For the first time, we introduce a rapid wavelength-swept, passively mode-locked fiber laser in an all-polarization-maintaining and all-fiber configuration. Achieving an exceptional wavelength sweep rate of up to 19 kHz through external…

We investigate the self-induced turbulence of high repetition rate laser filaments over a wide range of average powers (1 mW to 100 W) and its sensitivity to external atmospheric turbulence. Although both externally-imposed and…

We demonstrate a gain-switched thulium fiber laser that can be continuously tuned over 140 nm, while maintaining stable nanosecond single-pulse operation. To the best of our knowledge, this system represents the broadest tuning range for a…

Broad-area semiconductor lasers are employed in many high-power applications, however, their spatio-temporal dynamics is complex and intrinsically unstable due to the interaction of several transverse lasing modes. A dynamical and…

Repetition-rate-scanned lasers are practical in accordion frequency comb generation that serves as a variable gearbox connecting optical and radio wave domains. Rapid and wide-range scanned repetition rate can benefit versatile purposes,…

Generally speaking, the self-sweeping effect relies on the dynamical grating formed in a gain fiber. Here, the normal self-sweeping was generated in a pump-free ytterbium-doped fiber which serves as a fiber saturable absorber and is…

A thulium-doped fiber laser operating quasi-continuous-wave generated 198 W of instantaneous output power in 0.2-ms pulses at 50 Hz repetition rate. The duty cycle becomes 1% and the average output power 2.0 W. This was cladding-pumped with…

Chaos in semiconductor lasers or other optical systems has been intensively studied in the past two decades. However, modulation around threshold has received much less attention, in particular in gain-modulated semiconductor lasers. In…

We report a high-energy, bidirectional, dissipative soliton mode-locked fiber laser operating in the 1550 nm normal-dispersion regime. By leveraging intracavity dispersion management and a Lyot filtering mechanism, the laser achieves…

It has been known for quite some time that spinning polygon, and similar, swept lasers used in OCT favor the short to long wavelength sweep direction because of four wave mixing in the gain medium. Here we have reformulated the problem in…

Random lasers with low spatial coherence have important potential applications in high quality imaging and displaying. Here, a random laser with tunable angular spectra is proposed and fabricated through directly coupling an asymmetric…

We report on a series of experiments on the dynamics of spontaneous emission controlled nanolasers. The laser cavity is a photonic crystal slab cavity, embedding self-assembled quantum dots as gain material. The implementation of cavity…

A hallmark of spin-lasers, injected with spin-polarized carriers, is their threshold behavior with the onset of stimulated emission. Unlike the single threshold in conventional lasers with unpolarized carriers, two thresholds are expected…

A color-switchable random laser is designed through directly coupling random laser with a commercial optical fiber. By using a simple approach of selectively coating the random gain layer on the surface of fiber, the red and yellow random…

We report the spatial beam self-cleaning in bi-tapered conventional multimode fibers (MMFs) with different tapered lengths. Through the introduction of the bi-tapered structure in MMFs, the input beam with poor beam quality from a…

We demonstrate mode-locking of a thulium-doped fiber laser operating at 1.94\mu m, using a graphene-based saturable absorber. The laser outputs 3.6ps pulses, with~0.4nJ energy and an amplitude fluctuation~0.5%, at 6.46MHz. This is a simple,…

We report on a monolithic thulium fiber laser with 567 W output power at 1970 nm, which is the highest power reported so far directly from a thulium oscillator. This is achieved by optimization of the splice parameters for the active fiber…

Flexible and tensile wavelength-tunable micrometer-sized random lasers in the form of microporous polymer fiber are demonstrated. The fibers are fabricated by directly drawing from an aqueous mixture and subsequently selective chemical…

A tunable and switchable multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser based on a new type tunable comb filter is proposed and demonstrated. By adjusting the polarization controllers, dual-function operation of the channel spacing…

We report the first mode-locked fiber laser to operate in the femtosecond regime well beyond 3 {\mu}m. The laser uses dual-wavelength pumping and non-linear polarisation rotation to produce 3.5 {\mu}m wavelength pulses with minimum duration…
