研究目的
To demonstrate an L-band passively harmonic mode-locked fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) mechanism.
研究成果
An L-band PHML fiber laser based on NPR mechanism was experimentally demonstrated, achieving a maximum 4.37 GHz repetition rate with a 223rd harmonic order and a super-mode suppression ratio of 34 dB under 712 mW pump power. This laser has great potential in L-band optical communication systems, high-speed sampling, and imaging.
研究不足
The fabrication of physical saturable absorbers can be complicated with high cost and its thermal damage threshold is not enough to support high pump power, which impacts the repetition rate of harmonic pulses.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment utilized a 980 nm laser diode as the pump source with a maximum pump power of 712 mW. A 45° tilted fiber grating (TFG) was sandwiched between two polarization controllers (PCs) to realize mode locking operation. The setup included a polarization independent isolator, a 90:10 coupler, a wavelength division multiplexing, a section of Er-doped fiber, and a section of SMF. The total cavity length was
2:4 m corresponding to the fundamental repetition rate of 63 MHz. The net cavity dispersion was -08 ps2 indicating conventional soliton operation. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiment focused on generating L-band PHML pulses using NPR.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
980 nm laser diode, 45° tilted fiber grating, polarization controllers, polarization independent isolator, 90:10 coupler, wavelength division multiplexing, Er-doped fiber, SMF.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pump power was increased to 712 mW, and PCs were adjusted carefully to obtain
5:37 GHz corresponding to 223rd harmonic order pulses. Data Analysis Methods:
The optical spectrum, RF spectrum, and AC trace were measured to analyze the performance of the PHML fiber laser.
