Abstract
This work reports higher order LP11 modes in ultrafast mode-locked fiber laser at the O-band regime. The mode-locking was achieved by using bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) as an optical modulator in a praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber (PDFF) laser which operates at 1300.5 nm. Bi2Te3 was prepared by liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) process and then it was drop-casted onto the arc-shaped fiber, which behaves as an optical modulator. The mode-locking was obtained within the pump power range of 106.8 to 133.2 mW. The pulse repetition rate was at 0.407 MHz with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 53.4 dB. The ultrafast pulses of 890 fs duration with a pulse energy of 2.4 nJ were achieved. At the output, by using the offset splice spot (OSS) technique the higher-order modes were excited in the two-mode fiber (TMF). These higher-order modes were LP11 modes with a two-lobe structure visualized using the Thorlabs beam profiler.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
