The four fiber collimators were connected with the two off-beam AMRs to be responsible for laser propagation in the two AMRs. After passing through the second AMR, the laser beam was incident to the sidewall of the quartz tuning fork (QTF) by the fiber collimator 5 for the excitation of the LITES signal, which realized the superposition of QEPAS signals and LITES signal on a single QTF. The time-division operation of distributed feedback lasers was realized by optical switches to accomplish the detection of C2H2 and CH4. The experimental results showed that the minimum detection limits of C2H2 and CH4 were 2.06 ppmv and 7.14 ppmv, respectively, which proved that the gas sensor had good sensing performance.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141866068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we construct an all-fiber Mamyshev STML laser and experimentally explore the influence of cavity losses on average power. By optimizing spatial mode filtering, regulating intra-cavity nonlinearity and compensating inter-modal group delay differences, spatiotemporal pulses with average power/pulse energy up to 2 W/135 nJ can be obtained with 2.2 ps temporal widths. Our study substantially expands the design possibilities for more powerful all-fiber STML lasers, rendering them much more amenable for practical implementation.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141770037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
