Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid mode-locked fiber laser based on the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) and the nanomaterial saturable absorber. Due to the presence of the NPR filter, we obtain L-band wavelength-switchable conventional solitons (CSs) and bound states (BSs). The tightly BSs and loosely BS, as well as the "2 + 1" type BS, are also experimentally observed. We study the formation of CSs and BSs by numerical simulations, the results of which are consistent with the experimental results. Our work deepens the understanding of the formation of BSs in hybrid mode-locked fiber lasers and provides new solutions for L-band light sources.
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.
