Narrow-bandgap materials for optoelectronics applications

Xiao-Hui Li et al.

Summary: In this paper, the progress of narrow-bandgap materials in terms of nonlinear optical properties, band structure, preparation methods, and applications is reviewed. These materials exhibit strong nonlinear absorption characteristics when interacting with short pulse lasers, leading to optical limiting or saturable absorption. Some of these materials have been utilized for generating ultrashort pulses.

Dispersion management of a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror-based erbium-doped fiber laser

Zbigniew Laszczych et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the output pulses of the oscillator have significantly different characteristics within different dispersion ranges, with one output providing higher quality pulses and the other offering ultrashort pulses. Even in the near-zero dispersion regime, the laser can directly generate ultrashort pulses with high energy.

Mode-locked femtosecond polarization-maintaining Yb-doped fiber laser with a figure-nine configuration

Hongwei Chu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated a mode-locked polarization-maintaining Yb-doped fiber laser in a figure-of-nine configuration, generating high-quality femtosecond pulses in a stable, self-started operation. Dispersion management was achieved by inserting a pair of gratings into the laser resonator, resulting in experimental results that were in good agreement with numerical analyses based on the nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Buildup dynamics of a pulsating dissipative soliton in an all-normal-dispersion PM Yb-doped fiber laser with a NALM

Decai Deng et al.

Summary: Pulsating solitons have been observed in various passively mode-locked fiber lasers, with their formation dynamics not fully understood. This study experimentally captured the formation processes of both single and two pulsating solitons in an all-normal-dispersion laser, revealing that pulsation originates from background noise and goes through characteristic stages such as an unstable Q-switch, spectral shaping, broadening, oscillating, and narrowing. These findings can enhance the understanding of pulsating behaviors and provide new insights into the dynamic phenomenon of nonlinear optical systems.

Reduction of excess intensity noise of picosecond Yb soliton fiber lasers in a > 10-mW power regime

Gaoyu Dai et al.

Summary: By increasing the intracavity dispersion and reducing the pump power, excess intensity noise of soliton fiber lasers in the average power regime exceeding 10 mW can be reduced to the shot noise level. This strategy was demonstrated with a polarization-maintaining picosecond Yb fiber laser mode-locked by a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror.
