Abstract

In this paper, the phenomenon of reverse saturable absorption of offset-spliced graded index multimode fibers (OS-GIMF) is revealed. And based on that, the stable square-shaped and chair-like mode-locked pulses are demonstrated with the maximum pulse energy of 0.14 µJ and 23.8 nJ respectively, while the OS-GIMF acts as a saturable absorber (SA) in fiber laser. By adjusting polarization controller (PC) and the pump power, square-shaped and chair-like pulse can be switched to each other. This multimode SA could sever as high power light source owing to its high damage threshold, compact structure and low cost.
