Femtosecond Tm–Ho co-doped fiber laser using a bulk-structured Bi 2 Se 3 topological insulator

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond mode-locked thulium-holmium (Tm-Ho) co-doped fiber laser incorporating a saturable absorber (SA) based on a bulk-structured bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) topological insulator (TI) was demonstrated.

Sub-200 fs, 344 MHz mode-locked Tm-doped fiber laser

TL;DR: To the best of the knowledge, the achieved repetition rate represents the highest value of fundamentally NPE mode-locked fiber lasers at ∼2µm, while the average output power is also higher than the previously reported 2 µm ultrafast single-mode fiber oscillators.

Endlessly single-mode photonic crystal fiber.

TL;DR: An effective-index model confirms that an all-silica optical fiber made by embedding a central core in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a micrometer-spaced hexagonal array of air holes can be single mode for any wavelength.

Visible continuum generation in air–silica microstructure optical fibers with anomalous dispersion at 800 nm

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate experimentally that air-silica microstructure optical fibers can exhibit anomalous dispersion at visible wavelengths, and exploit this feature to generate an optical continuum 550 THz in width, extending from the violet to the infrared.

77-fs pulse generation from a stretched-pulse mode-locked all-fiber ring laser

TL;DR: By incorporating a section of large positive-dispersion fiber in an all-fiber erbium ring laser, a fully self-starting source of 77-fs pulse with 90 pJ of energy and greater than 1 kW of peak power at a 45-MHz repetition rate is obtained.
