Simultaneous picosecond and femtosecond solitons delivered from a nanotube-mode-locked all-fiber laser

Abstract

We propose a compact nanotube-mode-locked all-fiber laser that can simultaneously generate picosecond and femtosecond solitons at different wavelengths. The pulse durations of picosecond and femtosecond solitons are measured to be ∼10.6 ps and ∼466 fs, respectively. Numerical results agree well with the experimental observations and clearly reveal that the dynamic evolutions of the picosecond and femtosecond solitons are qualitatively distinct in the intracavity. Our study presents a simple, stable, low-cost, and dual-scale ultrafast-pulsed laser source suitable for practical applications in optical communications.

An Analytical Scheme for the Analysis of Multi-Hump Solitons

“…Yang et al construct one-, two-and three-soliton solutions to a¯fth-order nonlinear Schr€ odinger equation used to model femtosecond pulses in inhomogeneous optical¯bers in [25]. A compact nanotube-mode-locked all-¯ber laser that can generate picosecond and femtosecond solitons at variable wavelength is presented in [6]. Temporal dissipative solitons that are critical to applications in spectroscopy, astronomy and telecommunications are observed in a continuous-wave laser-driven nonlinear optical microresonator in [8].…”

Q-switched and mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser using PtSe2 as a saturable absorber

“…Q-switching and mode-locking are two main ways to generate pulses [1][2][3][4]. Among the two technologies, saturable absorbers (SAs) play a vital role in passive Q-switching and mode-locking [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Fiber lasers have the advantages of simple structure, small size, low price, and high environmental stability [12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Delivering dispersion-managed soliton and Q-switched pulse in fiber laser based on graphene and nonlinear optical loop mirror

“…Simultaneous picosecond and femtosecond CS were delivered from a fiber laser [32]. Simultaneous mode-locking in 1.55 mm and 2 mm in a fiber laser has been reported [33].…”
