Mode-locked laser stabilizing apparatus and method thereof
Abstract:
There is disclosed a mode-locked optical fiber laser stabilizing apparatus for stabilizing the length of the optical fiber laser resonator by feedbacking the optical signals to the laser resonator, in the direction where the signal reflected by the optical fiber loop mirror is detected as an error signal to minimize the signal, and method thereof. According to the present invention, a resonator stabilizing apparatus in an optical fiber laser includes a non-linear optical amplitude loop mirror (NALM) for non-linearly amplifying a laser pumped laser light, a linear loop mirror of a closed loop shape for confining the laser light sufficiently amplified by the non-linear optical amplitude loop mirror; a light isolator for proceeding the light confined by said linear loop mirror only in one direction, an optical coupler for detecting the light proceeding in the direction opposite to the light isolator by the linear loop mirror, the phase of which is varied in the non-linear optical amplitude loop mirror, and a piezo-electric transducer (PZT) for performing a signal processing for minimizing the amount of light proceeding in an opposite direction when the light detector detects the light proceeding in the opposite direction and feedbacking again the light to stabilize the light, the light detector is coupled by the linear loop mirror and the optical coupler.
