Abstract

Abstract We propose and demonstrate a high repetition-rate passively mode-locking Tm-doped fiber laser. Mode-locking operation is achieved by using a conventional nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) structure. Fundamental frequency soliton laser is obtained with the repetition-rate of 5.05 MHz and the pulse width of 54.7 ps. 3-dB bandwidth and signal and noise ratio (SNR) are 3.1 nm and 53.03 dB, respectively. In order to improve repetition-rate of the mode-locking pulse, a narrow band filter is adopted. In this case, maximum repetition-rate of the output pulse can be up to 7.75 GHz (1534 orders). Pulse width and 3-dB bandwidth of mode-locking laser are compressed to 67.2 ps and 0.2 nm, respectively, and SNR is 19.71 dB. In addition, the laser center wavelength can be tuned from 1882 nm to 1925 nm by adjusting the filter.
