Item Open Access All-fiber nonlinearity-and dispersion-managed dissipative soliton nanotube mode-locked laser(American Institute of Physics, 2015) Zhang Z.; Popa, D.; Wittwer, V. J.; Milana, S.; Hasan, T.; Jiang, Z.; Ferrari, A. C.; Ilday F. Ö.We report dissipative soliton generation from an Yb-doped all-fiber nonlinearity- and dispersion-managed nanotube mode-locked laser. A simple all-fiber ring cavity exploits a photonic crystal fiber for both nonlinearity enhancement and dispersion compensation. The laser generates stable dissipative solitons with large linear chirp in the net normal dispersion regime. Pulses that are 8.7 ps long are externally compressed to 118 fs, outperforming current nanotube-based Yb-doped fiber laser designs.Item Open Access All-fiber-integrated soliton-similariton laser with in-line fiber filter(Optical Society of America, 2012-08-16) Zhang, Z.; Öktem, B.; Ilday, F. Ö.We demonstrate an all-fiber-integrated Er-doped fiber laser operating in the soliton-similariton mode-locking regime. In the similariton part of the cavity, a self-similarly evolving parabolic pulse with highly linear chirp propagates in the presence of normal dispersion. Following an in-line fiber-based birefringent filter, the pulse evolves into a soliton in the part of the cavity with anomalous dispersion. The similariton and the soliton pulses are dechirped to 75.5 and 167.2 fs, respectively, outside of the cavity. Mode-locked operation is very robust, owing to the influence of the two similariton and soliton attractors that predominate each half of the laser cavity. The experimental results are supported with numerical simulations, which provide good agreement.Item Open Access Generation of 1.2-nJ, 62-fs, chirp-free pulses directly from a Yb-doped fiber oscillator(IEEE, 2016) Teamir, Tesfay G.; İlday, Fatih Ömer1.2-nJ, 62-fs, linear-chirp-free pulses are generated directly from a mode-locked fiber oscillator through optimized interaction of second- and third-order dispersion with self-phase modulation.
