783-MHz fundamental repetition rate all-fiber ring laser mode-locked by carbon nanotubes
Maolin Dai, Bowen Liu, Yifan Ma +5
We demonstrate a 783-MHz fundamental repetition rate mode-locked Er-doped all-fiber ring laser with a pulse width of 623 fs. By using carbon nanotubes (CNT) saturable absorber (SA)…
Mode-Locked Fiber Laser with up to 19 kHz Wavelength Sweep Rate via External Pump LD Modulation
Guanyu Ye, Maolin Dai, Bowen Liu +4
For the first time, we introduce a rapid wavelength-swept, passively mode-locked fiber laser in an all-polarization-maintaining and all-fiber configuration. Achieving an exceptiona…
Temperature dependent multi-pulse threshold due to SWCNT/PDMS saturable absorber
Rhona L Hamilton, Moeri Horiuchi, Bowen Liu +3
The threshold pump power for modelocking decreased by 18% when the temperature was increased from 25 to 100 degrees C, where a SWCNT/PDMS coated tapered fiber was used as the satur…
Rapid-scanned and self-corrected repetition rates enabled in a bidirectional polarization-multiplexed fiber laser
Bowen Liu, Maolin Dai, Takuma Shirahata +3
Repetition-rate-scanned lasers are practical in accordion frequency comb generation that serves as a variable gearbox connecting optical and radio wave domains. Rapid and wide-rang…
