technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical communication devices, in particular to an active and passive hybrid mode-locked fiber laser with temperature compensation. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the national economy and the arrival of the information age, optical fiber communication technology has penetrated into various communication and information networks. Fiber lasers are ideal light sources for fiber optic communications and have many advantages over traditional solid-state lasers, and have been extensively studied in recent years. Mode-locked fiber lasers in fiber lasers are ideal for pulsed light sources in optical communication systems. [0003] Common structures of mode-locked fiber lasers include active mode-locked and passive mode-locked fiber lasers.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the output laser spectrum of active mode-locked fiber lasers is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to obtain ultra-narrow pulses. Moreover, the cavity length of active mode-locked fiber lasers is generally long, which is easily affected by the outside world, resulting in poor stability.

[0006] Passively mode-locked fiber laser has simple structure, low cost and high reliability. It is a real all-fiber device. Using the nonlinear effect of fiber, it can generate the shortest optical pulse, but its output pulse repetition frequency has poor stability and cannot be adjusted externally.

[0007] To sum up, the current active or passive mode-locked fiber laser systems have their own inherent shortcomings, especially because the existing mode-locked fiber laser systems do not adopt effective automatic control, so that the stability of the output optical pulse is affected by temperature.
