Partial bandgap characteristics of parallelogram lattice photonic crystals are proposed to suppress the radiation modes in a compact dielectric waveguide taper so as to obtain high transmittance in a large wavelength range. Band structure of the photonic
We report the generation of harmonic noise-like mode-locked pulses in a thulium-doped fiber laser. In this laser, mode-locking can be realized through the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique. The ring cavity configuration uses 5 m of a Tm-dope
A compact Er:fiber ring laser operated at a fundamental repetition rate of 325 MHz is reported. Two gain fibers with opposite dispersion are employed to shorten the fiber laser cavity for high repetition rate and soliton-like pulse generation without losi
