All-normal dispersion, all-fibered PM laser mode-locked by SESAM

Opt Express. 2012 May 21;20(11):11918-23. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.011918.

Abstract

We report a PM all-normal, all-in-fiber passively mode-locked laser operating at 1030 nm. The main pulse shaping mechanism is provided by a tilted chirped-FBG. The laser delivers nanojoule range highly chirped pulses at a repetition rate of about 40 MHz. The FWHM of the optical spectrum is up to 7.8 nm leading to sub-500 fs compressed optical pulses. The influence of the filtering bandwidth and the output coupling ratio has been investigated.
