Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Disclosed is an all-fiber optical vortex laser based on resonance of orbital angular momentum modes. The all-fiber optical vortex laser has an annular cavity structure, and includes a narrow-linewidth pump laser, an optical amplifier, an orbital angular momentum mode generator, a first polarization controller, an optical fiber circulator, an optical fiber coupler, a second polarization controller and a vortex optical fiber. The orbital angular momentum mode generator (3) realizes directional conversion from a fundamental transverse mode in a single-mode optical fiber into an orbital angular momentum mode with a specific topological charge in a vortex optical fiber. The optical fiber coupler can realize directional coupling from an orbital angular momentum mode in one vortex optical fiber to an orbital angular momentum mode in another vortex optical fiber; the vortex optical fiber is an optical fiber supporting stable transmission of an orbital angular momentum mode.
