چکیده
A fundamentally mode-locked soliton Er-fiber laser generating 167 fs pulses at 194 MHz via polarization additive-pulse mode locking is demonstrated. This simple, compact, and high repetition rate source exhibits a low timing jitter of 18 fs [1 kHz, 10 MHz] and the lowest relative intensity noise of less than 0.003% [1 kHz, 10 MHz] observed from an Er-fiber laser.

Soliton fiber laser mode-locked by a single-wall carbon nanotube-polymer composite
We present a detailed investigation of pulse width and spectral dynamics of an Er-doped soliton fiber ring laser, mode-locked by a carbon-nanotube-polymer composite. The laser is stable and produces ∼ 650 fs pulses at a fundamental repetition rate of 20.8MHz. The carbon nanotube saturable absorber has a low saturation intensity of ∼ 18.9 MW/cm and a 16.9% reduction in absorption (due to saturat...
متن کاملHigh-repetition-rate, 491 MHz, femtosecond fiber laser with low timing jitter.
We demonstrate a soliton fiber laser based on an anomalously dispersive erbium-doped fiber butt-coupled to a saturable absorber mirror for passive mode locking. The laser generates 180 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 491 MHz and exhibits a timing jitter as low as 20 fs over the frequency range 1 kHz-10 MHz.
متن کاملDispersion management in a harmonically mode-locked fiber soliton laser.
Harmonically mode-locked Er-fiber soliton lasers have become a reliable source of high-repetition-rate picosecond pulses in high-speed communications and photonic analog-to-digital conversion systems because of their low-noise, dropout-free operation. We have fabricated such a laser with a strongly dispersion-managed cavity and modeled its operation, and we have found that dispersion management...
متن کاملStable subpicosecond soliton fiber laser passively mode-locked by gigahertz acoustic resonance in photonic crystal fiber core
Ultrafast lasers with high repetition rates are of considerable interest in applications such as optical fiber telecommunications, frequency metrology, high-speed optical sampling, and arbitrary waveform generation. For fiber lasers mode-locked at the cavity round-trip frequency, the pulse repetition rate is limited to tens or hundreds of megahertz by the meter-order cavity lengths. Here we rep...
متن کاملFemtosecond passively mode-locked fiber lasers using saturable Bragg reflectors
We demonstrate a soliton fiber laser with 280-fs pulses at 408-MHz repetition rate, and a stretched-pulse regime fiber laser with 102-fs pulses at 234-MHz repetition rate. Both use saturable Bragg reflectors for mode-locking and/or self-starting. Introduction Compact sources of femtosecond laser pulses are an attractive and versatile technology for a variety of applications, such as frequency m...
