Abstract

In this paper, a DDM soliton mode-locked 2 μm thulium-holmium doped fiber laser that operates in a stable single-pulse regime and demonstrates an increase in the pulse energy as compared with DM net anomalous-dispersion cavity. The mode-locked fiber laser with linear cavity is shown schematically in the paper. The gain was provided by 1.2 m-long Tm-Ho fiber. The cavity is terminated by 130 nm/cm chirp fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM).
