“…In particular, in CW-pumped YDFLs with a low-Q-factor cavity, self-induced laser line sweeping (SLLS) at low (up to ∼1.2 thresholds) pump powers was first observed in 2011 [6,7] and subsequently explored in many other FLs [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Meanwhile, at higher pump powers, irregular generation of powerful ('self-Q-switched', SQS) spikes or their bunches [3,5,[17][18][19][20][21][22] was observed, frequently characterized by unusual statistics, and referred to as 'extreme events' or 'rogue-waves' (RWs) [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. It was realized that a transition from the SLLS regime to SQS-RW operation with increasing pump power occurs under the action of nonlinear processes, such as stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering (SBS/SRS) [8, 17-22, 27, 28, 31-34].…”

Here, we report the unusual behavior of an ytterbium-doped fiber laser with a low-Q-factor cavity characterized by a variety of qualitatively different regimes arising as a result of increasing pump power: from amplified spontaneous emission via self-induced laser line sweeping and self-Q-switching, to narrow-band ‘thermal-light’ emission. Special attention is paid to a discussion of the statistical and coherent properties of light released by the laser system in the considered operational regimes.

We report random noise pulsed regime of an ytterbium-doped fiber laser arranged in common Fabry-Perot configuration. We show that the laser output obeys the photon statistics inherent to narrowband amplified spontaneous emission and that the noise pulsing is properly addressed in terms of probability density and autocorrelation functions. Our novel approach reveals, in particular, that the regime’s coherence time dramatically shortens, from few ns to tens ps, with increasing laser power.

We report the results of an experimental study of an ytterbium-doped fiber laser with low Q-factor cavity. We demonstrate that the laser operates in two randomly alternating sub-regimes, quasi-CW (QCW) and self-Q-switching (SQS), the latter ignited by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We show that probability of each sub-regime depends on pump power: QCW dominates slightly above the laser threshold while SQS pulsing prevails at higher pump powers. We also discuss the featuring details of QCW sub-regime and its role in instabilities (jittering) of SBS-boosted SQS pulsing as well as the statistical properties of the latter.
