摘　　要：讨论了自启动被动锁模掺Yb3+光纤环形激光器产生短脉冲的机理,并研制出全光纤结构超短脉冲掺Yb3+光纤环形激光器.采用两个976nm半导体激光器级联抽运作为抽运源,高掺杂浓度掺Yb3+光纤作为增益介质,利用光纤的非线性偏振旋转效应,得到自启动、十分稳定的ps量级锁模光脉冲.激光器锁模阈值功率260mW,输出功率25mW,锁模光脉冲中心波长1056nm,3dB带宽11·7nm,重复频率20MHz.与其他结构光纤激光器相比,这种全光纤结构具有更高的效率和更好的稳定性.Theory of the self-starting passive mode-locked Yb3 ＋ -doped fiber ring laser generating short pulses is presented. The ultrashort pulse Yb^3＋ -doped fiber ring laser with all-fiber structure has been designed and turned out. Two 976nm LD pumped lasers are used as the pump sources and high concentration Yb^3＋ -doped fiber is adopted as gain medium. Using the nonlinear polarization rotation （NPR） effect of the fiber, self-starting stable mode-locked pulse is obtained. The mode-locked threshold power of the laser is 260roW and the output power is 25mW. The center wavelength of the mode-locked pulse is 1056nm with 3dB bandwidth of 11.7nm at repetition rate of 20MHz. Comparing with the other structures of the fiber lasers, the structure we adopted is more efficient and has better stability.
