All-fiber mode-locked-laser at 920-nm wavelength

We investigate generation regimes of dispersion-managed solitons depending on the net cavity dispersion of the all-fiber polarization maintaining laser. Dispersion changes from anomalous region, where shortest pulses are achieved, crossing zero to normal values, where high pulse energy can be reached, provides flexibility of pulse output parameters for different possible applications. One of which is a pump of epitaxial single-photon source where it was tested as an alternative to Ti:Sa laser. The experimental results confirmed identical to Ti:Sa laser efficiency while retaining high purity of the single-photon source.
