Optimised one-step compression of femtosecond fibre laser soliton pulses around 1550nm to below 30 fs in highly nonlinear fibre
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimised compression of femtosecond fibre laser pulses in highly nonlinear fibre is demonstrated. Specifically reported are compressed pulse durations below 30 fs using a simple setup where a single sub10 cm segment of highly nonlinear fibre is directly spliced to the output pigtail of a commercial femtosecond fibre laser. The compressed pulse quality is confirmed through frequency resolved optical gating measurements.

Square Lattice Elliptical- Core Photonic Crystal Fiber Soliton-Effect Compressor at 1550nm
In this paper, we investigate the evolution of supercontinuum and femtosecond optical pulses generation through square lattice elliptical-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) at 1550 nm by using both full-vector multipole method (M.P.M) and novel concrete algorithms: symmetric split-step Fourier (SSF) and fourth order Runge Kutta (RK4) which is an accurate method to solve the general nonlinear...
متن کاملOptimised design of a fibre-based pulse compressor for gain-switched DFB laser pulses at 1.5 μm
An optical-fibre based pulse compressor for gain-switched DFB laser pulses has been optimised using a systematic procedure based on the initial complete characterisation of the laser pulses, followed by numerical simulations of the pulse propagation in different types of fibre to determine the required lengths for optimum compression. Using both linear and nonlinear compression techniques, an o...
متن کاملStretched pulse Yb3+ :Silica Fibre Laser
We report what we believe to be the first results on short pulse generation in Yb3’:silica fibre. By applying the stretched pulse technique in a unidirectional, polarisation-switch Yb> fibre laser incorporating a prism-based dispersive delay line, we obtain self-start mode-locking and 100 pJ pulses which can be compressed to give clean chirp-free 400 fs pulses. We believe such sources to have g...
متن کاملSimultaneous fs pulse spectral broadening and third harmonic generation in highly nonlinear fibre: experiments and simulations
Experiments and numerical simulations are used to study non-phasematched single-mode third harmonic generation occurring simultaneously with fs pulse spectral broadening in highly nonlinear fibre. Pump pulses around 100 fs at 1560 nm injected into sub-5 cm lengths of commerciallyavailable highly nonlinear fibre are observed to undergo spectral broadening spanning over 700 nm at the −30 dB level...
متن کاملDouble-Wall Carbon Nanotube Hybrid Mode-Locker in Tm-doped Fibre Laser: A Novel Mechanism for Robust Bound-State Solitons Generation
The complex nonlinear dynamics of mode-locked fibre lasers, including a broad variety of dissipative structures and self-organization effects, have drawn significant research interest. Around the 2 μm band, conventional saturable absorbers (SAs) possess small modulation depth and slow relaxation time and, therefore, are incapable of ensuring complex inter-pulse dynamics and bound-state soliton ...
