Experimental studies of noise-like pulses in a dispersion-managed fiber laser

【摘要】 <正> Based on an erbium-doped dispersion-managed fiber laser,the characteristics of noise-like pulses underdifferent net cavity group velocity dispersions (GVDs) are experimentally investigated.Results show that the spectralbandwidth of noise-like pulse will increase as the net cavity GVD increases and attains maximum when the GVD isslightly positive.The effect of Raman scattering is enhanced due to the temporal width attains minimum.When thenet cavity GVD increases continually and further into the positive region,the spectral width begins to decrease andthe effect of Raman scattering is suppressed due to the positive dispersion.Our experimental results are in goodagreement with the previous prediction of numerical simulation.更多还原
