Abstract
A laser device with a ring laser resonator includes a polarization maintaining (PM) fiber, a first quarter waveplate, and an optical isolator. The PM fiber has a light input end and a light output end and is configured to guide a first linearly polarized light with a first phase along a fast axis of the PM fiber from the light input end and a second linearly polarized light with a second phase along a slow axis of the PM fiber from the input end. The first quarter waveplate is disposed at the light output end of the PM fiber and configured to convert the first and the second linearly polarized lights into left-handed and right-handed (or right-handed and left-handed) circularly polarized lights, respectively. The optical isolator is configured to unidirectionally transmit a laser pulse in the ring laser resonator.
