摘要
Owing to their compactness,robustness,low cost,high stability,and difraction-limited beam quality,mode-locked fber lasers play an indispensable role in micro/nanomanufacturing,precision metrology,laser spectroscopy,LiDAR,biomedi-cal imaging,optical communication,and soliton physics.Mode-locked fber lasers are a highly complex nonlinear optical system,and understanding the underlying physical mechanisms or the fexible manipulation of ultrafast laser output is chal-lenging.The traditional research paradigm often relies on known physical models,sophisticated numerical calculations,and exploratory experimental attempts.However,when dealing with several complex issues,these traditional approaches often face limitations and struggles in fnding efective solutions.As an emerging data-driven analysis and processing technology,artifcial intelligence(AI)has brought new insights into the development of mode-locked fber lasers.This review highlights the areas where AI exhibits potential in accelerating the development of mode-locked fber lasers,including nonlinear dynamics prediction,ultrashort pulse characterization,inverse design,and automatic control of mode-locked fber lasers.Furthermore,the challenges and potential future development are discussed.
