570 MHz harmonic mode-locking in an all polarization-maintaining Ho-doped fiber laser

In this paper, we demonstrate a 570.0 MHz harmonically mode-locked all-polarization-maintaining Ho-doped fiber laser based on semiconductor saturable absorbed mirror. Firstly, the laser operates in the 15.4 MHz fundamental mode-locked soliton regime, emitting 2051.5 nm, 1.62 ps soliton pulse without Kelly sidebands. And then, the stable 37th-order harmonic mode-locked soliton with maximum repetition rate up to 570.0 MHz at 2053nm is generated. Moreover, colorful soliton rain behaviors are also discussed.
