Self-starting low-noise fiber soliton laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report a self-starting passively mode-locked soliton source generating 1-ps-wide pulses. The laser is configured as a ring with an erbium-doped fiber gain medium, a length of conventional fiber that provides the required dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity, and an intracavity multiple-quantum-well optical amplifier that serves as a saturable absorber and pulse stabilizer. The laser exhibits low timing jitter and low amplitude noise.
