Large-mode-area Soliton Fiber Oscillator Mode-locked with Linear Self-stabilized Interferometer
Abstract
In this work, we investigate an approach to scale up the output pulse energy in an all polarization-maintaining 17 MHz Yb-doped fiber oscillator via implementation of 25 um core-diameter large-mode-area fibers. The artificial saturable absorber in form of a Kerr-type self-stabilized fiber-interferometer enables highly stable mode-locked steady-states in the soliton-like operation regime with 170 mW average output power and a total output pulse energy of ~10 nJ distributed between two output ports. An experimental parameter comparison with a reference oscillator made of 5.5 um core-sized standard fiber-components reveals an increase of pulse energy by a factor of 36 with simultaneously reduced intensity-noise in the high frequency range > 100 kHz.
