  • Method and Device for Altering Repetition Rate in a Mode-Locked Laser
    Publication number: 20230170664
    Abstract: A mode locking device is disclosed for altering repetition rate in a mode-locked laser. In an example device, laser light is coupled from a fiber into a cavity through a sliding pigtail collimator with a diameter selected such that it is a close tolerance fit with a female snout on a package. A lens focuses laser light to an appropriate spot size onto a SAM or SESAM, such that back-reflection into the fiber is maximized, A piezoelectric transducer is mounted in cooperation with the SAM or SESAM for cavity tuning.

  • All Polarization-Maintaining, Passively Mode-Locked Linear Fiber Laser Oscillator
    Publication number: 20200295521
    Abstract: An example all polarization-maintaining, passively mode-locked linear fiber laser oscillator has a linear cavity. A semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) is disposed at one end of the linear cavity. A polarization-maintaining gain fiber is operatively associated with the SESAM in the linear cavity, the gain fiber having normal dispersion. A polarization-maintaining undoped fiber is operatively associated with the SESAM in the linear cavity, the undoped fiber having anomalous dispersion. An output coupler is configured to generate laser light output from the linear cavity.
