This book was released on 2012 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiber lasers offer several clear advantages over solid-state systems: compact design, thermal management, minimal alignment, spatial beam quality and low cost. Consequently, fiber systems have become a valued option for applications requiring continuous-wave or long-pulse operation. However, for pulsed operation the benefits of fiber come at the cost of tighter confinement of the light, leading to the accumulation of nonlinear optical effects which can rapidly degrade the pulse. For this reason, the performance of mode-locked fiber lasers has until recently lagged behind that of their solid-state counterparts. Nonetheless, recent developments in managing nonlinearity have led to mode-locked fiber systems with performance that directly competes with solid-state systems. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the ultrashort pulse propagation physics which helps to render the nonlinear limitations of fiber systems obsolete. From the development of dissipative soliton mode-locking, which allows for an order of magnitude increase in pulse energies, to mode-locking based on self-similar pulse evolution which allows for the shortest pulses from a fiber laser to date, this thesis covers recent significant developments in laser mode-locking in systems featuring normal group-velocity dispersion. In addition, preceding pulse evolutions which were investigated experimentally, such as lasers based on self-similar propagation in a passive fiber and so-called "wave-breaking free" lasers are analyzed numerically and integrated theoretically with recent developments. Finally, several notable future directions in fiber laser research are identified and a new technique for the possible generation of ever-higher performance mode-locked fiber lasers is explored.

This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book provides a comprehensive treatment of the design and application of Mode Locked Lasers and Short Pulse Generation. With the advances in semiconductor laser and fiber laser technologies in the 1980s to now, these devices have been made compact, refined, and developed for a wide range of applications including further scientific studies.Semiconductor mode-locked lasers are stable pulse sources and can be made over a range of wavelengths where laser operation is feasible. Rare earth doped fiber lasers or planar waveguides extend this range further and can provide compact pulsed sources. The principles of operation, analysis, design and fabrication of these sources are described. Recent results on high repetition rate and high-power pulse generation from these compacts sources are also described, together with current and future directions of application of these types of laser sources.Mode-Locked Lasers: Introduction to Ultrafast Semiconductor and Fiber Lasers is self-contained and unified in presentation. It can be used as an advanced text by graduate students and by practicing engineers. It is also suitable for non-experts who wish to have an overview of mode-locked lasers and pulse generation. The explanations in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader and complete enough to provide the necessary background to explore the subject further.

Download or read book Femtosecond Laser Pulses written by Mounir Khelladi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this contribution some basic properties of femtosecond laser pulse are summarized. In sections 2.1,Äì2.5 the generation of femtosecond laser pulses via mode locking is described in simple physical terms. In section 2.6 we deal with measurement of ultrashort laser pulses. The characterization of ultrashort pulses with respect to amplitude and phase is therefore based on optical correlation techniques that make of the short pulse itself. In section 3 we start with the linear properties of ultrashort light pulses. However, due to the large bandwidth, the linear dispersion is responsible for dramatic effects. To describe and manage such dispersion effects a mathematical description of an ultrashort laser pulse is given first before we continue with methods how to change the temporal shape via the frequency domain. The chapter ends with a paragraph of the wavelet representation of an ultrashort laser pulse.

Book excerpt: Ultrashort pulses in mode-locked lasers are receiving focused attention from researchers looking to apply them in a variety of fields, from optical clock technology to measurements of the fundamental constants of nature and ultrahigh-speed optical communications. Ultrashort pulses are especially important for the next generation of ultrahigh-speed optical systems and networks operating at 100 Gbps per carrier. Ultra Fast Fiber Lasers: Principles and Applications with MATLAB® Models is a self-contained reference for engineers and others in the fields of applied photonics and optical communications. Covering both fundamentals and advanced research, this book includes both theoretical and experimental results. MATLAB files are included to provide a basic grounding in the simulation of the generation of short pulses and the propagation or circulation around nonlinear fiber rings. With its unique and extensive content, this volume— Covers fundamental principles involved in the generation of ultrashort pulses employing fiber ring lasers, particularly those that incorporate active optical modulators of amplitude or phase types Presents experimental techniques for the generation, detection, and characterization of ultrashort pulse sequences derived from several current schemes Describes the multiplication of ultrashort pulse sequences using the Talbot diffraction effects in the time domain via the use of highly dispersive media Discusses developments of multiple short pulses in the form of solitons binding together by phase states Elucidates the generation of short pulse sequences and multiple wavelength channels from a single fiber laser The most practical short pulse sources are always found in the form of guided wave photonic structures. This minimizes problems with alignment and eases coupling into fiber transmission systems. In meeting these requirements, fiber ring lasers operating in active mode serve well as suitable ultrashort pulse sources. It is only a matter of time before scientists building on this research develop the practical and easy-to-use applications that will make ultrahigh-speed optical systems universally available.
