Abstract
We present a widely tunable all-fiber mode-locked laser based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) with a linear cavity design. An easy-to-use tunable bandpass filter based on thin film cavity technology is employed to tune the wavelength. By tuning the filter and adjusting the polarization controller, mode-locked operation can be achieved over the range of 1023Â nm-1060Â nm. With the polarization controller settled, mode-locked operation can be preserved and the wavelength can be continuously tuned from 1030Â nm to 1053Â nm. At 1030Â nm, the laser delivers 9.6Â mw average output power with 15.4Â ps 10.96Â MHz pulses at fundamental mode-locked operation.
