Abstract
We demonstrate a mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser (YDFL) that enables fiber high-order mode (HOM) oscillation inside the ring cavity, by using a pair of mode selective couplers (MSCs) as an effective mode converter, the optical fiber HOM is obtained. The central wavelength of MSC is located at 1064 nm, which can achieve 80 nm mode conversion bandwidth and 94% high-order mode purity. A mode-locked pulsed fiber laser with a 3 dB spectral width of 7.4 nm, a pulse repetition frequency of 10.9 MHz, and a radio frequency signal-to-noise ratio of 55 dB is obtained, and the slope efficiency of the output power is 2.3%. These results show that the HOM can be directly oscillated by the cascaded MSCs in the fiber laser and participated in the mode-locking process to obtain a pulsed HOM laser.
