@article{10902/13432, year = {2017}, month = {12}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13432}, abstract = {A self-started stable tunablemode-locked soliton fiber laser in a linear cavity structure composed by commercial passive elements is presented in this paper. It is based on the combination of an erbium-doped fiber as the active medium, and a saturated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as a partial mirror of the cavity. The other side of the cavity consists of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror acting also as the mode-locking device. The central wavelength of the FBG is selected by the application of axial strain giving rise to a tunable soliton over 8.6 nm on the C band with a variable spacing of 0.01 nm. The laser delivers 18.9 ps long pulses with a 0.14 nm bandwidth, an 8.2 MHz repetition rate, a pulse energy of 89 pJ, and a peak power of 4.71 W.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología under Project TEC2016-76021-C2-R and in part by the Feder funds and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture, under Scholarship FPU14/02196.}, publisher = {IEEE-}, publisher = {The Optical Society (OSA)}, publisher = {Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2017, 35(23), 5003-5009}, title = {Tunable SESAM-based mode-locked soliton fiber laser in linear cavity by axial-strain applied to an FBG}, author = {Aporta Litago, Iñaki and Leandro Gonzalez, Daniel and Quintela Incera, María Ángeles and Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana and López Amo, Manuel and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
