A diode-pumped Nd:GdVO4 laser mode-locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber and output coupler (SESAOC) is passively stabilized to suppress Q-switched mode-locking. A phase mismatched BIBO second-harmonic generation (SHG) crystal is used for passive stabilization. The continuous wave mode-locking (CWML) threshold is reduced and the pulse width is compressed. The pulse width is 6.5 ps as measured at the repetition rate of 128 MHz. 相似文献

This paper reports the periodic power variation of the pulse-train
in a passively mode-locked soliton fiber ring laser. It can obtain
either the uniform or nonuniform pulse-train output by simply
rotating the polarization controllers. The experimental results show
that the pulse-train nonuniformity is caused by the interaction
between the nonuniform polarization states of the soliton pulses and
the passive polarizer in the cavity. 相似文献

The properties of an ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber laser, passively mode-locked by nonlinear polarization rotation are investigated in this work. Cartographies of mode-locking regime versus halfwave plates orientations are presented for several values of the total cavity dispersion and for different pump powers. Bistability between the continuous and the mode-locking regimes is pointed out. The effect of the total group velocity dispersion is described with a master mode-locking equation.

Characteristics of the pulse train from a ruby laser have been studied at different output intensity levels. At a low output level, broadening of the spectrum of the pulses is followed by a gradual increase of temporal width in the train. At a high output level, rapid deformation arises closer to the peak of the train, resulting in splitting of the pulses into several fragments. The width of a transform-limited pulse obtained at the beginning of the train was 28±2 picoseconds. 相似文献

Polarization Rotation Locked Vector Solitons (PRLVSs) are experimentally observed for the first time in a fiber ring laser passively mode-locked by a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) saturable absorber. Period-doubling of these solitons at certain birefringence values has also been observed. We show that fine adjustment to the intracavity birefringence can swing the PRLVSs from period-doubled to period-one state without simultaneous reduction in the pump strength. The timing jitter for both states has also been measured experimentally and discussed analytically using the theoretical framework provided by the Haus model. 相似文献

The operational parameters including the polarization controlling and the pump power in a nonlinear polarization rotation-based passively mode-locked fiber laser are studied in this paper.The carrier rate equations of the activated erbium-doped fiber are first employed together with the nonlinear Shro¨dinger equations to reveal the relation between the operational parameters and the output state of the passively mode-locked fiber laser.The numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the output state of the mode-locked laser varies with the polarization controlling and the pump power.The periodicity of the polarization controlling is observed.With given pump power,there exists a set of polarization controlling under which the ultra-short pulse can be generated.With given polarization controlling,the mode-locked state can be maintained generally except for some particular values of pump power.Three shapes of the output optical spectra from the fiber cavity can be identified when the pump power changes.The results in this paper provide a comprehensive insight into the operation of the nonlinear polarization rotation-based passively mode-locked fiber laser. 相似文献

We report experimental and numerical results on the new pulse dynamics in a passively mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber laser operating in the chirped-pulse regime. Due to the negligible nonlinearity of added highly-positive GVD segment in the purely-normal-dispersion regime, highly-positive chirped pulses can be formed through weak intra-cavity temporal and spectral breathing. Numerical simulations reveal intra-cavity pulse evolution with local temporal stretching phenomena and pulse shaping properties. 相似文献

All-fiber bidirectional passively mode-locked ring laser 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report the design and operation of a novel all-fiber bidirectional passively mode-locked ring laser. An erbium-doped fiber was chosen as the active element in a ring cavity arrangement. A short segment of a fiber taper embedded in carbon nanotubes/polymer composite, acting as a saturable absorber, was used to enable bidirectional mode locking. The laser generates two stable femtosecond pulse trains in opposite directions. A beat note of about 2 MHz, having a bandwidth of less than 2 kHz, is measured when the pulses propagating in opposite directions are (temporally) overlapped at a photodetector. We believe this device will find important applications in precision rotation sensing. 相似文献

The phenomenon of dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) predicts that an increase of pulse energy by orders of magnitude can be obtained in laser oscillators. Here, we prove that DSR is achievable in a realistic ring laser cavity using nonlinear polarization evolution as the mode-locking mechanism, whose nonlinear transmission function is adjusted through a set of waveplates and a passive polarizer. The governing model accounts explicitly for the arbitrary orientations of the waveplates and the polarizer, as well as the gain saturation in the amplifying medium. It is shown that DSR is achievable with realistic laser settings. Our findings provide an excellent design tool for optimizing the mode-locking performance and the enhancement of energy delivered per pulse by orders of magnitude. 相似文献

