Abstract

A passive mode-locked laser was demonstrated using an all-fibre ytterbium-doped fibre laser. Mode-locking was generated using a manganese (Mn (II)) material as a saturable absorber (SA) in a ring-cavity ytterbium-doped fibre laser. The Mn (II)-SA, fabricated via the hydrothermal method, using trans-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene linker and manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate (MnCl2cdot 4H2O). The solution was then deposited onto a side-polished fibre, which exhibits a modulation depth of 18.1, a saturation intensity of 0.74 MW/cm2, and a nonsaturable loss of 55.03. The ring cavity outputs dissipative soliton mode-locked at 1030 nm, with a pulse duration of 9.1 ps and a repetition rate of 20.7 MHz. © 1965-2012 IEEE.
