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。

Experimental Study of a Pulsed Ytterbium-Doped Fibre Laser with Fast and Slow Saturable Absorbers in a Linear Cavity

We present a linear-cavity stretched-pulse fibre laser and by semiconductor saturable-absorber mirrors. A with mode locking by a nonlinear polarization rotation Q-switched mode-locking cw train and a mode-locking pulse train are obtained in the experiment. We investigate the effects of the equivalent fast saturable absorber and the slow saturable absorbers in experiment. It is found that neither the nonlinear polarization evolution effect nor a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror is enough to produce the stable cw mode-locking pulses in this experiment. A nonlinear polarization evolution effect controls the cavity loss to literally carve the pulses; semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors provide the self-restarting and maintain the stability of the modelocking operation.     

Theoretical analysis of picosecond pulse development of passively mode-locked Nd-glass lasers

A realistic numerical theory of the temporal and spectral development of picosecond light pulses in a passively mode-locked Nd-glass laser is presented. The effects of the inhomogeneous gain profile of the active medium are considered. The calculations include the pulse development in the prelaser, the linear laser and the mode-locking region. In the mode-locking region twophoton absorption and self-phase modulation in the active medium as well as the bleaching dynamics of the mode-locking dye are included. The influence of self-phase modulation on the temporal pulse shape in active media of finite spectral gain width is analysed. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental findings.This paper is dedicated to Professor W.Kaiser for his 60th birthday.

The general approach to mode-locking mechanism analysis for CW solid-state lasers with a nonlinear Fabry-Pérot interferometer

The effective mode locking of a CW solid-state laser with a nonlinear Fabry-Pérot interferometer with a period matched to that of the main cavity period (mode locking by additional cavity, or coupled-cavity mode locking) is considered. The main features of the ultra-short pulse generation obtained on the basis of numerical simulations in the framework of the fluctuation model are interpreted using an analysis of nonlinear reflectivity of the interferometer. A correlation between parameter ranges for effective mode locking and self-consistent solutions of the system describing the CW ultra-short pulse generation allows one to explain a discrete range character. A new mode-locking regime has been described and the influence of interferometer bistability on the mode-locking efficiency has been evaluated.     

Cooperative Parametric Instability of Natural Modes and Coherent Mechanism of Self-Mode-Locking in a Ring Class-B Laser

Based on recent experimental observations and numerical simulations [1-4], we develop an analytical theory of spontaneous low-threshold mode-locking in a long homogeneously-broadened fiber laser with slow relaxation of inversion. We show that the phenomenon originates from the self-consistent parametric resonance and beat-frequency-locking of paired hot modes taking place due to coherent nonlinear effects in the system of active two-level centers. An important role of the Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken [5-7] multimode instability is discussed.     

Switchable mode-locking states in an all-fiber all-normal-dispersion ytterbium-doped laser

Multi-operation state in an all-normal-dispersion ytterbium-doped fiber laser is obtained by introducing nonlinear polarization or hybrid mode-locking mechanism in the laser cavity. In addition to operating the laser at continuous-wave mode-locking, various operation states including continuous-wave, Q-switched mode-locking, pulse-splitting, and harmonic mode-locking can be achieved by tuning the laser pump power or an intracavity polarization controller. Insertion of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror in the cavity helps to shorten the output pulsewidth of the hybrid mode-locked laser. When the pump power is rapidly adjusted, a strong asymmetric hysteresis behavior can be observed during the manipulation between different orders of harmonic mode-locking.
