Abstract
In order to obtain a narrow pulse width and higher peak power laser output, a Yb-doped femtosecond fiber laser system is reported based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking principle and chirped-pulse amplification, using an acousto-optic modulator to reduce the repetition frequency. Using the grating and collimator in the oscillator, the center wavelength and spectral width of the output pulse can be adjusted simultaneously. The system finally demonstrates a pulsed laser output of 2.2 W average power at a repetition rate of 1 MHz, corresponding to the pulse duration of 218 fs. The peak power is up to 10 MW, which has a good application prospect in the field of high-precision micromachining.
