Abstract
This article presents a passively mode-locked fiber laser system based on Ti3C2TX saturable absorber (SA). We successfully achieve diverse mode-locked outputs in the fiber laser, including single-wavelength conventional solitons, bound-state solitons, and dual-wavelength solitons with different mode locking state at each wavelength. Additionally, we observe a frequency division multiplexing phenomenon under single-wavelength mode-locking conditions. The fiber laser demonstrates four switchable operation states, indicating that Ti3C2TX-SA-based mode-locking technology is an effective approach for enhancing the performance of passively mode-locked fiber lasers.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
