of no contradiction and conflict.
Example 1, referring to fig. 1, a single wavelength tunable, Q-mode locked pulse laser, comprising: a pump light source 4, a unidirectional operation ring 1, a bidirectional ring 2; the unidirectional operation ring 1 includes: the first polarization controller 13, the polarization independent isolator 12 and the output coupler 11 are connected in series through optical fibers in sequence to form a ring shape; the polarization independent isolator 12 can conduct incident light in a specific direction, so that unidirectional conduction is realized.
The bi-directional ring 2 comprises: the wavelength division multiplexer 23, the erbium-doped gain fiber 24, the second polarization controller 21 and the single-mode fiber 22, wherein the second polarization controller 21, the single-mode fiber 22, the wavelength division multiplexer 23 and the erbium-doped gain fiber 24 are connected in series through the optical fibers to form a ring; two ends of the unidirectional operation ring 1 are respectively connected with one side port of the 2X 2 optical fiber coupler 3, and two ends of the bidirectional ring 2 are respectively connected with the other side port of the 2X 2 optical fiber coupler 3. Optimally, the group velocity dispersion parameter of the erbium-doped gain fiber 24 is-15 ps/nm/km, the group velocity dispersion parameter of the single-mode fiber 22 is about 17ps/nm/km, the length of the erbium-doped gain fiber 24 is 1.8m, and the length of the single-mode fiber 22 is 30m. The wavelength of the output light of the pump light source 4 is 980nm.
In this embodiment, the wavelength division multiplexer 23 is an optical wave multiplexing of 980nm and 1550nm, that is, the wavelength division multiplexer 23 is provided with a 980nm optical wave input end and a 1550nm optical wave input end, wherein the 980nm optical wave input end is connected with the output end of the pump light source 4, and the output light of the pump light source 4 enters the bidirectional ring 2 through the wavelength division multiplexer 23.
Referring to fig. 2, when the present laser is operated, 980nm light emitted from the pump light source 4 enters the erbium-doped gain fiber 24 through the wavelength division multiplexer 23 to generate 1550nm laser, the 1550nm laser emits equally-divided laser light at two ends of the unidirectional operation ring 1 through the 2 x 2 fiber coupler 3, the laser light is transmitted clockwise in the unidirectional operation ring 1 due to isolation of the polarization independent isolator 12, as shown by an arrow in fig. 2, the clockwise rotated laser light enters the 2 x 2 fiber coupler 3 from one side port of the 2 x 2 fiber coupler 3, and enters the bidirectional ring 2 from the other side port of the 2×2 fiber coupler 3, at this time, the laser entering the bidirectional ring 2 is respectively transmitted in two directions of clockwise and anticlockwise of the bidirectional ring 2, and the two beams of light accumulate nonlinear phase shift through the loop of the bidirectional ring 2, and meanwhile, the laser is positively fed back and then converged into the 2×2 coupler 3 to interfere due to the single-mode fiber 22 and the erbium-doped gain fiber 24, and is output from the output end of the output coupler 11.
The laser utilizes a unidirectional operation ring 1 and a bidirectional ring 2 to form an 8-shaped laser cavity, two beams of light transmitted along opposite directions are transmitted once in the bidirectional ring 2 to obtain different nonlinear phase shifts, and the nonlinear phase shifts can change along the time domain contour of a pulse. The parameters of the laser cavity are properly adjusted by the first polarization controller 13 and the second polarization controller 21, namely Q-switching and tuning respectively, so that the phase difference of the light intensity at the center of the pulse is close to pi, the transmissivity is close to 100%, and the two wing parts of the pulse are transmitted, and the transmissivity is small due to smaller phase shift obtained by lower power, so that the two wing parts are reflected. The pulses output from within the bi-directional ring 2 are therefore narrower than the pulses input, similar to the function of a real saturable absorber. By properly adjusting the second polarization controller 21, the bidirectional ring 2 can be used as a wavelength selector to realize single-wavelength tuning, and stable single-wavelength tunable Q-mode locking pulse sequence output is obtained.
While the preferred embodiment of the present application has been described in detail, the application is not limited to the embodiments, and various equivalent modifications and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application, and these modifications and substitutions are intended to be included in the scope of the present application as defined in the appended claims.
