We report generation of stable train of noise-like pulses (NLPs) from all-normal dispersion ytterbium doped all-fiber unidirectional ring cavity consisting of semiconductor saturable absorber (SeSA) without any bandpass filter (BPF). NLPs are characterized by their autocorrelation traces which exhibit ~500 fs spike riding on a broad pedestal of ~200 ps. NLP operation is also supported by its relatively broad optical spectrum along with reasonably stable longer pulse profile on oscilloscope. Numerical simulations have also been performed in detail to study the effects of cavity parameters like the cavity length, BPF bandwidth and depth of modulation (q0) of SeSA on the evolved pulses from the cavity. The simulation results suggest that stable single clean pulse (SSCP) is generated for a certain range of cavity parameters and in the absence of BPF no SSCP is possible from the cavity if the value of q0 is below a certain value. Under this condition either NLP or no pulse is generated in the simulation. Numerically simulated NLP in a ring cavity matches qualitatively with the experimentally obtained results for NLP. The study carried out on NLP will enrich database of pulse dynamics in modelocked oscillators and has potential application in optical coherence tomography and supercontinuum generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
