Ultraviolet-enhanced supercontinuum generation with a mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser operating in
Abstract:
We experimentally demonstrate an all-fiber, ultraviolet-enhanced, supercontinuum generation in a specifically designed seven-core photonic crystal fiber pumped by a picosecond Yb-doped master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). The MOPA source is seeded by a giant-chirped Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser operating in the dissipative-soliton-resonance (DSR) region. The DSR is achieved by using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) with a fundamental repetition rate of 4.5 MHz and a central wavelength of 1035 nm. An extremely wide optical spectrum spanning from 350 nm to 2400 nm is obtained with a total output power of 6.86 W.

Modes of Operations of BJT
Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...
MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...
Power Dissipated in a Circuit: Problem Solving
The simplest combinations of resistors are series and parallel connections. In a series circuit, the first resistor's output current flows into the second resistor's input; therefore, each resistor's current is the same. Thus, the equivalent resistance is the algebraic sum of the resistances. The current through the circuit can be found from Ohm's law and is equal to the...

Self-Locking Screw
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.
What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
