Mode locking of a wavelength-swept laser.
نویسنده
چکیده
Self-starting, stable mode-locked pulses can be generated from a wavelength-swept laser through the interplay between an intracavity scanning filter and self-phase modulation. From an Er3+-doped fiber laser employing a scanning Fabry-Perot filter, 100 ps optical pulses are obtained at a 12-MHz repetition rate with center wavelengths that are swept over 27 nm around 1.55 microm in 1 ms.

High-Speed Dual-Band-Swept Fourier Domain Mode Locking Laser
We report a dual-band-swept, Fourier domain mode locking (FDML) laser with sweeping rate of 97.6 kHz. The laser uses a custom-designed dual-channel driver to achieve synchronization between two tunable filters. It is the first time to achieve simultaneous dual-band FDML laser. © 2012 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (300.6360)Spectroscopy, laser; (140.4050) Mode-locked lasers
متن کاملCharacterization of FBG sensor interrogation based on a FDML wavelength swept laser.
In this study, we develop an ultra-fast fiber Bragg grating sensor system that is based on the Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) swept laser. A FDML wavelength swept laser has many advantages compared to the conventional wavelength swept laser source, such as high-speed interrogation, narrow spectral sensitivity, and high phase stability. The newly developed FDML wavelength swept laser shows a ...

We report on stable dual-wavelength operation in passive and hybrid mode-locking of a 10GHz two-section InAs/InP(100) quantum dot laser diode operating at 1.5μm. The range of stable passive mode-locking, the locking range of hybrid mode-locking and detailed measurements of the phase modulation in the output pulses will be presented.

متن کاملCharacterization of Fourier domain mode-locked wavelength swept laser for optical coherence tomography imaging.
We present characteristics of a wavelength swept laser with a scanning fiber Fabry-Perot filter at 1300 nm. We investigate the dependence of the scanning frequencies in the swept laser. In conventional wavelength swept lasers, the relative intensity of the laser output decreases significantly as the scanning frequency increases. The peak wavelength of the output spectrum is red-shifted due to t...
متن کاملWavelength-tunable, passively mode-locked fiber laser based on graphene and chirped fiber Bragg grating.
We demonstrate a wavelength-tunable, passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser based on graphene and chirped fiber Bragg grating. The saturable absorber used to enable passive mode-locking in the fiber laser is a section of microfiber covered by graphene film, which allows light-graphene interaction via the evanescent field of the microfiber. The wavelength of the laser can be continuously...
