Abstract:
We report on a mode-locked fiber laser featuring an Yb-doped large-mode-area Bragg fiber and exploiting dissipative-soliton pulse shaping. Reliable self-starting mode-locking is achieved using a fast semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The laser generates 30 nJ chirped pulses at 17 MHz repetition rate for an average power of 510 mW. The 3.2 ps output pulses are compressed outside the cavity to 440 fs.
