All-fiber lasers through photonic crystal fibers

Abstract: A review on all-fiber lasers based on photonic crystal fibers is presented. Photonic crystal fibers present improved features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their geometric versatility, photonic crystal fibers can present special properties and abilities which can lead to enhanced lasing structures. A brief description of photonic crystal fibers and fiber laser's properties is presented. All-fiber laser structures developed using photonic crystal fibers are described and divided in t… Show more

“…Passive Q-switched/mode-locked fiber lasers (QSFLs/MLFLs) with high beam quality, excellent heat dissipation, high stability and flexible cavity structure, play an irreplaceable role in various crucial fields such as optical communication, precision metrology, ultrafine machining and biomedicine. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, passive MLFLs have important research significance as an ideal platform for studying soliton nonlinear dynamics. 7 Since the successful implementation of ultra-short pulse output based on graphene by Sun et al, 8 SAs based on twodimensional (2D) materials have attracted great research interest because of their many similar photonic properties, such as broadband absorption, strong nonlinearity, ultrafast response time and saturable absorption properties.…”

“…Furthermore, GYs can be separated into α-, βand γ-GY according to different sp-sp 2 hybridization binding modes. 19,20 It is worth mentioning that in addition to having one of the most stable structures of all GYs, γ-GY also has a natural band gap derived from the overlapping of carbon 2p z orbitals and the inhomogeneous π-bonding between sp-and sp 2 -hybridized carbon atoms. 20,21 Meanwhile, the presence of sp-hybridized carbons with large conjugated structures enables γ-GY to have a stronger nonlinear response than that of graphene.…”

“…Traditionally, FLMs are fabricated using high‐birefringent materials, [ 30 ] polarization‐maintaining materials, [ 32 ] or photonic crystals‐based materials. [ 33,34 ] However, organic FLM‐like geometry is not achieved yet and they are useful for building novel interferometers.…”

“…Lasers and amplifiers based on optical fibers have been the subject of growing interest for many years due to their wide range of potential applications as active photonic devices [1,2] also for their potential use in harsh environments [3,4]. However, for communication or monitoring in space and nuclear environments, these optical fibers can be exposed to ionizing radiation that strongly impacts their performances.…”

“…This latter element allows RE ion dissolution and makes it possible to disperse them efficiently inside the host SiO 2 glass [7]. Recently, solutions have been proposed to limit the effect of such a codopant in Nanostructuring an erbium local environment inside sol-gel silica glasses: toward efficient erbium optical fiber lasers Inna Savelii 1 , Hicham El Hamzaoui 1 , Laurent Bigot 1 , Géraud Bouwmans 1 , Ihsan Fsaifes 1,2 , Bruno Capoen 1 and Mohamed Bouazaoui 1 conventional-modified-chemical-vapor-deposition-(MCVD-) derived optical fibers, making them more resistant against radiation. Based on the insertion of Er-doped alumina nanoparticles (NPs) in the glass matrix, this nanostructuring route allowed reducing the Al content while controlling the Er surroundings in order to minimize quenching effects [8,9].…”
