Problems solved by technology

At present, foreign research groups have realized kilowatt-level continuous thulium-doped fiber lasers in the 2.0-micron band, and several domestic units have carried out research on thulium-doped fiber lasers in the 2.0-micron band, but most of the research work has focused on Research on continuous thulium-doped fiber laser with traditional spatial structure, the complex structure of the laser system and poor environmental stability limit its wide application in some fields
However, there has not been any report on the research of passively mode-locked ultrashort pulse thulium-doped or thulium-holmium co-doped fiber lasers with all-fiber structure and high pulse energy output.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a 2.0 micron band passive mode-locked ultrashort pulse all-fiber laser, which belongs to the field of laser technology and nonlinear optics. Background technique [0002] Thulium-doped or thulium-holmium co-doped fiber lasers can emit laser light in the 2.0 micron band, and can also achieve wide tuning of the spectral range in the 1.7-2.1 micron band. In addition, laser output in other bands can also be achieved through up-conversion. Since the laser output in the 2.0 micron band is within the safe range of human eyes, and water molecules have strong mid-infrared absorption peaks, thulium-doped or thulium-holmium co-doped fiber lasers in the 2.0 micron band are widely used in eye safety, laser surgery, laser Radar, ultrafast optics and other fields have important application prospects. In addition, the 2.5-5.0 micron and 8.0-12.0 micron bands are two windows in atmospheric transmission. Lasers in this band are extremely import...
