A 2 μm band active mode-locked fiber laser with 3m thulium-holmium co-doped fiber as gain medium is reported. According to the cavity length, the fundamental frequency is 12.24 MHz and two MZM modulators are used to obtain pulse sequences and spectrum of different repetition frequencies. When the stable repetition frequency is 489.7 MHz, the signal-to-noise ratio is 62.32 dB and the 3 dB bandwidth is 0.09 nm. A mode-locked pulse carrier of 489.7 Mb/s was obtained by synchronous digital modulation, the signal-to-noise ratio of the measured eye image was 11.1 dB.
I.IntroductionIn recent decades, due to the needs of equipment production and the development of science and technology, 2 μm fiber laser has been widely valued and developed especially in the medical, beauty and other fields.[1] The 2 μm band is in the safe band of human eyes, it covers the high
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.
