Chaotic Mode-locking of Chirped-pulse Oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
Chaotic mode-locking of chirped-pulse oscillator has been analyzed on the basis of generalized nonlinear cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. It has been shown, that the chirped solitary pulse can be stabilized against the vacuum excitation, if the fourth-order dispersion is nonzero and positive. However, the pulse evolves chaotically, if the dispersion reaches some threshold value.

Cr : YAG chirped-pulse oscillator.
We demonstrate chirped-pulse operation of a Cr : YAG passively mode-locked laser. Different operation regimes of the laser are extensively investigated in the vicinity of zero dispersion both experimentally and numerically. It is shown that for a given laser configuration, transition to the positive dispersion regime allows a 5-fold increase in the output pulse energy, which is otherwise limite...
متن کاملHigh-order dispersion in chirped-pulse oscillators.
The effects of high-order dispersion on a chirped-pulse oscillator operating in the positive dispersion regime were studied both theoretically and experimentally. It was found that odd and negative even high-order dispersions impair the oscillator stability owing to resonance with the dispersion waves, but can broaden the spectrum as in the case of continuum generation in the fibers. Positive f...

Environmentally stable high-power erbium fiber soliton lasers are constructed by Kerr or carrier-type mode locking. We obtain high-energy pulses by using relatively short fiber lengths and providing large amounts of negative dispersion with chirped fiber Bragg gratings. The pulse energies and widths generated with both types of soliton laser are found to scale with the square root of the cavity...
متن کاملMode-locked oscillators in the positive and negative dispersion regimes: scenarios of destabilization
We analyze the influence of spectrally modulated dispersion and loss on the stability of mode-locked oscillators. In the negative dispersion regime, a soliton oscillator can be stabilized in a close proximity to zero-dispersion wavelength, when spectral modulation of dispersion and loss are strong and weak, respectively. If the dispersion is close to zero but positive, we observe chaotic mode-l...
متن کاملChirped-pulse oscillators: A unified standpoint
A completely analytical and unified approach to the theory of chirped-pulse oscillators is presented. The approach developed is based on the approximate integration of the generalized nonlinear complex GinzburgLandau equation and demonstrates that a chirped-pulse oscillator is controlled by only two parameters. It makes it easy to trace spread of the real-world characteristics of both solid-sta...
