Red-green-blue (RGB) light generator using tapered fiber pumped with a frequency-doubled Yb-fiber laser.

چکیده
We report on successful realization of a picosecond visible-continuum source embedding a single mode fiber taper. The output of ytterbium mode-locked fiber laser was frequency doubled in a periodically-polled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal to produce green pump light. Spectral brightness of the white light generated in the tapered fiber was improved by limiting the broadening just to the visible wavelengths. The influence of taper parameters, particularly the dispersion, on white light spectrum has been studied.

RGB generation by four-wave mixing in small-core holey fibers
We report the generation of white light comprising red, green, and blue spectral bands from a frequency-doubled fiber laser in submicron-sized cores of microstructured holey fibers. Picosecond pulses of green light are launched into a single suspended core of a silica holey fiber where energy is transferred by an efficient four-wave mixing process into a red and blue sideband whose wavelengths ...
متن کاملEfficient yellow-light generation by frequency doubling a narrow-linewidth 1150 nm ytterbium fiber oscillator.
A linearly polarized, narrow-linewidth, diode-pumped, Yb-doped silica-fiber oscillator operating at 1150 nm was frequency doubled to produce 40 mW of 575 nm radiation. The oscillator generated 89 mW of cw linearly polarized output power and was tunable over 0.80 nm. The laser output was coupled to a periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguide that converted 67% of the coupled power to the yellow. The s...

We present the results of the experimental study and comparison of Yb-free, Erdoped, all-fiber, alignment free, single frequency (SF) fiber amplifiers operating under 980-, 1470and 1530-nm pumping for the coreand clad-pumping architectures. In the single-mode core-pumped configuration Er-doped fiber amplifiers demonstrated 52% and 60% pump to output efficiencies for 980 and 1480 nm pump wavelen...
متن کامل201 W picosecond green laser using a mode-locked fiber laser driven cryogenic Yb:YAG amplifier system.
We have generated 201 W of green (514.5 nm) average power from a frequency-doubled picosecond cryogenic Yb:YAG laser system driven by a 50 MHz, 12.4 ps mode-locked Yb fiber laser producing 430 W of average power at 1029 nm, using direct pulse amplification. The fundamental beam produced was near-diffraction-limited (M(2)<1.3). Second-harmonic-generation is achieved using a 20 mm long noncritica...
متن کاملYb-fiber-laser-pumped, high-repetition-rate picosecond optical parametric oscillator tunable in the ultraviolet.
We report a compact tunable 240-MHz picosecond source for the ultraviolet based on intra-cavity frequency doubling of a signal-resonant MgO:sPPLT optical parametric oscillator (OPO), synchronously pumped at 532 nm in the green by the second harmonic of a mode-locked Yb-fiber laser at 80-MHz repetition rate. By deploying a 30-mm-long multi-grating MgO:sPPLT crystal for the OPO and a 5-mm-long Bi...
