基于金属/介质混合反射镜的高调制深度半导体可饱和吸收镜锁模的飞秒光纤激光器

介绍了一种新型半导体可饱和吸收镜(SESAM)的原理与特性,并用它来实现掺铒光纤激光器的锁模飞秒脉冲的生成.这种新型宽带SESAM调制深度可以达到20%,用在1.5μm波段的环形腔掺铒光纤激光器里,实现自启动锁模.锁模光谱以1559 nm为中心,半峰全宽为9 nm,锁模激光脉冲串重复频率为25.6 MHz,输出功率14 mW,自相关仪测得脉宽为170 fs.     

Simulation of Femtosecond Pulse Propagation through Hollow Fibre Filled with Noble Gases of Gradient Temperature

We propose a novel technique for generating intense few to mono-cycle femtosecond pulses. The simulation demonstrate that for the temperature difference of 300K, the spectrum of the output pulses is increased by 67% and the transform limited pulse width is reduced almost by half, compared with those obtained with hollow fibres in uniform temperature.
