Femtosecond soliton mode-locked laser based on ytterbium-doped photonic bandgap fiber.
We demonstrate a solid-core ytterbium-doped photonic bandgap fiber laser passively mode-locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber. Gain and anomalous dispersion simultaneously provided by the photonic crystal fiber allow for an all-fiber subpicosecond soliton oscillator. We also discuss the effect of higher-order dispersion in photonic bandgap fiber on laser performance.
