An All-Fiber Mode-Locked Pulse Laser by Fiber Bragg Grating-Based Acousto-Optic Frequency Shifter
An all-fiber frequency shifted feedback laser is developed to export mode-locked pulses with a narrow spectral bandwidth (238 MHz). A simple cavity structure is established by employing a fiber Bragg grating-based acousto-optic frequency shifter. An exotic reflection peak in a large spectral separation from the Bragg reflection peak is generated by applying flexural acoustic waves, and is utilized for narrow-band filtering and frequency shifting in the laser cavity. Stable mode-locked pulse output can be obtained with the cavity length as short as 16.5 m, whereas increasing the cavity length can reduce the pump power to 37 mW for mode-locked pulse output. A maximum power conversion efficiency of 17% with an average output power of 103 mW were obtained experimentally at a pump power of 600 mW, with corresponding pulse width, pulse energy and peak power of 2 ns, 88 nJ and 4.5 W, respectively. A time-bandwidth product of mode locked pulses of 0.476 denotes nearly Fourier-transform-limited performance. This work provides a new technique to implement efficient, compact and low-cost all-fiber FSFLs for narrow spectral bandwidth mode-locked pulse output.
