Dj. Jones et al., DIODE-PUMPED ENVIRONMENTALLY STABLE STRETCHED-PULSE FIBER LASER, IEEE journal of selected topics in quantum electronics, 3(4), 1997, pp. 1076-1079
We present results obtained with a stretched-pulse polarization additi
ve pulse mode locked (P-APM) fiber laser using an environmentally stab
le cavity design, With BSO-nm diode-pumping levels of 200-mW 1.2-nJ pu
lses with 50 nm of spectrum are obtained, These pulses can be external
ly compressed to sub-100 fs, The effects of high output coupling (>80%
) and pumping configuration oh output performance and intracavity puls
e dynamics are studied.
