The system delivers sub-100 fs pulses with energies up to 8.6 nJ and is built entirely from PM optical fibers, without any free-space optics.

The whole system is fully fiberized, without the use of any free-space optics. Thanks to its exceptional simplicity, the setup can be considered as an alternative to mode-locked Tm-and Ho-doped fiber lasers.展开更多
