Abstract

We present a first-hand view of the early origins of femtosecond fiber technology built upon the foundations of ultrafast optics established in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. We discuss what considerations led to the establishment of early femtosecond oscillator designs and how they have been improved over the years. Another aspect of this article deals with the road to ever increasing pulse energies and average powers that can be achieved based on various amplification techniques. We go on to review the journey toward achieving greater precision enabled via the invention of frequency combs and the incorporation of frequency comb technology within the realm of fiber optics. The paper concludes with a brief overview of some of the most important fiber laser applications and provides a preview of what may lie ahead in the future.
飞秒光纤激光器对技术和科学的影响
我们以第一手资料介绍了飞秒光纤技术的早期起源,该技术建立在六十年代、七十年代和八十年代建立的超快光学基础之上。我们讨论了早期飞秒振荡器设计的形成原因,以及多年来如何对其进行改进。本文的另一个主题是基于各种放大技术不断提高脉冲能量和平均功率。我们接着回顾了通过发明频率梳和将频率梳技术融入光纤领域实现更高精度的历程。最后,本文简要概述了一些最重要的光纤激光应用,并对未来的发展进行了展望。

期刊介绍: Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
