title: All-fiber ytterbium soliton mode-locked laser with dispersion control by solid-core photonic bandgap fiber.
abstract: We exploit an anomalous dispersion generated by a solid-core photonic bandgap fiber for dispersion compensation in an ytterbium fiber laser passively mode-locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber. The bandgap-guiding fiber, adequately compatible with standard fiber based on guiding via total internal reflection, allows for an environmentally robust all-fiber subpicosecond soliton oscillator at 1 mum.
