Pulse Generation and Propagation in Optical Fibers: Experiments and Simulation

摘要

Properties of active and passive mode-locked fiber lasers were examined. The experimental lasers displayed stable picosecond pulse generation and the noise in each mode-locked fiber laser was carefully characterized. The project included computational and analytical calculations and coordination of theoretical efforts with experimental efforts at the Photonics Center. Physical aspects of the cavity design were considered to help understand the operation of our fiber lasers.
