Journal ArticleDOI
A Nd: Yag laser pumped soliton self-frequency shifter
TL;DR: In this paper, a tunable femtosecond soliton pulse was generated by means of a soliton temporal narrowing and Raman frequency conversion mechanism in single-mode optical fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thirty fold pulse compression of the pulses from a Q-switched and mode locked Nd:YAG laser
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a laser-based camera operated in stroboscopic mode to measure the variation in the compressed pulsed duration through the pulse train with a circularly scanning streak camera.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Coupled-cavity erbium-fiber lasers incorporating fiber-grating reflectors
TL;DR: Narrow-linewidth erbium-doped fiber lasers of monolithic multiple linear cavity configurations that use intracore fiber grating reflectors are demonstrated and a novel multiple-cavity erBium fiber laser with simultaneous dual single-frequency lasing is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forty times dispersive broadening of femtosecond pulses and complete recompression in a chirped fibre grating
TL;DR: In this paper, a step-chirp, phase masking technique has been used to temporally broaden the 380 fs pulses from an erbium fiber soliton laser operating at 1.56 μm by factors of greater than forty.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation into femtosecond pulse formation in a continuously-pumped passively-mode-locked CPM ring dye laser
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed experimental investigation of the formation of ultrashort pulses in a CW-pumped passively mode-locked CPM dye laser is described, and it is found that it takes approximately 10/sup 4/round trips for the circulating energy in the cavity to reach the level at which the passive mode-locking process is initiated, and a subsequent approximately 10 /sup 3/rounds for the ultrashingort pulse evolution to reach a steady state.
