Abstract

We proposed a bidirectional high-repetition-rate (HRR) ultrafast fiber ring laser based on the dissipative four-wave-mixing (DFWM) mode-locked technique. By employing a segment of highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and two comb filters with different free spectral ranges (FSRs), 100 GHz and 30 GHz HRR pulses were obtained in the clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) directions, respectively. Moreover, the single-waveband tunable and dual-waveband switchable operations of the HRR pulse could be achieved for each direction. The flexible and compact bidirectional HRR ultrafast fiber laser would find potential applications in the related fields such as optical communications and sensing.
