Apparatus for producing femtosecond and picosecond pulses from modelocked fiber lasers cladding pumped with broad area diode laser arrays |
摘要 |
A technique for the generation of picosecond (psec) and femtosecond (fsec) pulses from modelocked double-clad fiber lasers cladding pumped with broad area diode laser arrays is disclosed. Using an erbium/ytterbium fiber oscillator, 560 fsec pulses with pulse energies up to 40 pJ are generated at a wavelength of 1560 nm. In a dispersion-compensated cavity, pulses as short as 170 fsec with pulse energies up to 50 pJ are obtained. By adding a negatively chirped fiber Bragg grating for additional intracavity dispersion control, pulse widths of 3 psec with pulse energies up to 1 nJ are obtained. A saturable absorber is used for pulse start up, whereas nonlinear polarization evolution is exploited for steady-state pulse shaping. An environmentally stable design is ensured by employing birefringent fibers and a compensation scheme for linear and nonlinear polarization drifts in the cavity.
