Yb-doped glass microcavity laser operation in water.
A ytterbium-doped silica microcavity laser demonstrates stable laser emission while completely submerged in water. To our knowledge, it is the first solid-state laser whose cavity mode interacts with water. The device generates more than 2 microW of output power. The laser performance is presented, and low-concentration biosensing is discussed as a potential application.
متن کاملHybrid Q-switched Yb-doped fiber laser.
We investigate the performance of a hybrid Q-switched (HQS) fiber laser that is constructed with a low RF-power driven acousto-optic (AO) Q-switch and an AlGaInAs semiconductor saturable absorber. Compared to a pure passively Q-switched (PQS) fiber laser, the ratio of timing jitter to pulse period can be significantly reduced from 2% to 0.3% in the regime of far above threshold. On the other ha...
متن کاملThe all-fiber cladding-pumped Yb-doped gain-switched laser.
Gain-switching is an alternative pulsing technique of fiber lasers, which is power scalable and has a low complexity. From a linear stability analysis of rate equations the relaxation oscillation period is derived and from it, the pulse duration is defined. Good agreement between the measured pulse duration and the theoretical prediction is found over a wide range of parameters. In particular w...
متن کاملPractical low-noise stretched-pulse Yb(3+)-doped fiber laser.
We report on the development of what we consider to be a practical and highly stable stretched-pulse laser based on Yb(3+) -doped silica fiber. The Fabry-Perot cavity uses nonlinear polarization rotation as the mode-locking mechanism, and a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror to ensure robust self-starting and incorporates a diffraction grating pair to compensate for the normal dispersion o...
متن کاملYb-Doped Single-Mode Fiber CPA Laser System
High peak power laser systems of up to petawatt [1] are based on chirped pulse amplification (CPA) technique [2]. In the CPA laser system, ultrashort pulses from an oscillator are first stretched below the nonlinear pulse distortion threshold to reduce the peak power and the amplified pulses are recompressed at the output by a compressor. Stable ultrashort pulse oscillator is necessary for CPA ...
