44.6 fs pulses from a 257 MHz Er:fiber laser mode-locked by biased NALM
Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. Schematic of the mode-locked fiber laser based on the NALM. HWP, half-wave plate; PBS: polarizing beam splitter; WDM‐Collimator, a combination of a collimator and wavelength division multiplexer; FR, Faraday rotator; HR, high reflection mirror.
Fig. 2. The average output power as a function of pump 2 power. Pump 1 power was fixed to 650 mW.
Fig. 4. Measured spectra of output pulses. The modulation state of the spectra can be changed by rotating the λ / 8 wave plate in the cavity. (a) Highly modulated spectrum, with an output power of 104 mW. (b) Less modulated spectrum, with an output power of 135 mW.
