  • 实验搭建了一台基于碳纳米管的耗散孤子光纤激光器, 研究了耗散孤子的动态偏振特性. 在160 mW的抽运功率下, 得到了稳定的单脉冲耗散孤子. 通过调整腔内的偏振控制器, 得到了庞加莱球上为固定点形式吸引子的偏振锁定矢量耗散孤子. 单向机械调节腔内偏振控制器可以调控偏振锁定吸引子向极限环吸引子的演化, 且实现极限环区域可控. 对比不同偏振吸引子下的偏振度发现, 偏振度的高低和偏振吸引子覆盖区域面积成反比. 因此, 可以通过偏振度的大小定量地判断吸引子是否为偏振锁定. 该工作对于研究新型偏振可调激光器、探索激光器的物理机制具有指导意义.

     

    In this paper, a dissipative soliton mode-locked fiber laser is established based on carbon nanotube in order to study the polarization dynamics of dissipative soliton by using a commercial polarimeter. Under the pump power of 160 mW, stable dissipatives soliton are observed to have a limited cycle polarization trajectory shown on Poincare sphere, indicating the periodic modulation of anisotropy in cavity. The stable dissipative soliton possesses a high signal noise ratio of 57.7 dB at fundamental frequency. Moreover, the fast oscillation of state of polarization leads to a lower degree of polarization (DOP). In addition, the polarization controllers are employed to compensate for the birefringence in the cavity to adjust the ratio between cavity length and birefringence length. As a result, we can observe the polarization evolving from the polarization locked attractor to the limited cycle attractor by adjusting polarization controllers. It is noted that this dynamic polarization trajectory can be manually controlled. By comparing polarization attractor with DOP, it is clear that the size of trajectory shown on Poincare sphere is inversely proportional to DOP. We expect our work to be conducible to studying the physics in lasers and creating a new type of polarization tunable laser.
