Patent attributes
The present invention discloses a transverse mode switchable all-fiber high-order mode Brillouin laser. The laser comprises a narrow linewidth pump laser, an optical amplifier, a 1×N optical switch (N≥2), a fiber mode selection coupler group, a first polarization controller, a fiber circulator, a fiber coupler, a second polarization controller, and a few-mode fiber. Based on the Brillouin nonlinear gain of a few-mode fiber in a ring cavity, the present invention realizes the resonance amplification of a specific order transverse mode in the cavity, and obtains the transverse mode switchable high-order mode laser beam output. The present invention, adopting an all-fiber structure, has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easy fiber system integration, high stability and narrow linewidth of outputted laser beams, etc., and improves the practicality and reliability of high-order mode lasers.
