Mode-locked thulium-fluoride fibre laser with an adjustable pulse width using a nonlinear optical loop mirror
A mode-locked thulium-fluoride fibre laser with a tunable pulse width using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) for operation in the S-band region is proposed and demonstrated. Stable dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) mode-locked pulses are obtained at a threshold pump power of 186.8 mW and mai...

description |
A mode-locked thulium-fluoride fibre laser with a tunable pulse width using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) for operation in the S-band region is proposed and demonstrated. Stable dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) mode-locked pulses are obtained at a threshold pump power of 186.8 mW and maintain stability until a maximum pump power of 249.7 mW. Pulse width modulation of between 70.8 ns and 120.3 ns is obtained over the operating pump power range, with a fundamental frequency at 97.4 kHz. A maximum output power of 0.99 mW and a pulse energy of 10.21 nJ are obtained. The output pulse has a signal-to-noise ratio of 69 dB at the maximum pump power, indicating a highly stable output. The variable pulse width will find significant applications as modulated light sources for various optical and optoelectronic systems. © 2019 Kvantovaya Elektronika and Turpion Ltd |
