摘要
We report on mode-locked thulium-doped fiber lasers with high-energy nanosecond pulses,relying on the transmission in a semiconductor saturable absorber(SESA)and a carbon nanotube(CNTs-PVA)film separately.A section of an SMF-MMF-SMF structure multimode interferometer with a transmission peak wavelength of^2003 nm was used as a wavelength selector to fix the laser wavelength.When the SESA acted as a saturable absorber(SA),the mode-locked fiber laser had a maximum output power of^461 mW with a pulse energy of^0.14µJ and a pulse duration of^9.14 ns.In a CNT-film-based mode-locked fiber laser,stable mode-locked pulses with the maximum output power of^46 mW,pulse energy of^26.8 nJ and pulse duration of^9.3 ns were obtained.To the best of our knowledge,our experiments demonstrated the first 2µm region‘real’SA-based dissipative soliton resonance with the highest mode-locked pulse energy from a‘real’SA-based all-fiberized resonator.
