Abstract

A 30 nm wavelength-tunable backward dark-optical-comb injection-mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier fiber laser with pedestal-free and transform-limited pulsewidth of 180 fs and 400 fs at 1 GHz and 10 GHz, respectively, is reported after high-order soliton compression with maximum pulse compression ratio of up to 80
