We show what we believe is the first demonstration of an ytterbium-doped strictly all-fiber active mode-locking laser. The active control of the laser is based on in-fiber amplitude modulation at 11 MHz, which is achieved by using an all-fiber acoustooptic superlattice modulator driven by standing a

โฆ Synopsis
We demonstrate a low-repetition-rate all-fiber allnormal-dispersion Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser. Stable mode-locking is achieved by nonlinear polarization rotation and its spectral-filtering effect. Nanosecond pulses with steep edges spectrum at repetition rate 217.4 kHz are achieved. Our preliminary experiment shows that it is a promising seed for all-fiber amplifier system.
