Phase-locked soliton pairs in a stretched-pulse fiber laser.

چکیده
We report the experimental observation of stable pulse pairs with a +/-pi/2 phase difference in a passively mode-locked stretched-pulse fiber ring laser. In our setup the stabilization of interacting subpicosecond pulses is obtained with a large range of pulse separations, namely, from 2.7 to 10 ps, without the need for external control.

Soliton pairs in a fiber laser: from anomalous to normal average dispersion regime.
We report the observation of self phase-locked pulse pairs in a stretched-pulse fiber laser operating in the normal path-averaged dispersion regime. Numerical simulations agree with our experimental results. More insight is provided with a numerical comparison between intracavity profiles of pulse pairs in anomalous and in normal dispersion regimes.
متن کاملDiscrete Set of Separations between Phase-Locked Soliton Pairs in a Passively Mode-Locked Fiber Laser
Passively mode-locked fiber ring lasers and dispersion-managed fiber transmission links are examples of optical dissipative dynamical systems, supporting stable pulses and multi-soliton trains. An example of stable multi-soliton solution with +/-p/2 phase differences, have been predicted theoretically earlier based on the model of complex quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation [1]. More recently, we ...
متن کاملDynamics of a Dispersion-Managed Passively Mode-Locked Er-Doped Fiber Laser Using Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
We investigated the dynamics of a dispersion-managed, passively mode-locked, ultrashort-pulse, Er-doped fiber laser using a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) device. A numerical model was constructed for analysis of the SWNT fiber laser. The initial process of passive mode-locking, the characteristics of the output pulse, and the dynamics inside the cavity were investigated numerically for sol...
متن کاملDesign and Applications of In-Cavity Pulse Shaping by Spectral Sculpturing in Mode-Locked Fibre Lasers
We review our recent progress on the realisation of pulse shaping in passively-mode-locked fibre lasers by inclusion of an amplitude and/or phase spectral filter into the laser cavity. We numerically show that depending on the amplitude transfer function of the in-cavity filter, various regimes of advanced waveform generation can be achieved, including ones featuring parabolic-, flat-topand tri...
متن کاملSub-100-fs 1.87 GHz mode-locked fiber laser using stretched-soliton effects
Current pulsed fiber lasers that are capable of delivering stable sub-100-fs pulses at megahertz repetition rates require intracavity pulse energies in the nanojoule range. Scaling these lasers to gigahertz repetition rates necessitates, therefore, very high average power levels and complex cladding-pumped configurations. Here we report a type of stretchedsoliton all-fiber laser that generates ...
