Stable generation of ultrashort, high-energy pulses in the femtosecond range through passive harmonic mode locking is achieved in ultralong EDFA-based ring fiber oscillators using polarization-insensitive InN-based SESAMs and up to 25 km of standard communications fiber assisted by distributed Raman amplification.
This demonstrates a new family of ultrafast fiber oscillators naturally operating at low repetition rates. The lasers can achieve fundamental mode locking for lengths below 10 km. By using TS-DFT the average laser spectrum is shown to correspond to that of individual pulses, confirming high-energy pulse generation without the need for external amplification and compression stages.
