We experimentally demonstrate the unconventional burst-pulse bundle generation in a linear-cavity ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber laser based on self-mode-locked and double passively-Q-switched technologies. When the pump power is 4421.0 mW, we obtained the burst pulse bundle with proportional pulse qualities. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the burst pulse is 2.2 μs, the time interval between the adjacent burst pulse is 2.4 μs and the energy of a single burst pulse is 0.62 μJ. In addition, the maximum burst-pulse energy is 0.85 μJ at the pump power of 4574.0 mW, the minimum FWHM and time interval are 1.7 and 1.4 μs at the pump power of 5387.0 mW. The formation mechanism of the unconventional burst pulse bundle is also discussed in detail.
