Abstract

Herein, we present a fundamental and harmonic mode-locked figure-of-9 thulium-doped fiber laser using a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror. The generated fundamental mode-locked h-shaped pulse is centered at 1889 nm with an average output power reaching 282 mW and a pulse energy up to 1.23 µJ, which is the highest power and pulse energy of an h-shaped pulse. In the harmonic mode-locked regime, up to the 8th harmonic h-shaped pulse is obtained. The detailed characteristics of the h-shaped pulse are discussed. The proposed study shows that the figure-of-9 fiber laser can generate h-shaped pulses and also allows the generation of nanosecond pulses with a µJ-level pulse energy.
