Study on the chaotic dynamics of the mode-locked fiber ring laser

In this paper, we study the chaotic dynamics of the mode-locked fiber laser by numerical simulation. The structures of the passively mode-locked fiber laser and the actively mode-locked fiber laser are studied by modeling and analysis. By appropriately adjusting the small signal gain of the optical fiber amplifier, we observe the period-doubling bifurcations and route to chaos in the passively mode-locked fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation effect. Chaos in the actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser is obtained by adjusting the elliptic modulus parameter of the active modulator and the intra-cavity length. Simulation results have theoretical significance for the practical application of chaotic soliton communication.     

Influences of GVD on the characteristics of soliton in a passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser

In this paper, the characteristics of soliton in a passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser modeled by a non-distributed model are numerically investigated with the split-step Fourier method. Based on the analysis and model, sech2-shaped soliton is obtained by controlling the group velocity dispersion （GVD） and small-signal gain of the gain fiber. The law that the dispersion influences the characteristics of soliton in the mode-locked fiber laser is researched in net-cavity averaged anomalous dispersion regime.

Using passively mode-locked femtosecond (fs) fiber laser and polarization maintaining fibers, the compact system of wavelength-tunable femtosecond (fs) fundamental soliton pulse generation is realized.

Influences of finite gain bandwidth on dissipative solitons in passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser

Dissipative solitons in the passively mode-locked fiber lasers based on the gain medium of erbium-doped (Er-doped) fiber have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In this paper, we study the influences of finite gain bandwidth on dissipative solitons in passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser. We investigate the influences of the finite gain bandwidth on pulse duration, pulse peak power and single pulse energy of dissipative solitons. The results show that gain bandwidth of the gain medium has influence on dissipative soliton characteristics in passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser. The research in this paper has important theoretical and practical significance.     

Generation of high-power femtosecond pulse and octave-spanning ultrabroad supercontinuum using all-fiber system

We present the all-fiber system for amplification of high peak power femtosecond pulses. The 260-fs pulses are generated in the passively mode-locked Er-doped fiber (EDF) laser and amplified using the EDF amplifier system. The average and peak powers of the generated pulses are 215 mW and 43.2 kW, respectively, and the pulsewidth is 42.3 fs. Then the amplified pulses are coupled into polarization-maintaining highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber and octave-spanning supercontinuum is generated. The spectral range is widely expanded from 980 to 2570 nm. To the best of our knowledge, this bandwidth is the maximum one in this wavelength region.
