Controllable harmonic mode locking and multiple pulsing in a Ti:sapphire laser.
A new way to control the harmonic mode-locking and multiple pulsing operation with the pulse duration unaffected of a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser was demonstrated. When the effective nonlinear length of the nonlinear medium which was inserted in the Ti:sapphire laser was varied by changing the position of the medium or the pump power of the laser, stable harmonic mode-locking and mu...
متن کاملMode locking of a wavelength-swept laser.
Self-starting, stable mode-locked pulses can be generated from a wavelength-swept laser through the interplay between an intracavity scanning filter and self-phase modulation. From an Er3+-doped fiber laser employing a scanning Fabry-Perot filter, 100 ps optical pulses are obtained at a 12-MHz repetition rate with center wavelengths that are swept over 27 nm around 1.55 microm in 1 ms.
متن کاملMode-locking of a CW laser
Short pulses are useful in a number of applications in optics, e.g., time resolved spectroscopy, sampling of fast electronics, and communications. This has led to a number of mode-locking techniques to obtain such pulses, for example acousto-optic, injection, synchronous-pump, collidingpulse mode-locking, and Kerr-lens mode-locking. Using the latter two techniques, pulses of less than 100 fs du...
متن کاملHarmonic mode locking of bound solitons.
We systematically investigate the passive harmonic mode locking (HML) of the bound states of two solitons in a fiber laser that has been mode locked by nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR). The experiment shows that the stable HML state of the bound solitons (BSs) with a fixed and discrete separation is obtained. The repetition rate changes by increasing the pump power and slightly altering th...
متن کاملSelf..mode",locking of a semiconductor laser
Active-mode locking of semiconductor lasers has pro duced optical pulses as short as 0.58 ps.! This result was achieved using the positive portion of a 16 GHz sinusoid as an electrical drive signal. For many applications, such as electro-optic sampling, it is more useful to have the mode locked optical pulses at a much lower repetition rate. This requires an electrical drive source that produ...
