Modeling of Mode-Locked Lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growing demand of communication networks requires ultra-short pulses. Ultra-short pulses can guarantee high data transfer and power. Fiber lasers, which are actively or passively mode-locked to generate ultrashort pulses, are termed as Mode locked fiber lasers. There are a number of methods available for mode-locking of lasers. We have discussed most of them in this paper. At the end a model of actively mode-locked fiber ring laser is simulated.

Locking Bandwidth of Actively Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers
The locking bandwidth of an actively mode-locked semiconductor laser is a measure of its tolerance to variations in the input drive frequency. At frequencies outside the locking bandwidth, the output pulses from the laser exhibit large amplitude fluctuations and timing jitter. This paper investigates the locking bandwidths of fundamentally driven and harmonically driven high-repetition-rate act...
متن کاملOptical Frequency Synthesis Based on Mode-Locked Lasers
The synthesis of optical frequencies from the primary cesium microwave standard has traditionally been a difficult problem due to the large disparity in frequency. Recently this field has been dramatically advanced by the introduction and use of mode-locked lasers. This application of mode-locked lasers has been particularly aided by the ability to generate mode-locked spectra that span an octa...
متن کاملDiode-pumped mode-locked femtosecond 2-μm Tm:CaYAlO4 laser
Continuous-wave mode-locked femtosecond 2-m solid-state laser with a c-cut Tm:CaYAlO4 (6 at.%) as gain medium was experimentally demonstrated. The mode locked laser generated stable pulses with average output power as high as 531 mW, pulse duration of 496 fs, and repetition rate of 97 MHz at 1975 nm. The research results show that Tm:CaYAlO4 is an excellent gain medium for femtosecond pulse ge...
متن کاملHybrid Mode Locked Fiber Ring Laser
Mode locked pulse generation has been reported using both active and passive mode locking schemes. Active mode locking technique has been proven to be an effective way to generate high-repetition-rate pulses by incorporating a modulator inside the laser cavity. Compared to actively mode locked lasers, passively mode locked lasers can generate pulse train at ultrashort pulse width but with relat...
متن کاملSelf-starting of passively mode-locked lasers with fast saturable absorbers.
Self-starting of passively mode-locked lasers with fast saturable absorption is studied. Our basic assumption is that the lasers will self-start when cw operation is unstable and mode-locked operation is stable. We start with a standard model, closely related to the Ginzburg–Landau equation, that is valid when the change in the time variation of the laser light during one round trip through the...
