A semiconductor-based, frequency-stabilized mode-locked laser using a phase modulator and an intracavity etalon.

چکیده
We report a frequency-stabilized semiconductor-based mode-locked laser that uses a phase modulator and an intracavity Fabry-Perot etalon for both active mode-locking and optical frequency stabilization. A twofold multiplication of the repetition frequency of the laser is inherently obtained in the process. The residual timing jitter of the mode-locked pulse train is 13 fs (1 Hz to 100 MHz), measured after regenerative frequency division of the photodetected pulse train.

Experimental performance of a single-mode Ytterbium-doped fiber ring laser with intracavity modulator
We have developed a linearly polarized Ytterbiumdoped fiber ring laser with a single longitudinal mode output at 1064 run. A fiber-coupled intracavity phase modulator ensured mode-hop free operation and allowed fast frequency tuning. The fiber laser was locked with high stability to an iodine-stabilized laser, showing a frequency nOIse suppressIOn of a factor,...., 10 at 1 ':IlHz 50"", DET Conf...
متن کامل1.8-THz-wide optical frequency comb emitted from monolithic passively mode-locked semiconductor quantum-well laser.
We report on an optical frequency comb with 14 nm (∼1.8 THz) spectral bandwidth at a -3 dB level that is generated using a passively mode-locked quantum-well laser in photonic integrated circuits fabricated through an InP generic photonic integration technology platform. This 21.5-GHz colliding-pulse mode-locked laser cavity is defined by on-chip reflectors incorporating intracavity phase mod...
متن کاملOptically Injection Mode-Locked 1.3 μm Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Fiber Ring Laser by Using Gain-Switching Single-Mode FPLD
We demonstrate a novel approach for generating a stable and low polarization-sensitive mode-locked fiber ring laser by using a low-cost Fabry-Perot laser diode (FPLD) as both the intracavity mode-locker and the band-pass filter. The FPLD pulses is seeded into a close-loop semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based fiber ring laser for harmonic and rational harmonic mode-locking operation. The ...
متن کاملMode-locked fiber laser frequency-controlled with an intracavity electro-optic modulator.
We demonstrate a mode-locked, erbium-doped fiber laser with its repetition frequency synchronized to a second fiber laser via an intracavity electro-optic modulator (EOM). With servo control from the EOM (bandwidth approximately 230 kHz) and a slower speed intracavity piezoelectric transducer (resonance at approximately 20 kHz), we demonstrate stabilization of the repetition frequency with an i...
متن کامل2.1-watts intracavity-frequency-doubled all-solid-state light source at 671 nm for laser cooling of lithium.
We present an all-solid-state laser source emitting up to 2.1 W of single-frequency light at 671 nm developed for laser cooling of lithium atoms. It is based on a diode-pumped, neodymium-doped orthovanadate (Nd:YVO(4)) ring laser operating at 1342 nm. Optimization of the thermal management in the gain medium results in a maximum multi-frequency output power of 2.5 W at the fundamental wavelengt...
