Programmable controlled mode-locked fiber laser using a digital micromirror device

Abstract

A digital micromirror device (DMD)-based arbitrary spectrum amplitude shaper is incorporated into a large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber laser cavity. The shaper acts as an in-cavity programmable filter and provides large tunable dispersion from normal to anomalous. As a result, mode-locking is achieved in different dispersion regimes with watt-level high output power. By programming different filter profiles on the DMD, the laser generates femtosecond pulse with a tunable central wavelength and controllable bandwidth. Under conditions of suitable cavity dispersion and pump power, design-shaped spectra are directly obtained by varying the amplitude transfer function of the filter. The results show the versatility of the DMD-based in-cavity filter for flexible control of the pulse dynamics in a mode-locked fiber laser.
