Abstract
We report a compact all-fiber passively mode-locked ultrafast laser with a fundamental repetition rate of 1.6 GHz that uses a self-developed long-wavelength active fiber, i.e., a fluoro-sulfo-phosphate-based Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped fiber (only 6.2 cm in length). This active fiber can provide a net gain coefficient of 0.6 dB/cm at 1610 nm. The high-repetition-rate all-fiber mode-locked laser operates at a low pump power of only approximately 90 mW. The mode-locked pulse train has a period of 625 ps and a 3 dB bandwidth of 7.0 nm, which can support a transform-limited pulse width of 390 fs.
