In this paper, a demonstration of performance of a multi-wavelength Brillouin Erbium Fiber Laser (BEFL) with double Brillouin spacing (DBS) output comb and Q-switching characteristics featuring a figure-of-eight configuration is presented. It utilizes a four-port circulator to discriminate the odd and even order Stokes lines which allows, using 7 km long dispersion shifted fiber (DSF), the generation of a spectrum with DBS, multi-wavelength comb of nine lasing lines and a 0.16 nm spacing. The Q-switched pulse trains are obtained from the proposed BEFL configured with the DSF and pumped at 1480 nm and power ranging from 20 mW to 40 mW based on relaxation oscillation technique. It has the highest repetition rate of 609 kHz and the smallest pulse width of 0.73 μs at the pump power of 40 mW. The highest pulse energy of 6.15 nJ is obtained at pump power of 30 mW. The repetition rate and pulse width of the BEFL are reduced by replacing the DSF with 10 km long nonzero dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF).

Dark Pulse

We have experimentally demonstrated domain-wall (DW) dark pulses from a thulium-doped fiber laser incorporating a topological insulator saturable absorber (SA). The bulk-structured Bi2Te3 was used as the SA, which was constructed on a fiber ferrule platform through the deposition of the Bi2Te3 mixed with distilled water. The DW dark pulses were generated from the thulium-doped fiber laser cavity with a dual wavelength at 1956 nm and 1958 nm. The dark pulse width and the repetition rate were measured as ~10.3 ns and ~20.7 MHz over the pump power of ~80 mW, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first demonstrated generation of the DW dark pulse from a thulium-doped fiber laser using nanomaterial-based SA.

An 1892.4 nm ultrafast passive Q-switched fiber laser is demonstrated by using Thulium-doped fiber (TDF) in conjunction with a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The MWCNTs film is sandwiched between two FC/PC fiber connectors and integrated into the laser cavity with 802 nm pump for Q-switching pulse generation. The pulse repetition rate can be tuned from 3.8 to 4.6 kHz while the corresponding pulse width reduces from 22.1 to 18.4 μs as the pump power is increased from 187.3 to 194.2 mW. A higher performance Q-switched Thulium-doped fiber laser (TDFL) is expected to be achieved with the optimization of the MWCNT-SA saturable absorber and laser cavity.

In this work, a Graphene slurry based passive Q-switcher fabricated from Graphene-Polylactic acid (PLA) filament which is used for 3D printing. To produce the Graphene slurry, the diameter of the filament was reduced and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used to dissolve the PLA. The Graphene-THF suspension was drop cast to the end of a fiber ferrule and the THF then evaporated to develop Graphene slurry based SA which is integrated in fiber laser cavity. At threshold input pump power of 30.45 mW, a Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) can be observed with the wavelength centered at 1531.01 nm and this remained stable up to a pump power of 179.5 mW. As the pump power was increased gradually, an increase in the repetition rates was recorded from 42 kHz to 125 kHz, while the pulse width was reduced to 2.58 μs from 6.74 μs. The Q-switched laser yielded a maximum pulse energy and peak power of 11.68 nJ and 4.16 mW, respectively. The proposed Graphene slurry based saturable absorber also produced a signal-to-noise ratio of 44 dB indicating a stable Q-switched pulsed laser.

The single-, dual- and triple-wavelength passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers are demonstrated with MoS2 and polarization-dependent isolator (PD-ISO). The saturable absorber is fabricated by wrapping an MoS2 around a microfiber. The intracavity PD-ISO acts as a wavelength-tunable filter with a polarization controller (PC) by adjusting the linear birefringence. Single-wavelength mode-locked fiber laser can self-start with suitable pump power. With appropriate PC state, dual- and triple-wavelength operations can be observed when gains at different wavelengths reach a balance. It is noteworthy that dual-wavelength pulses exhibiting peak and dip sidebands, respectively, are demonstrated in the experiment. The proposed simple and multi-wavelength all-fiber conventional soliton lasers could possess potential applications in numerous fields, such as sensors, THz generations and optical communications.

We demonstrate the generation of harmonic mode-locking (HML) in an erbium-doped fiber laser with a microfiber-based rhenium disulfide (ReS2) saturable absorber (SA). Taking advantages of both saturable absorption and large third-order nonlinear effect of ReS2, HML pulse with 318.5 MHz repetition rate can be obtained, corresponding to 168th harmonic of fundamental repetition frequency of 1.896 MHz. When the pump power is increased gradually, the pulse interval remains constant, while the output power increases linearly. At the pump power of 450 mW, the output power is [Formula: see text]12 mW. The proposed high-repetition-rate pulse lasers would attract considerable attention due to its potential applications in soliton communications and frequency combs.

We present in this paper, the result of successful fabrication of a novel graphene-based Q-switched fiber laser in the S-band region using an arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs). The S-band lasing is realized by employing a depressed-cladding erbium doped fiber (DC-EDF), as the gain medium. A new ferrule-to-ferrule and stepwise optical extraction method is introduced and employed for depositing the thin graphene layer within the fiber laser cavity as the saturable absorber, while a tunable laser source (TLS) is used for depositing graphene onto the fiber ferrule. A demonstration of performance characteristics of this device is presented showing a Q-switched threshold of 65.29 mW and a range of repetition rate from 73.6 kHz to 331.1 kHz, with a linear increment. Minimum pulse duration of 1.218 μs is obtained at a pump power of 100.44 mW. Additional measurements are performed on the characteristics of the output power, pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, and peak power with respect to the pump power.
