Mode-locked parabolic Raman fiber oscillator

The generation of self-similar parabolic pulses (similaritons) has so far only been obtained in single-pass Raman amplifier configurations or in rare-earth doped fiber lasers. We report here the first demonstration of a mode-locked parabolic pulse fiber laser, which can potentially be run at any wav...

Summary:The generation of self-similar parabolic pulses (similaritons) has so far only been obtained in single-pass Raman amplifier configurations or in rare-earth doped fiber lasers. We report here the first demonstration of a mode-locked parabolic pulse fiber laser, which can potentially be run at any wavelength using Raman gain. This new all-fiber ring similariton laser scheme has been designed with the aid of a full theoretical model of its operation. The output similariton pulses of the laser have a true parabolic shape and a linear chirp.
