Dissipative soliton resonance in Bismuth-doped fiber laser

We experimentally demonstrate the generation of dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) in a passively mode-locked Bi-doped fiber ring laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique. The DSR with the central wavelength of 1169.5 nm has a repetition rate of 343.7 kHz. By purely increasing the pump power, the DSR evolves from Gaussian shape to rectangular shape with the duration extending from 2.1 ns to 13.1 ns, while keeping the pulse amplitude and the 3-dB spectrum bandwidth almost constant. The single-pulse energy reaches 24.82 nJ. Furthermore, we construct a lumped model to reproduce the mode-locking process and the traits of the DSR pulse. The obtained results indicate that it could achieve higher pulse energy in mode-locked Bi-doped fiber laser by generating DSR.
