Subpicosecond fiber laser

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5829310
This patent describes a fiber laser for producing subpicosecond pulses, comprising: a laser fiber comprising: a gain fiber doped with a rare earth which lases at a wavelength in the range of 1.27-1.6 microns; a pulse shaping fiber joined to the gain fiber and having a zero dispersion wavelength slightly below the laser wavelength; resonant cavity formation means for forming a resonant cavity with the laser fiber in the cavity, the cavity formation means including output coupling means; a CW pump source positioned to continuously provide pump radiation into the gain fiber.
