Abstract
We present an experimental demonstration of a pulse-state switchable Tm-doped fiber laser, mode-locked using linear-cavity nonlinear polarization rotation (LNPR). Compared to previous LNPR lasers with free-space structures, our laser cavity employs an all-fiber design, which enhances the laser flexibility. The laser operates in three states within a large anomalous dispersion, including conventional soliton, multi-pulse, and noise-like pulse states. This research provides an effective solution for realizing a multifunctional Tm-doped fiber laser with a simple and stable configuration, making it both appealing and promising for various practical applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
