Exploitation of optical nonlinearities for enhanced mode locking in coupled cavity lasers

Abstract

During the past several years the combined effects of intensity-induced self-phase modulation (SRM) and controlled group velocity dispersion (GVD) have been exploited in intracavity and extracavity schemes for laser pulse compression and improved mode locking. For the particular case of a fiber-based control cavity that was suitably coupled to the main cavity of a synchronously pumped KCI:TI color center laser, Mollenauer and Stolen1 first demonstrated their so-called soliton laser. With a special dispersion-flattened negative GVD fiber, it was reported that second-order solitons could be established with excellent stability, and pulses as short as 50 fs were subsequently obtained.2
