摘要
In this paper, we have demonstrated a dispersion-managed, high-power, Tm-Ho co-doped ultrashort pulse fiber laser using a single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) dispersed in polyimide film. An in-line type spectral filter was developed to control the output pulse spectra. Two SWNT films with different modulation depths were examined as a mode-locker. Normal dispersion fiber was used in the fiber laser oscillator, and dependence on net cavity dispersion was investigated. Passive mode-locking was achieved in a wide dispersion range, from -0.319 to +0.101 ps(2). Stable soliton mode-locking operation and dissipative soliton mode-locking operations were observed. The pumping efficiency was similar to 3 times higher than that in a Tm-doped fiber laser with a similar configuration. The developed fiber laser showed self-start and stable operations, and this laser is useful for practical applications.
