Abstract
We demonstrated a compact broad spectrum ultrashort fiber laser system that employed a similariton laser as a seed and fiber-optic nonlinearities in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to broaden the optical spectrum. The system generated a stable 59 fs ultrashort pulse with a spectral bandwidth beyond 550 nm (i.e. 1490–2030 nm). The mode-locked oscillator produced an 85.9 fs similariton pulse at the wavelength of 1553 nm. The maximum average output power of the laser system was 251 mW. This new type of standard single-mode fiber-format energetic ultrashort system was suitable as a source for biological tissue imaging, broad-band spectroscopy, and optical frequency combs.
