Abstract
Nonlinear optical gain modulation (NOGM) is a simple and effective approach to generate highly coherent ultrafast pulses with a flexible wavelength. In this work, we demonstrate 34 nJ, 170 fs pulse generation at 1319 nm through a piece of phosphorus-doped fiber by two-stage cascaded NOGM with a 1064 nm pulsed pump. Beyond the experiment, numerical results show that 668 nJ, 391 fs pulses at 1.3 µm can be produced with up to 67% conversion efficiency by increasing the pump pulse energy and optimizing the pump pulse duration. This would offer an efficient method to obtain high-energy sub-picosecond laser sources for applications such as multiphoton microscopy.
