Description
Summary:In this paper, we report a flexible wavelength-, pulse-controlled mode-locked all-fiber laser based on a novel fiber optic Lyot filter. The wavelength, pulse duration and spectral bandwidth of passive mode-locked lasers can be tuned by controlling the polarization controller. The proposed Lyot filter was constructed by a single-mode fiber insertion between two polarization-maintaining fibers. The filter bandwidth and laser output tunability were based on the birefringence characteristics of the polarization-maintaining fibers. This all-fiber laser is simple and stable and can be used for various applications where width-tunable or wavelength-tunable pulses are necessary.
