Abstract

Ultra-simple all-fiberized 2 μm Tm-doped frequency shifted feedback mode-locked fiber lasers are demonstrated. The self-starting mode-locking is initiated by an intra-cavity acousto-optical frequency shifter. Versatile mode-locking pulse dynamics were observed by altering the pump power, cavity structure and intra-cavity polarization state, including picosecond single pulse sequence, pulse bundle state and nanosecond rectangular pulse. As short as 8 ps stable pulses and up to 12 nJ, 3 ns rectangular pulses were obtained with the aid of a nonlinear optical loop mirror. Beside the mode-locking operation, flexible Q-switching and Q-switched mode-locking operation can also be readily achieved in the same cavity. Up to 78 μJ high energy nanosecond pulse can be generated in this regime.
