Soliton generation from an actively mode-locked fiber laser incorporating an electro-optic fiber modulator

Opt Express. 2012 Jan 30;20(3):2905-10. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.002905.

Abstract

This work demonstrates an actively mode-locked fiber laser operating in soliton regime and employing an all-fiber electro-optic modulator. Nonlinear polarization rotation is utilized for femtosecond pulse generation. Stable operation of the all-fiber ring laser is readily achieved at a fundamental repetition rate of 2.6 MHz and produces 460 fs pulses with a spectral bandwidth of 5.3 nm.
