A 10-GHz soliton source with pulse duration between 4-8 ps and wavelength continuously tunable from 1530 nm to 1563 nm is presented. Using regeneratively mode-locking technology, the harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser could work without pulse dropout at room temperature when no cavity length or polarization maintaining mechanism is available. Applying only one 980-nm laser diode pump, the average output power reaches more than 4 mW.
Supercontinuum(SC) generation in a dispersion-shifted fiber(DSF) pumped by a 10 GHz regeneratively mode-locked fiber laser(RMLFL) is presented.Optimization of pump wavelength leads to a 20 dB bandwidth of 58.73 nm,which covers the whole C band and part of L band.Using an angle-tuning thin film filter,multi-wavelength and pico-second pulse trains of low chirp could be chosen from the SC spectrum.Amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) induced degeneration of the achieved pulse trains is observed and discussed.
