abstract: We demonstrate an all fiber widely wavelength tunable thulium doped fiber laser (TDFL) mode locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) The tuning range spans 121 nm, from 1862 nm to 1983 nm. The central wavelength is tuned by a grating based tunable filter in the ring laser cavity. To the best of our knowledge, this is so far the most widely wavelength tunable TDFL mode locked by SESAM.

abstract: The rising demand in ultrafast radiation sources has boosted the search for high power and high stability mode locked fiber lasers, particularly at telecom wavelengths. In this work, we demonstrate the first ultrafast mode locked fiber laser relying on InN as saturable absorber, centered at 1.5mm. The saturable absorber consists of a 1 mm thick InN grown on a GaN on sapphire template deposited by molecular beam epitaxy [1] with a 250 nm thick top layer of Al deposited by RF sputtering. This material presents a very high nonlinear optical response, with a saturation fluence of Fsat=490 mJ/cm2 and a large change in reflectance, of approximately the 100% [inset Fig. 1(a) It has been proved that the material can withstand extremely high fluences of 9000 mJ/cm2 without suffering optical damage.

title: Precise Locking the Repetition Rate of a SESAM Mode Locking All Polarization Maintaining Fiber Laser
year: 2017

abstract: Abstract We present a widely tunable all fiber mode locked laser based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) with a linear cavity design. An easy to use tunable bandpass filter based on thin film cavity technology is employed to tune the wavelength. By tuning the filter and adjusting the polarization controller, mode locked operation can be achieved over the range of 1023 nm 1060 nm. With the polarization controller settled, mode locked operation can be preserved and the wavelength can be continuously tuned from 1030 nm to 1053 nm. At 1030 nm, the laser delivers 9.6 mw average output power with 15.4 ps 10.96 MHz pulses at fundamental mode locked operation.

abstract: In this letter, we present a passively mode locked Yb:CALGO oscillator pumped by a 1.2 W single mode fiber coupled laser diode. In semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) mode locking regime, maximum output power of 385 mW with a laser slope efficiency of 40% has been achieved. The pulse duration of the mode locked pulse is 630 fs, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the spectrum is measured as only about 2.7?nm. By finely tuning the laser cavity, the laser starts to work in the SESAM combined Kerr lens mode locking regime. Compared with SESAM mode locking only, a maximum reduction factor of 6.33 in pulse duration has been achieved by the combined mode locking mechanism. By optimizing the group delay dispersion (GDD) inside the laser cavity, the shortest pulse duration of 70 fs and FWHM of 19.8?nm at output power of 210 mW has been realized.

abstract: A new design hybrid passive harmonic mode locked fiber laser with integrated Faraday rotator and SESAM in sigma configuration is built. The integrated SESAM Faraday rotator acts as the mode locker. A MZ modulator provides amplitude modulation to stabilize and order optical pulses. Stable evenly spaced femtosecond optical pulses are generated.

abstract: A major design goal for femtosecond fiber lasers is to increase the output power but not at the cost of increasing the noise level or narrowing the bandwidth. Here, we perform a computational study to optimize the cavity design of a femtosecond fiber laser that is passively modelocked with a semiconductor saturable absorbing mirror (SESAM) We use dynamical methods that are more than a thousand times faster than standard evolutionary methods. We show that we can obtain higher pulse energies and hence higher output powers by simultaneously increasing the output coupling ratio, the gain, and the anomalous group delay dispersion. We can obtain output pulses that are from 5 to 15 times the energy of the pulse in the current experimental design with no penalty in the noise level or bandwidth.
