Abstract

The tunable-wavelength broadband spectrum dissipative soliton (DS) is demonstrated in Yb-doped mode-locked laser using an all-fiber structure saturable absorber (SA), that is, graded index multimode fiber (GIMF)-step index multimode fiber (SIMF)-GIMF with 4.70% modulation depth and 4.55 mW saturation power. Increasing pump power alters intra-cavity balance between loss and gain and nonlinear and dispersion, causing wavelength adjustment and spectrum broadening. The center wavelength shifts towards shorter wavelength with rang of 1037.77–1024.83 nm, corresponding 3-dB bandwidth widens from 6.10 to 9.23 nm and pulse width narrows from 23.80 to 13.38 ps. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 71.2 dB at the repetition rate of 14.63 MHz. The GIMF-SIMF-GIMF structure has a huge potential to serve as both SA and filter component for the tunable-wavelength broadband spectrum Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser (MLFL), which is favorable for developing the field of nonlinear microscopy and material processing.
