Picosecond lasing in ytterbium fibre laser with nonlinear optical loop mirror: experiment and numerical simulation

The operation regimes of a pulsed all-normal-dispersion polarisation-maintaining fibre laser with a nonlinear optical loop mirror are studied. The use of polarisation-maintaining fibres ensures polarisation and temperature stability of output radiation. The lasing and instability thresholds of the pulsed laser are determined experimentally. A spectral filter placed in the cavity makes it possible to change the centre wavelength of laser radiation within the range with a spectral full width at half maximum of . The average output power is , which corresponds to a pulse energy of . The autocorrelation function width of the output pulse is . The minimum pulse duration achieved after compression by an external pair of diffraction gratings is . The dynamics of the temporal and spectral parameters of laser pulses is studied using mathematical simulation based on numerical solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The simulation results coincide with experimental data with a high accuracy.
