摘要：

We demonstrate generation of sub-100 fs pulses at 1.5 mu m in a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser using a 45 degrees-tilted fiber grating element. The laser features a genuine all-fiber configuration. Based on the unique polarization properties of the 45 degrees-tilted fiber grating, we managed to produce sub-100 fs laser pulses through proper dispersion management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the shortest pulse generated from mode-locked lasers with fiber gratings. The output pulse has an average power of 8 mW, with a repetition rate of 47.8 MHz and pulse energy of 1.68 nJ. The performance of laser also matches well the theoretical simulations.
