振幅和相位涨落对锁模脉冲列特性的影响

用傅里叶变换的方法分析了锁模激光器中模式间的相位和振幅涨落对锁模脉冲列特性的影响。将锁模激光器中各模式的相位和振幅涨落作傅里叶展开,再通过增益谱抽样的傅里叶变化得到其时域行为。分析结果表明振幅系统涨落及随机涨落均不引起脉宽的明显变化,只引起脉冲间背景的加大,但相位涨落随机会使脉冲列强度产生波动。所用物理图像简明,结果对获得稳定的锁模脉冲列的实验研究有参考意义。

耗散孤子分裂过程的实时测量研究

色散傅里叶变换技术为研究被动锁模光纤激光器中孤子各种瞬时、复杂、非重复的非线性过程提供了一种强有力的实时测量手段。利用色散傅里叶变换技术研究了基于非线性偏振旋转技术的被动锁模光纤激光器中耗散孤子分裂的整个实时动态过程。研究发现,当泵浦功率为280 mW时耗散孤子发生分裂,耗散孤子分裂前首先由噪声背景脉冲产生单孤子脉冲。与泵浦功率为180 mW时的单孤子锁模状态不同的是,分裂前的单孤子的光谱上有新的光谱成分产生。这个新的频率成分会随着孤子脉冲在谐振腔中循环的圈数不断放大和展宽,并最终演化为一个新的耗散孤子脉冲。本研究对明确被动锁模光纤激光器中耗散孤子的产生和分裂机理有着重要的意义。

Ultralow-jitter and -amplitude-noise semiconductor-based actively mode-locked laser

We report a semiconductor-based, low-noise, 10.24 GHz actively mode-locked laser with 4.65 fs of relative timing jitter and a 0.0365% amplitude fluctuation (1 Hz to 100 MHz) of the optical pulse train. The keys to obtaining this result were the laser's high optical power and the low phase noise of the rf source used to mode lock the laser. The low phase noise of the rf source not only improves the absolute and relative timing jitter of the laser, but also prevents coupling of the rf source phase noise to the pulse amplitude fluctuations by the mode-locked laser.

Characterization of the noise in continuously operating mode-locked lasers

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the fluctuations of the pulses from continuous-wave mode-locked lasers is presented. It is shown that these fluctuations can be detected and quantitatively characterized from measurements of the power spectrum of the light intensity. Such power spectra can be measured with great accuracy by shining the laser output on a suitable photodetector and by processing the detector signal with the use of an electronic spectrum analyzer. Different types of noise such as fluctuations of the pulse energy, pulse repetition time, and pulse duration, can be readily recognized from their characteristic spectral signature. Experimental results of noise measurements are presented for a synchronously mode-locked dye laser pumped by an acousto-optically mode-locked argon ion laser, and also for a colliding pulse passively mode-locked dye laser.     

Wideband phase-noise measurement of mode-locked laser pulses by a demodulation technique

A new method is proposed and demonstrated for measuring the phase noise (pulse timing fluctuations) of mode-locked lasers. The instantaneous phases of the pulse intensity are extracted in a time domain, and the phase-noise power spectral density is calculated from the demodulated signals. Compared with the conventional method based on the single-sideband phase-noise measurement, the proposed method has a larger dynamic range and a wider frequency span. The phase noise of a mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser is measured for 50-mHz-1-MHz Fourier frequencies.     

Timing Jitter Induced by White Noise in Mode-locked Solid-state Lasers

A new method is proposed to analyze and calculate the jitters in a modelocked solid-state laser with chirp. A set of motion equations for amplitude, inverse pulse width, chirp, frequency, pulse central position and phase in a femtosecond mode-locked solid-state laser are derived, and then the jitter induced by white noise is obtained. In a Ti-sapphire mode-locked laser, the jitter is theoretically estimated, and the result is well consistent with the experimental value.     

Measurement of pulse width and amplitude jitter noises of gigahertz optical pulse trains by time-domain demodulation

We propose a technique for measuring both pulse width and amplitude jitter noises of high-repetition-rate optical pulse trains and the cross correlation between these noises as well. The technique is based on time-domain amplitude demodulation of three harmonic components of the detected pulse train. We applied this technique to characterize noises of a gigahertz optical pulse train generated by an actively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser. Correlation between pulse width jitter and pulse amplitude jitter was observed at low frequencies in this laser. Unlike relaxation oscillation noise, low-frequency noise is free from pulse energy jitter. Owing to its ability to measure pulse width jitter in addition to amplitude and phase jitters, this technique is of great interest for characterizing noises of a wide variety of optical pulse train sources.     

Amplitude and Phase Retrieval of Ultrashort Optical Pulse Using Optical Spectrogram Scope

We demonstrate the retrieval of the amplitude and phase of an ultrashort optical pulse from an optical spectrogram obtained by optical spectrogram scope (OSS). OSS is an interferometric method of obtaining a single-shot optical spectrogram without nonlinear optical effects. Since the optical spectrogram obtained by OSS retains information on the amplitude and phase of a signal pulse, we can retrieve this information without an iterative inversion algorithm from the spectrogram. In our demonstration, we retrieved the quadratic variation of a spectral phase of a linear chirped ultrashort laser pulse from a mode-locked Ti: sapphire laser.     

Generation of 10-GHz ultra-short pulses with low time jitter in an actively mode-locked fiber laser

We have experimentally achieved the 8.3-ps ultra-short pulse at 10 GHz repetition rate with the time jitter as low as 590 fs in an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser. The ring-cavity laser is mode-locked by a semiconductor optical amplifier based on cross-gain modulation. The external CW source is modulated with radio frequency signal by an amplitude modulator as the external optical pulses and, then, injected into the fiber ring cavity to achieve active mode locking. Further investigating the laser output characteristics, it indicates that the linewidth of employed CW source affects properties of the generated ultra-short pulse, such as phase noise and time jitter. Ultra-short pulse at high repetition rate with low time jitter can be generated by the optimization of CW laser source.     

Demonstration of phase correlation in multiwavelength mode-locked semiconductor diode lasers

Wideband spectral phase correlation is demonstrated from a multiwavelength mode-locked semiconductor laser. By use of frequency-resolved optical gating techniques, significant phase correlation was observed between multiple intracavity oscillating wavelengths, with wavelength separations of ~1 nm . The resultant temporal characteristics show a substantial modulation owing to the spectral coupling induced by intracavity-generated four-wave mixing. This result may lead to novel methods for directly generating ultrafast subpicosecond optical pulse sequences with spectrally tailored amplitude and phase characteristics from actively mode-locked semiconductor lasers.
