Breather Molecular Complexes in a Passively Mode?Locked Fiber Laser

A Regeneratively Modelocked , Fiber Ring Laser

This thesis addresses some of the issues relating to the construction of a regeneratively modelocked, fiber ring laser for high repetition rates. The equations governing feedback are derived, and experimental performance of the system with various filter bandwidths are given. The results are compared with those of active modelocking without stabilization. Pulse stabilization in the actively mod...

Modelocked self-frequency doubling neodymium doped fiber laser

We have demonstrated simultaneous lasing and self-frequency doubling of a neodymium and germanium doped silica fiber laser at 1.06 pm. The doubling action is provided by a self-organized phase matching grating in the fiber. The laser was modelocked using a linear external cavity which produced 600 ps pulses at 1.06 pm.

Diode-pumped Tm:KY(WO4)2 laser passively modelocked with a GaSb-SESAM.

We present the first diode-pumped modelocked thulium (Tm3+) laser based on a double-tungstate crystalline gain material. The solid-state laser consists of a Tm:KY(WO4)2 crystal as gain medium and a GaInSb/GaSb quantum well saturable absorber for self-starting passive mode locking. The laser is pumped by a multi-mode fiber-coupled laser diode at a wavelength of 793 nm. An average output power of...

Amplification of Picosecond Pulses Generated in a Carbon Nanotube Modelocked Thulium Fiber Laser

Generation of 5 ps, 32 pJ pulses from a carbon nanotube modelocked thulium fiber oscillator and their amplification to 0.6 W average power, 2.6 kW peak power, 13 nJ pulses by an LMA thulium fiber amplifier is discussed. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3510) Lasers, fiber; (140.7090) Ultrafast Lasers;
