60 nJ, 95 fs environmentally stable Er-doped fiber laser system
|
摘要
We demonstrate here an environmentally stable and extremely compactable Er-doped fiber laser system capable of delivering sub-100-fs temporal duration and tens of nanojoules at a repetition rate of 10 MHz. This laser source employs a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode-locked soliton laser to generate seed pulses. A singlemode-fiber amplifier and a double-cladding-fiber amplifier(both with double-pass configuration) are bridged by a divider and used to manage the dispersion map and boost the soliton pulses. By using 64 replicas, pulses with as high as 60 n J energy within 95 fs duration are obtained at 10 MHz, corresponding to 600 kW peak power.
