Abstract

High-power ultrafast fiber lasers are essential tools for a wide range of advanced applications. We report in this paper a GHz-rate, Watt-level all-fiber master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) femtosecond laser system, seeded by an optoacoustically mode-locked soliton fiber laser. We show both in experiments and numerical simulations that the ubiquitous Kelly sidebands could lead to detrimental splitting of laser pulses at the compression stage through causing some distortions of the seed pulse envelope, and the use of an apodization filter can highly mitigate this impact of Kelly sidebands, resulting in improved output-pulse quality of the MOPA system. The system can deliver ultrafast pulses at 2.56-W average power and 1.879-GHz repetition rate, each pulse being of ∼97-fs duration and 1.4-nJ energy. This work provides an effective spectral engineering strategy for MOPA systems seeded by soliton fiber lasers.

基于光声锁模孤子光纤激光器的千兆赫瓦特级飞秒全光纤MOPA系统

高功率超快光纤激光器是广泛的先进应用必不可少的工具。本文报道了一种以光声锁模孤子光纤激光器为种子的ghz速率、瓦级全光纤主振功率放大器飞秒激光系统。我们在实验和数值模拟中都表明，无处不在的凯利边带会通过引起种子脉冲包络的一些扭曲而导致激光脉冲在压缩阶段的有害分裂，而使用apodization滤波器可以高度减轻凯利边带的影响，从而提高MOPA系统的输出脉冲质量。该系统可以提供平均功率为2.56 w、重复频率为1.879 ghz的超快脉冲，每个脉冲的持续时间为~ 97 fs，能量为1.4 nj。这项工作为孤子光纤激光器播种MOPA系统提供了一种有效的光谱工程策略。
