摘要

构建了纯水作为可饱和吸收体的被动调Q和锁模掺铥光纤激光器. 通过陶瓷套管将纯水固定在两个光纤跳线头之间, 调整水层厚度可以分别实现调Q和锁模操作. 调Q状态下的最大输出功率为0.531 mW, 此时的重复频率为53.45 kHz, 脉冲宽度为3.01 μs. 锁模状态下的最大输出功率为2.28 mW, 重复频率为17.69 MHz, 脉冲宽度为1.42 ps. 本文使用纯水作为可饱和吸收体的被动锁模光纤激光器, 其具有皮秒级的响应时间、低廉的价格和极高的损伤阈值, 可为掺铥全光纤脉冲激光器提供一种新方案.

Abstract

All-fiber laser with short pulses possesses many advantages, such as superior stability, compact structure, and high single pulse energy. Recently, short pulse laser working in a 1.8–2.0 μm spectral region has received considerable attention due to its wide applications in laser spectroscopy, biomedicine, optical communications and sensing. The passive Q-switched and mode-locked operations by saturable absorber (SA) have been considered to be convenient and low-cost ways to achieve short pulses. Recently, pure water has been reported as the ideal SA because of its advantages of high damage threshold, low prices, good thermal diffusivity and stability. In this work, Tm-doped all-fiber pulse laser based on pure water as the SA is demonstrated. The pure water is fixed between two FC/PC fiber patchcord by the ceramic cannula, so we can change the loss of SA easily. The Q-switched and mode-locked operations can be obtained by adjusting the water layer thickness. The maximum output power at Q-switched state is 0.531 mW, the repetition frequency is 53.45 kHz, and the pulse width is 3.01 μs. The maximum output power at mode-locked state is 2.28 mW, the repetition rate is 17.69 MHz, and the pulse width is 1.42 ps. To our knowledge, this is the first passive mode-locked fiber laser using pure water as a saturable absorber, and provides a new scheme for thulium-doped all-fiber pulse lasers.
