Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive experimental study of multi-stable-state output characteristics in an all-fiber laser with an acoustic-optical modulator (AOM) as the Q-switcher. For the first time, in this structure, the partitioning of the pulsed output characteristics is explored, dividing the operating status of the laser system into four zones. The output characteristics, the application prospects, and the parameter setting rules for working in stable zones are presented. In the second stable zone, a peak power of 4.68 kW with 24 ns was obtained at 10 kHz. This is the narrowest pulse duration achieved with an AOM actively Q-switched all-fiber linear structure. The pulse narrowing is attributed to the rapid release of signal power and pulse tail truncated by AOM shutdown.
