Noise-Like Pulsed Fiber Lasers
Noise-like pulses (NLP) are a kind of special pulse with high energy, wide spectral bandwidth, and low coherence, which are generated from the passively mode-locked fiber lasers under certain conditions. In recent years, NLP fiber lasers have developed rapidly because of the fast development of doping technology, mode-locking technology, fiber amplification technology, and the improvement of pump energy. Based on this, NLP fiber lasers with different mode locking techniques operated in different dispersion regimes were summarized. The NLP fiber lasers were classified based on the discrepancy in its pulse generation mechanism and optical properties. Research status and progress of the fiber lasers at home and abroad was reviewed. Finally, the application of the fiber lasers in production practice was briefly depicted.
