The Q-switched laser emitted a maximum average output power of 62 mW and highest pulse energy of 0.72 μJ. Q-switched mode locking was also obtained in the experiment. The research results will open up applications of MoS2 at the mid-infrared wavelength.展开更多

The mode-locked NL pulse laser exhibits an excellent stability with a power fluctuation of~0.1% in 8 h of monitoring, and a signal-to-noise ratio of ~83 dB at a fundamental frequency of ~1.662 MHz. Moreover, the pulse envelope and coherence spike width of the NL pulse can be widely tuned from ~4.5 ns to ~16 ns, and ~364 fs to~323 fs, respectively, with the enhancement of the pump power. Such an all-PM fiber oscillator is the ideal seed source for the implementation of a high-power NL pulse laser and has potential valuable applications in mid-infrared spectroscopy and industrial processing.展开更多
