Abstract
The study demonstrates a new type of laser that generates wavelength-tunable h-shaped noise-like pulses (NLPs). We incorporated the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) mechanism into a figure-eight erbium-doped hybrid mode-locked fiber laser based on the nonlinear amplifier loop mirror (NALM). Under an intra-cavity net dispersion of −5.535 ps2, the system produced NLPs with a maximum pulse duration of 24.54 ns, a maximum single energy of 19.96 nJ and a maximum output average power of 14.46 mW when the pump power was set to 543 mW. By adjusting the pump power and fine-tuning the polarization controller, the laser can output NLPs with tunable wavelengths ranging from 1560 to 1601 nm. The flexibility of wavelength-tunable techniques has potential applications in laser detection, high-energy physics experiments, and other fields, enriching the research framework of noise-like applications.