By solving the Haus master equation through split step Fourier transform method, several programs which can simulate the soliton mode-locked dynamic processes of the passively mode-locked solid laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) are established, based on a MATLAB environment. The pulse evolution equations are solved numerically. Sample calculations for a diode-pumped Nd3+:YVO4 (0.5% doped) laser with a SESAM are presented to demonstrate the use of the simulation programs and the related formulas. Several theoretical results such as the pulse width, the peak power and the average output power are obtained with a given cavity structure, which are in good agreement with the reported experimental results. 相似文献

We report on the experimental observation of period-doubling of randomly distributed multiple solitons in a passively mode-locked fiber laser. We show that after a period-doubling bifurcation, the period of each soliton in the cavity becomes doubled. However, the intensity variation of the solitons is not necessarily synchronized, indicating that their period-doubling is unrelated. Numerical simulations verified the experimental observations. 相似文献

We report experimental observation of rains of solitons in figure-of-eight fiber laser passively mode-locked through nonlinear optical loop mirror. Soliton pulses are created from an extended noisy background and drift until they reach a condensed phase comprising several tens of aggregated solitons. The observation of this dynamics tends to strengthen the idea of the universality of the collective behavior of solitons. 相似文献

A fiber Bragg grating sensor array is interrogated by use of a passively mode-locked fiber laser source. A novel demodulation scheme that uses highly dispersive fiber to convert the grating wavelength shift to a temporal shift in the arrival time of the reflected pulses is demonstrated. The source bandwidth of >85 nm permits interrogation of many-grating arrays, and the demodulation technique permits fast sensing of large strains. 相似文献

The bound solitons in a passively mode-locked fibre ring laser are observed and their formation mechanism is summarized in this paper. In order to obtain stable bound solitons, a strong CW laser field at the centre of the soliton spectral is necessary to suppress and synchronize the random soliton phase variations. 相似文献

Based on the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique and a fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a fiber laser which can work in two different modes has been demonstrated. In one mode, it works as a continuous wave (CW) multiwavelength laser, and stable dual-, triple- and tetra-wavelength lasing with the wavelength spacing of 1.1 nm are obtained. In the other mode, it works as a passively mode-locked fiber laser, and the generated pulses have a repetition rate of 10.6 MHz, an FWHM width of 800 ps and the largest energy of 1 nJ. The multi-functional property makes this fiber laser a very convenient, cost effective and multi-purpose laser source. 相似文献

Passive mode-locking of a diode-pumped Nd:CLNGG laser was demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. The laser operated at a central wavelength of 1061.2 nm with a maximum average output power of 101 mW. The mode-locked pulses have pulse duration of 2.0 ps, a spectral bandwidth of 1.2 nm and a repetition rate of 88.4 MHz. The mode locking of the laser was enabled by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). 相似文献

A passively mode-locked soliton fiber ring laser was successfully demonstrated, and bound soliton pulses with an FWHM pulsewidth of 326 fs and fixed separation of 938 fs were first observed. The number of bound soliton pairs in the cavity can be controlled under lower pump power. The transmission effects were investigated by injecting bound soliton pulses into a single mode fiber. 相似文献

Femtosecond laser micromachining of grooves in indium phosphide 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Femtosecond laser micromachining of indium phosphide is investigated using 150 fs light pulses at a center wavelength of 800 nm. The ablation rate for micromachining of grooves is investigated as a function of pulse energy, feed rate, number of passes over the same groove, and the light polarization relative to the cutting direction. A logarithmic dependence of the groove depth on the laser fluence is observed with two regimes characterized by different ablation rates and different thresholds. The groove depth is found to be inversely proportional to the feed rate or equivalently linearly proportional to number of pulses delivered per unit area. With multiple passes over the same groove the depth increases linearly up to about 20 consecutive passes. Above 20 passes the ablation rate decreases until a depth limit is approached. The best results in terms of groove geometry and depth limit are obtained with the polarization of the beam perpendicular to the cutting direction. PACS 42.62.Cf; 79.20.Ds; 81.20.Wk 相似文献
