Short-Pulse Dual-Wavelength System Based on Mode-Locked Diode Lasers with a Single Polarization-Maintaining Yb:Fiber Amplifier
Abstract
In this paper, we report on the development of a short-pulse dual-wavelength source consisting of mode-locked diode lasers and a single Yb-doped double-clad fiber amplifier. Two mode-locked external-cavity semiconductor oscillators operating at a repetition rate of 577 MHz with center wavelengths of 1040 nm and 1079 nm are synchronized, producing short pulses that are injected into a Yb-doped polarization-maintaining fiber for amplification. …
