摘要: By incorporating a section of large positive-dispersion fiber in an all-fiber erbium ring laser, we obtain high-energy pulses with spectral widths 56 nm. The chirp on these is highly linear and can be compensated for dispersion the output coupling lead. result fully self-starting source 77-fs pulse 90 pJ energy greater than 1 kW peak power at 45-MHz repetition rate.
