Abstract
We have proposed and demonstrated the generation of a high-repetition-rate ultrashort pulse with long-term stability and low noise based on a harmonic mode-locked (HML) figure-9 fiber laser. Different HML orders from the 2nd to the 13th are generated by adjusting the pump power, net dispersion, and wave plate angles. A 2-GHz HML pulse is obtained with a 155-MHz fundamental repetition rate in a Yb-doped fiber laser, and the corresponding supermode suppression level is as high as 50 dB. The average power of the output pulse is nearly 200 mW, and the compressed pulse duration is 535 fs. To the best of our knowledge, 2 GHz and 196 mW represent, respectively, the highest repetition rate and output power in a figure-9 fiber laser. This work offers a potential pathway to achieve high-repetition-rate ultrashort pulses in the GHz range with high power and low noise levels.
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
