      文献研究内容优缺点
      [11]利用SESAM实现了2 h稳定的耗散孤子输出,光谱的−10 dB带宽为10 nm。全保偏结构,但光谱宽度较窄,难以保证工作寿命。
      [12]使用液晶空间光调制器对输出的光谱进行调制,使光谱宽度从7 nm 提高到9.5 nm。引入空间光调制器,使得系统复杂,成本高。
      [14]利用NPE锁模原理实现了重复频率为163 MHz,光谱宽度为 30 nm的激光输出。光谱较宽,但由于采用非保偏光纤, 降低了其稳定性和可靠性。
      [18]采用NALM技术实现了中心波长为1 030 nm,重复频率为10 MHz, 光谱宽度为20.6 nm的脉冲输出。采用了全保偏光纤,具有较高的环境稳定性, 但自启动困难。
      [19]基于NALM锁模原理搭建的全保偏“8”字腔激光器实现了中心波长为1 035 nm,重复频率为6 MHz,光谱宽度为31 nm的脉冲输出,压缩后脉宽最窄至 93 fs。目前为全保偏 NALM 激光器中获得的最宽光谱和最窄压缩脉冲宽度。
      [20]通过在“9”字腔激光器中引入集成器件,实现了重复频率为140 MHz, 中心波长为1036 nm,光谱宽度为20 nm的脉冲输出,压缩后脉冲宽度为190 fs。具有较高的重复频率,但没有采用全保偏光纤结构,且为空间输出,不利于后续放大。
      本文基于“9”字腔的光纤激光器,中心波长为1025 nm,两输出口的光谱半高全宽为22.6 nm和26.2 nm,压缩后脉冲宽度达到143 fs和128 fs,RMS仅为0.1%。激光器可以同时兼顾自启动与宽光谱,具有相对较宽的光谱和较窄的脉宽,同时具有长期工作稳定性。
