研究目的
To demonstrate an all-fibre visible-wavelength passively mode-locked picosecond laser at 635 nm, addressing the challenge of developing passively mode-locked fibre lasers in the visible region.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a 635 nm all-fibre passively mode-locked laser based on a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror for the first time. The experimental results confirm stable mode-locking operation in the DSR regime, with potential applications in laser material processing and frequency doubling in the ultraviolet wavelength region.
研究不足
The main challenges include the fabrication of low-loss visible gain fibres, the lack of fibre-compatible visible-wavelength saturable absorbers, the immaturity of visible-wavelength fibre components, and the ultralarge normal dispersion of the fibre cavity at visible wavelengths.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a Pr/Yb codoped ZBLAN fibre as the visible gain medium and a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror as the mode-locking element in an all-fibre figure-eight cavity. The formation and evolution of 635 nm mode-locked pulses in the dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) regime are predicted by solving the Ginzburg-Landau equation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experimental setup includes a Pr3+/Yb3+ codoped ZBLAN fibre with specific parameters and an 850 nm laser diode for pumping.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a 635/850 nm wavelength division multiplexer, a Pr3+/Yb3+ codoped ZBLAN fibre, an in-line fibre polarization controller, a 460 HP fibre, a 10:90 output optical coupler, a 635 nm fibre-based optical isolator, and a 50:50 optical coupler.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser cavity is built in a figure-eight configuration, and the output characteristics are measured using an optical spectrum analyser and a high-speed digital storage oscilloscope.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The output optical spectrum and temporal characteristics are analysed to confirm stable mode-locking operation.
