Saturable Bragg reflector (SBR) mode-locked Er-doped fiber lasers around 1550nm with a repetition rate of 1GHz are demonstrated. Key steps to obtain stable, femtosecond pulses by avoiding thermal damage of the SBR are discussed. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3280) Laser amplifiers; (140.3500) Lasers, erbium; (320.7090) Ultrafast lasers

396 fs pulse from an asynchronous mode-locked erbium fiber laser with 2.5 12 GHz repetition rate

Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2008

We have demonstrated an Erbium fiber laser hybridly mode-locked by a phase modulator in conjunction with intracavity soliton effect producing pulses as short as 396 fs at 10 GHz. The laser repetition rate is variable from 2 to 12 GHz keeping pulses with duration shorter than 500 fs in this range. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Birefringence-Induced Trains of High-Rate Pulses in a Mode-Locked Fiber Laser

2009

The output of a mode-locked erbium-doped ring fiber laser incorporating a section of a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber is investigated in both numerical simulations and experiments. With proper inline polarization control, the laser can be set to emit a train of pulses, separated by the differential group delay of the PM section. Repetition rates as high as 500 GHz are experimentally

Sub-100 fs mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser using a 45°-tilted fiber grating

Optics express, 2013

We demonstrate generation of sub-100 fs pulses at 1.5 µm in a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser using a 45°-tilted fiber grating element. The laser features a genuine all-fiber configuration. Based on the unique polarization properties of the 45°-tilted fiber grating, we managed to produce sub-100 fs laser pulses through proper dispersion management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the shortest pulse generated from mode-locked lasers with fiber gratings. The output pulse has an average power of 8 mW, with a repetition rate of 47.8 MHz and pulse energy of 1.68 nJ. The performance of laser also matches well the theoretical simulations.
