摘要
The compact system of electronically controlled highspeed wavelength-tunable femtosecond (fs) soliton pulse generation is realized for the first time using a passively mode-locked fs fiber laser, a polarization maintaining optical fiber, and an acoustooptic (A-O) modulator. The wavelength of the output pulses can be continuously tuned simply by controlling the input voltage into the A-O modulator. The wavelength of the soliton pulses can be changed at 2.5-mus intervals. Wavelength stabilization, time division wavelength multiplexed soliton pulse generation, and wavelength scanner have been demonstrated.
