The method presented gives an accurate result with the need for little computational power and no need for specific software. The devices, fabricated in a silicon nitride platform, are characterized for their spectral responses. The spectral processor is also characterized for both its amplitude modulation as well as the phase modulation. The phase modulation is characterized using optical frequency domain interferometry.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 6","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10521521","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140889282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hybrid mode-locked (hybrid-ML) fiber laser integrates the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technology with the CuO-ZnO-SA, producing remarkable characteristics with a central wavelength of 1045 nm, a 3-dB bandwidth spanning 18.26 nm, an ultra-short pulse width of 98 fs, a repetition frequency of 1.96 MHz, and an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 51 dB. This research demonstrates a substantial enhancement in laser performance compared to NPR mode-locking alone. Notably, the pulse width experiences a significant compression, reduced by 39 fs, while the signal-to-noise ratio sees a noteworthy improvement of 11 dB. Furthermore, when contrasted with passively mode-locked pulse lasers relying solely on NPR technology, the hybrid passively mode-locked fiber laser attains a substantial reduction in output pulse width, surpassing 98 fs. These findings show the significant potential of the hybrid-ML system in the realm of ultrafast lasers, offering a promising avenue for future applications in cutting-edge research and technology.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 4","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140832560","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}

We compare results obtained with the WI and SI models to the proposed model by simulating 4 different highly doped (7 mol.%) fiber lasers previously reported in the literature. Laser efficiencies and powers are reproduced with great accuracy. In addition, four other fiber laser systems based on erbium concentrations varying from 1–6 mol.% are also simulated with good accuracy using the proposed model with the exact same set of spectroscopic parameters, which confirms its validity for various erbium doping concentrations. Redshifting of laser wavelength is also taken into account by considering the full cross section spectra and computing signal powers over several wavelength channels.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 2","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140018546","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}

The treatment consists of solving a coupled system of equations for the concentration of electrons in the active medium and those for the amplitudes of spectral components derived from Maxwell’s equations. Their numerical solution demonstrates the specific asymmetry of experimental laser spectra under microwave modulation of the injection current. The presented method also accounts for the simultaneous modulation at multiple frequencies. We demonstrate that the laser spectrum can be controlled to some extent, namely, its carrier can be suppressed and the ratio of the first sidebands powers can be simultaneously changed by additional modulation of the injection current at doubled frequency. In addition, we show that the phase difference of these components is stable under variations of modulation parameters in a relatively wide range.","PeriodicalId":13200,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics","volume":"60 2","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139946262","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}
