چکیده
We demonstrate a soliton fiber laser based on an anomalously dispersive erbium-doped fiber butt-coupled to a saturable absorber mirror for passive mode locking. The laser generates 180 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 491 MHz and exhibits a timing jitter as low as 20 fs over the frequency range 1 kHz-10 MHz.

High repetition rate, low jitter, low intensity noise, fundamentally mode-locked 167 fs soliton Er-fiber laser.
A fundamentally mode-locked soliton Er-fiber laser generating 167 fs pulses at 194 MHz via polarization additive-pulse mode locking is demonstrated. This simple, compact, and high repetition rate source exhibits a low timing jitter of 18 fs [1 kHz, 10 MHz] and the lowest relative intensity noise of less than 0.003% [1 kHz, 10 MHz] observed from an Er-fiber laser.
متن کاملGigahertz repetition rate, sub-femtosecond timing jitter optical pulse train directly generated from a mode-locked Yb:KYW laser.
We show that a 1.13 GHz repetition rate optical pulse train with 0.70 fs high-frequency timing jitter (integration bandwidth of 17.5 kHz-10 MHz, where the measurement instrument-limited noise floor contributes 0.41 fs in 10 MHz bandwidth) can be directly generated from a free-running, single-mode diode-pumped Yb:KYW laser mode-locked by single-wall carbon nanotube-coated mirrors. To our knowled...
متن کاملMicromachining with a High Repetition Rate Femtosecond Fiber Laser
Industrial micromachining applications with ultrashort pulse lasers are often difficult to make practical due to the lack of robustness of the laser and the slow processing speed resulting from the low repetition rate. In the past, amplified, femtosecond lasers produced high pulse energies, but at a slow pulse repetition rate of around a kHz. The high repetition rate oscillators did not have en...
متن کاملTowards high-performance optical master oscillators for energy recovery linacs
Advanced accelerators as well as 4th generation light sources require extremely precise timing distribution. Energy recovery linacs, for example, require precise timing of the electron bunches reentering the linac in order to minimize the disturbance of the RF amplitude and phase to evade resonant effects on the subsequent accelerated bunch. The timing distribution system has to maintain femtos...
متن کاملFemtosecond passively mode-locked fiber lasers using saturable Bragg reflectors
We demonstrate a soliton fiber laser with 280-fs pulses at 408-MHz repetition rate, and a stretched-pulse regime fiber laser with 102-fs pulses at 234-MHz repetition rate. Both use saturable Bragg reflectors for mode-locking and/or self-starting. Introduction Compact sources of femtosecond laser pulses are an attractive and versatile technology for a variety of applications, such as frequency m...
