Abstract
We demonstrate a dissipative soliton mode-locked fiber laser with controllable multipulsing. The laser was constructed in a figure-8, nonlinear amplifying loop mirror, all-in fiber cavity configuration using polarization maintaining fibers and components and a 2-meter long PM double-clad active fiber as the gain medium. The self-starting configuration was capable of generating between 1 and 25 subnanosecond pulses in a single bunch, at a 4.05 MHz repetition rate. The number of pulses generated in a single bunch was controllable via the pump power delivered to the active fiber. We provide and discuss a theoretical model of the laser, along with an experimental investigation of the pulse splitting and the laser stability. The capability of utilizing the lasers as a seed source for further amplification was experimentally verified, reaching an output power of 2.63 W during the multipulse operation.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
