Experimental and theoretical studies of complex pulse evolutions ina passively mode-locked ring dye laser

A detailed experimental and theoretical study has been made of the role of group velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation arising from time-dependent absorption saturation and the optical Kerr effect in a Rhodamine 110 CPM dye laser. Periodic pulse evolutions are observed, when both positive and negative frequency chirp are present, that are reminiscent of those governed by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation but that are, in fact, distinctly different. Similar results have been obtained with the standard Rhodamine 6G system, and it is believed that the theoretical model is generally applicable to any passively mode-locked femtosecond dye laser. An important consequence of these results is that they permit the absolute value of the group velocity dispersion in the laser cavity to be estimated     

A simple passively mode-locked CW dye laser

The operation of a simple passively mode-locked 5800-Å dye laser is reported.

Long pulse DCM dye laser

We describe a flashlamp pumped dye laser, incorporating both prepulse and simmer enhancement, which is capable of kW outputs for the 0.1 ms duration of the flashlamp pulse. The laser has been operated with the new dye DCM; we find that using oxygen or nitrogen gas in the dye solution greatly increases both laser amplitude and pulse duration.     

双SESAM被动锁模超短脉冲光纤激光器

针对基于半导体可饱和吸收体（Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror,SESAM）被动锁模光纤激光器脉冲底座宽和脉冲能量小的问题展开研究,设计了一种线型腔结构的双SESAM锁模超短脉冲光纤激光器。首先,通过增加SESAM个数的方式使得光脉冲在谐振腔中的一个振荡周期内多次经过可饱和吸收体,有效增加了可饱和吸收体对光脉冲前后沿的吸收,抑制了因泵浦功率过大而产生的调Q锁模效应,有助于压缩脉冲宽度、提高单脉冲能量,摆脱了因SESAM调制深度较低而对压缩脉冲宽度和提高单脉冲能量造成的限制。其次,通过在系统中引入一段正色散光纤,降低了因峰值功率过高而引起的非线性效应,进一步提高了脉冲能量。最后,在相同调制深度及饱和通量条件下,与单SESAM锁模相比,双SESAM锁模光纤激光器输出脉冲宽度由693 fs降低到449 fs,缩短了35.2%,脉冲能量由2.92 nJ提高到5.31 nJ,上升45%。     

被动锁模光纤激光器中双波长脉冲的产生

Injection locking of a passively mode-locked laser

We present and analyze a model of a passively mode-locked laser, which is subjected to injection of a coherent pulse train. The model, based on soliton perturbation theory, predicts the possibility of coherent injection locking, and gives analytical estimates for the locking ranges. The ability to simultaneously lock the timing and the phase of the output pulses of a mode-locked laser to an injected, coherent pulse train is shown. The interesting limiting case of phase locking the mode-locked laser to a constant amplitude external injection, is addressed with implications for future coherent soliton communication systems
