1030nm皮秒级光参量啁啾脉冲放大抽运源

利用低温工作状态下Yb∶YAG再生放大器,对1030nm光纤锁模激光器输出的250pJ的种子光进行放大。电光开关门宽控制种子光在放大器内20程往返,最大单脉冲能量为217μJ,输出频率10Hz,同时由于其增益窄化效应光谱宽度由8.9nm减小到0.3nm,相应的脉宽由18.0ps被压缩到5.5ps,这与理论模拟结果的0.4nm,4.2ps基本吻合。实验结果论证了采用窄增益带宽的再生放大器可以同时实现亚皮秒光参量啁啾脉冲放大(OPCPA)对抽运脉冲宽度和光谱宽度的要求,避免使用光纤光栅对光谱滤波带来的高阶非线性效应。

Nonlinear interaction between optical pulses from high-repetition gain-switched DFB-LD in optical fiber

Interaction forces between propagating pulse pairs from a gain-switched distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) were investigated. The authors discuss the experimental observation of a nonlinear interaction force between the fiber-compressed, gain-switched optical pulses. Optical pulses were generated by a gain-switched 1.55 mu m DFB-LD at a 10 GHz repetition rate, and compressed by compensating for the red-shifted chirping in the optical pulses using a polarization-holding fiber with a 18.7 ps/km/nm normal dispersion at a 1.55 mu m wavelength. The measured interaction force, which was greater than that theoretically predicted, was caused by the wings and/or pedestal associated with copropagating pulses.<>     

A scheme of picosecond pulse shaping using gain saturationcharacteristics of semiconductor laser amplifiers

To obtain high power, well shaped picosecond pulses from gain-switched semiconductor lasers, the use of dynamic gain saturation characteristics of semiconductor laser amplifiers was investigated theoretically and experimentally. A configuration of a reflected-wave amplifier (RWA) with single-side external coupling is introduced for pulse shaping, which is found to be suitable for enhancing dynamic gain saturation. By a combination of a distributed feedback laser oscillator at 1.3 μm in wavelength and a reflected-wave amplifier of 400 μm cavity length with asymmetric facet reflectivities of 0.01% and 30%, single-mode optical pulses with almost no tailing, full width at half maximum of 15 ps, and peak power exceeding 50 mW were obtained without pulse broadening, despite the considerable tail structure of the incident pulse

Continuously wavelength-tunable MQW fabry-perot laser diode pulse source with a fiber-based external cavity

A simple continuously wavelength-tunable fiber ring laser pulse source is demonstrated. Such a source employs a gain-switched multiple quantum-well Fabry-Perot laser diode in a self-seeding scheme and the output pulse wavelength can be tuned continuously via a tunable optical filter. The optical pulses generated exhibit a pulsewidth of 92 ps at the frequency of 2.6 GHz. Within a wide wavelength tuning range of 46 nm, the side-mode suppression ratio and the average power of the output optical pulses obtained are higher than 50.1 dB and 3.3 dBm, respectively, and the pulse spectral stability can be maintained in the whole wavelength tuning range.     

1064-nm DFB laser diode modules applicable to seeder for pulse-on-demand fiber laser systems

Semiconductor DFB (Distributed feedback) laser diodes with an operating wavelength of 1064 nm, which is suitable for pulse-on-demand fiber laser, have been developed. The stable performance of CW and nanosecond/picosecond pulsed operation is reviewed. By applying gain-switching operation with a simple direct modulation technique, 50-ps pulse generation with a stable spectral single-mode property was obtained. For the efficient amplification of the obtained 50-ps pulse, a monolithic semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) was integrated into the DFB lasers. An improved peak power of 300 mW at 50-ps pulse was observed with limited optical noise injection when the synchronous modulation technique of the DFB and the SOA was employed. Short cavity lasers showed a high-frequency response compared to the original DFB lasers and achieved a short pulse width of 13 ps by standard gain-switched operation.     

Generation of 20-fs optical pulses from a gain-switched laser diodeby a four-stage soliton compression technique

7.5-ps optical pulses generated from a gain-switched semiconductor laser at 2 GHz are successfully compressed down to 20 fs using a four-stage fiber soliton pulse compressor consisting of standard single-mode transmission, Er-doped, dispersion-decreasing, and dispersion-flattened fibers, respectively. We have experimentally confirmed that the soliton self-frequency shift plays an important role in obtaining such high compression in very short fibers, and also in minimizing the inherent undesirable pedestal component
