Promotion of pulse peak power by halving the repetition rate based on a vector soliton

Abstract

We report on an all-fiber mode-locked repetition-rate-switch pulse operation in a Yb-doped fiber laser based on a polarization rotation vector soliton. The polarization controller (PC) in a fiber loop and a polarization-dependent isolator at the output port are incorporated into the laser resonator at the switch of the repetition rate. By adjusting the PC in the cavity, the mode locking can be switched between the fundamental repetition rate and half of it with a tiny pulse width change. Also, the halved pulse exhibits unique properties: a huge promotion in energy and peak power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first all-fiber seed source with a passive switch of the repetition rate based on a vector soliton.
