Abstract:
To obtain high-purity cylindrical vector beam pulses,a wavelength-switchable passive mode-locked cylindrical vector beams all-fiber laser is proposed and constructed based on a symmetrical two-mode coupler. First,the refractive index matching diameter for the conversion from the fundamental mode to the higher-order mode was obtained based on the principles of fiber optic transmission. The influence ex⁃ erted by the structural parameters of the symmetrical two-mode coupler on mode selection and coupling characteristics was analyzed,employing simulations of mode coupling theory and the beam propagation method. The symmetrical double-mode coupler was fabricated utilizing the fusion tapering method. This method eliminates the complicated pre-taper process commonly employed in traditional mode selection cou⁃ pler production. Finally,a passive mode-locked all-fiber laser,based on the symmetrical two-mode cou⁃ pler,was constructed. This laser showcases a switchable central wavelength of 1 039 nm and 1 068 nm,pulse repetition interval of 113. 8 ns,repetition rate of 8. 78 MHz,pulse durations of 660 ps/656 ps,and maximum output average power of 5. 25 mW/5. 2 mW. In addition,it achieves a mode purity of over 97% for the vector beam output. The conducted experiments validate the feasibility of the symmetrical two-mode coupler and present a viable solution for obtaining high-purity cylindrical vector beams in future applications. © 2023 Chinese Academy of Sciences.
