Article Abstract
We report on a passively mode-locked Tm,Ho:SrF laser employing a SESAM as saturable absorber (SA), delivering nearly Fourier-transform-limited 246 fs pulses at 2084nm without any additional intra- or extra-cavity dispersion compensation elements. This represents, to the best of our knowledge, the shortest pulses generated from the mode-locked fluoride bulk lasers in the 2-µm spectral range. Such compact femtosecond laser can be a potential seed source for large-sized fluoride bulk amplifier systems with exact gain match, enabling the generation of ultrashort intense pulses around 2 µm.

The fiber-based saturable absorber (SA) that enables mode-locking within a ring cavity serves as the core component of the ultrafast all-fiber lasers. However, the integration of SAs onto fibers with high compactness suffers from imbalanced saturable absorption properties and unstable mode-locking performance. Here, we present a robust mode-locking SA by integrating a nanocavity composed of a two-dimensional graphene heterostructure on the fiber end facet.

This study demonstrates improved DNR roll-off performance using a high-finesse Fabry-Pérot tunable filter (FFP-TF) in a Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser. Comparative measurements between high- and low-finesse filters reveal that increased finesse reduces intensity noise and flattens the roll-off of a 60.

The pursuit of high-performance saturable absorbers (SAs) demands synergistic optimization of modulation depth, saturation intensity, and response speed─a challenge persisting in ultrafast photonics. While two-dimensional (2D) MXenes exhibit great potential as SA candidates, their intrinsic limitations, including weak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and insufficient near-infrared nonlinear optical responses, hinder further practical laser applications. Herein, guided by the plasmonic coupling theory, we proposed a TiCT/Au nanoparticle (T/A) nanocomposite synthesized via a facile ultrasonic-assisted strategy.

This paper investigates new optical soliton solutions to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the presence of white noise, a fundamental model in nonlinear optics that describes soliton dynamics. The study focuses on nine distinct forms of self-phase modulation structures, each exhibiting unique nonlinear characteristics and dispersion properties. To derive the soliton solutions, the generalized -expansion approach is employed, which is known for its effectiveness in handling nonlinear differential equations and extracting exact solutions systematically.
