Pulse shaping in mode-locked fiber lasers by in-cavity spectral filter.

چکیده
We numerically show the possibility of pulse shaping in a passively mode-locked fiber laser by inclusion of a spectral filter into the laser cavity. Depending on the amplitude transfer function of the filter, we are able to achieve various regimes of advanced temporal waveform generation, including ones featuring bright and dark parabolic-, flat-top-, triangular- and saw-tooth-profiled pulses. The results demonstrate the strong potential of an in-cavity spectral pulse shaper for controlling the dynamics of mode-locked fiber lasers.

متن کاملHighly efficient femtosecond pulse stretching by tailoring cavity dispersion in erbium fiber lasers with an intracavity short-pass edge filter.
We demonstrate highly efficient pulse stretching in Er(3+)-doped femtosecond mode-locked fiber lasers by tailoring cavity dispersion using an intracavity short-pass edge filter. The cavity dispersion is preset at around zero to obtain the shortest pulsewidth. When the cutoff wavelength of the short-pass edge filter is thermo-optically tuned to overlap the constituting spectral components of mod...
متن کاملSpectral line-by-line pulse shaping for optical arbitrary pulse-train generation
ulse-shaping techniques, in which user-specified ulrashort pulse fields are synthesized via parallel manipuation of optical Fourier components, are now widely dopted [1]. Among the almost arbitrary waveforms enbled by pulse shaping, one subset with particular appeal nvolves generation and manipulation of optical pulse rains. Discrete pulse train packets (or bursts) have been enerated by both Fo...
متن کاملReduction of timing jitter and intensity noise in normal-dispersion passively mode-locked fiber lasers by narrow band-pass filtering.
Fiber lasers mode-locked with normal cavity dispersion have recently attracted great attention due to large output pulse energy and femtosecond pulse duration. Here we accurately characterized the timing jitter of normal-dispersion fiber lasers using a balanced cross-correlation method. The timing jitter characterization experiments show that the timing jitter of normal-dispersion mode-locked f...
