Abstract
A novel mode-locking method based on nonlinear multimode interference (NLMI) using a distributed large-core (105 μm) graded-index multimode fiber (GIMF)-based saturable absorber (SA) capable of generating four pulse modes is proposed. The distributed SA geometry consists of two GIMFs located at different positions in the resonant cavity. The coupling and joint operation not only facilitate resistance to pulse fragmentation but also provide a sophisticated and widely tunable transmission with saturable and reverse saturable absorption phenomena. Based on this, dissipative soliton (DS), dissipative soliton resonance (DSR), wedge-shaped, and staircase pulses are achieved without additional filters. The DS has accessible output power, pulse energy, bandwidth, and duration of up to 15.33 mW, 2.02 nJ, 22.63 nm, and ~1.68 ps. The DSR has an achievable pulse duration and energy of ~32.39 ns, 30.3 nJ. The dispersion range that allows DS operation is studied, and the dynamics of the evolution from DS to DSR are observed. The versatility, flexibility, and simplicity of the SA device, combined with the possibility of scaling the pulse energy, make it highly attractive for ultrafast optics and nonlinear dynamics.
