Direct Generation of 4.6-nJ 78.9-fs Dissipative Solitons in an All-Fiber Net-Normal-Dispersion Er-Doped Laser

We have demonstrated the direct generation of 4.6-nJ 78.9-fs ultrashort pulses with 58 kW peak power in an all-fiber net-normal-dispersion oscillator. Such high peak power is a record in an all-fiber oscillator and is comparable to chirped-pulse amplification systems. The corresponding spectrum has...

Description
Summary:We have demonstrated the direct generation of 4.6-nJ 78.9-fs ultrashort pulses with 58 kW peak power in an all-fiber net-normal-dispersion oscillator. Such high peak power is a record in an all-fiber oscillator and is comparable to chirped-pulse amplification systems. The corresponding spectrum has steep spectral edges, which is the typical shape of dissipative solitons (DS). Also, we find that the spectral width is tunable from 40 to 58 nm by adjusting polarization controllers, and the pulse duration can be tuned from 1.7 ps to 120 fs through increasing the pump power, which is attractive to applications. Besides, we demonstrate experimentally the relationship between spectral width and the pump power of DS laser for the first time.
