Actively Mode-Locked Lasers Based on Pulse Self-Intensity-Dependent Modulation
A novel all-polarization-maintained actively mode-locked laser with pulse self-intensity-dependent modulation is proposed. The pulse feed-forward structure and the dual-drive modulator are combined to realize the self-intensity-dependent modulation and two completely different stable mode-locking regimes. The function of the pulse feed-forward is studied theoretically. The experimental results demonstrate that the pulse feed-forward path suppresses supermode noise in the 10 GHz mode locking and makes absorption saturate in the fundamental mode-locking regime. Thanks to the multiple output property and stable operation, many applications will benefit from the novel laser.
