Tunable wavelength-stabilized mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser beyond 2000nm

Camille Sophie Brès, Moritz Bartnick, Gayathri Bharathan

We demonstrate operation of a tunable mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser, based on a wavelength-selective chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG). By applying strain to the CFBG, we shift its reflection band and can thereby tune the emission-wavelength of th ...
