研究目的
Investigating the transition between conventional soliton and stretched-pulse states in a mode-locked fiber laser using a hybrid structure of multimode fiber based saturable absorber.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a soliton and stretched-pulse switchable mode-locked fiber laser using a hybrid SIMMF-GIMMF SA. The transition between conventional soliton and stretched-pulse states is experimentally confirmed for the first time in a 1.5 μm mode-locked fiber laser. The laser achieves a maximum single pulse energy of nearly 1 nJ and a minimum pulse duration of 310 fs, indicating the potential for practical applications in ultrafast photonics.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific lengths of SIMMF and GIMMF used, which may affect the SA's performance and the laser's output characteristics. Additionally, the maximum single pulse energy achieved is nearly 1 nJ, which may not be sufficient for certain high-power applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involves the design of an all-fiber mode-locked laser utilizing a hybrid structure of step-index multimode fiber (SIMMF) and graded-index multimode fiber (GIMMF) as a saturable absorber (SA). The methodology includes the characterization of the SA's nonlinear transmission properties and the demonstration of soliton and stretched-pulse mode-locking states by adjusting pump power.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples include a segment of 104.4 μm SIMMF connected with 20 cm long GIMMF. Data sources are derived from the laser's output characteristics monitored through various devices.
3:4 μm SIMMF connected with 20 cm long GIMMF. Data sources are derived from the laser's output characteristics monitored through various devices. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: - Highly erbium-doped gain fiber (EDF, Nufern SM-ESF-7/125)
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The procedure includes splicing the SIMMF-GIMMF SA into the laser cavity, adjusting pump power and polarization controllers to initiate mode-locking, and monitoring output characteristics to observe the transition from soliton to stretched-pulse states.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis involves measuring the laser's output spectrum, pulse train, autocorrelation trace, and RF spectrum to characterize the mode-locking states and their stability.
