Ultrafast Stretched-Pulse Fiber Laser Mode-Locked by Carbon Nanotubes
Ultrafast fiber sources having short pulses, broad bandwidth, high energy, and low amplitude fluctuations have widespread applications. Stretched-pulse fiber lasers, incorporating segments of normal and anomalous dispersion fibers, are a preferred means to generate such pulses. We realize a stretched-pulse fiber laser based on a nanotube saturable absorber, with 113 fs pulses, 33.5 nm spectral ...
متن کاملMode-locked fiber laser gyroscope.
We propose and demonstrate a novel fiber-optic gyroscope in the form of a mode-locked laser consisting of a laser cavity formed by a planar mirror at one end, a gain medium, and a Sagnac interferometer at the other end. The Sagnac interferometer serves as a reflector as well as a rotation-sensing element. The output of the gyroscope is a series of short optical pulses. The separation of two set...
متن کاملGeneration of 10 GHz pulse packets from an actively mode - locked fiber ring laser
Future ultra high-speed optical networks will probably rely on optical packet switching, where packets of high-speed data can be routed to any node in the network [l]. To allow packet generation at bit rates >40 Gbit/s, return to zero (U) data format will most likely be used which also allows the use of solitons in a transmission link. This will, however, require a very high quality pulse sourc...
متن کاملNanosecond soliton pulse generation by mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser using single-walled carbon-nanotube-based saturable absorber.
We demonstrate a simple and low cost mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) operating in the nanosecond region using a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based saturable absorber (SA). A droplet of SWCNT solution is applied on the end of a fiber ferrule, which is then mated to another clean connector ferrule to construct an SA. Then the SA is integrated into a ring EDFL cavity for nanos...
متن کاملActively mode-locked Raman fiber laser.
Active mode-locking of Raman fiber laser is experimentally investigated for the first time. An all fiber connected and polarization maintaining loop cavity of ~500 m long is pumped by a linearly polarized 1120 nm Yb fiber laser and modulated by an acousto-optic modulator. Stable 2 ns width pulse train at 1178 nm is obtained with modulator opening time of > 50 ns. At higher power, pulses become ...
