72-fs Er-doped Mamyshev Oscillator

We demonstrated an all-fiber Er-doped Mamyshev oscillator with short pulse duration and high peak power. Through the dispersion management technique and accumulation of sufficient nonlinear phase shift, stable pulses with repetition rate of 6.55 MHz, 20-dB spectral bandwidth of 78.2 nm, pulse duration of 72 fs and peak power of 86 kW were achieved from output coupler (OC) device directly without extra compression. Simulations have been performed to show the direct generation of ultrafast laser pulse from the Mamyshev oscillator based on the extended nonlinear Schrodinger equation. To the best of our knowledge, this is by far the shortest pulse duration, the highest experimental peak power Er-doped Mamyshev oscillator.
