The study is limited to the specific configuration of the figure-eight type Ytterbium-doped fiber laser and the effects of birefringence and pump power on pulse shaping. The numerical analysis qualitatively supports the experimental results but may not capture all complexities.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes a figure-eight type Ytterbium-doped fiber laser mode locked by the combined effect of nonlinear polarization evolution and nonlinear optical loop mirror. Cavity birefringence based spectral filtering introduced by polarization controllers is used for pulse shaping.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The experiment involves a 70 cm long single mode Ytterbium-doped gain fiber pumped by a laser diode.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a laser diode, wavelength division multiplexer, polarization controllers, polarizing beam splitter, optical isolator, fiber collimators, single window directional coupler, and a long length of fiber spool.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The setup involves adjusting the polarization controllers to introduce birefringence and spectral filtering, varying pump power to observe different pulse shapes, and characterizing the pulses using digital storage oscilloscope, optical spectrum analyzer, and radio frequency spectrum analyzer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study analyzes the temporal and spectral profiles of the pulses, correlates them with pump power and birefringence settings, and numerically investigates the spectral transmission of the resonator.
