Stable harmonic mode locking in soliton fiber laser with frequency shift: theory and experiment

Soliton fiber lasers with passive harmonic mode-locking (HML) have been known for several decades as reliable sources of pulse trains with a high repetition rate. They are commonly employed as frequency comb generators in a wide list of applications in spectroscopy, telecommunications, microwave photonics. Besides that exhibiting advantageous consumer properties, such as compactness, reliability, low cost and convenience of beam delivery approach these sources are among the most attractive alternatives for material processing, medicine lasers and other areas. In the first group of these lasers the HML occurs due to special intra-cavity periodic filter with a free spectral range (FSR) which is a multiple of the main cavity FSR and equals to the pulse repetition rate. The second group of HML lasers in this classification is attractive for the scientific community due to the automatic arrangement of strongly periodic pulse pattern in the laser cavity through pulse repulsion. However, it is difficult to specify the mechanism of pulse repulsion for each case. It can be based on interaction through saturating and relaxing dissipative parameters, continuous-wave (CW) radiation component, dispersion waves, or acoustic waves induced by electrostriction, etc. A common feature of all interaction induced effects is low intensity, in many cases only slightly exceeding the noise level. The noise-induced fluctuations in the time interval of the HML pulse train are known as HML timing jitter, and its value is significantly higher than the timing jitter in lasers operating at fundamental frequency. It is a major drawback of the HML laser technology. We report the stabilizing frequency shift effect in harmonic mode-locking ring soliton fiber laser that is studied theoretically and numerically. We demonstrate that the frequency shift contributes to an increase in the hardness of interpulse interactions and can led to stabilization of the periodic arrangement of pulses. The experiment carried out confirms the theoretical predictions and the results of numerical simulation.

Linewidth narrowing and stabilization of semiconductor laser light generation is of great research interest governed by the huge demand of compact cost-effective narrow-band laser sources for many potential applications. In 2012 we have demonstrated a simple kHz-linewidth laser just splicing a standard distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode and a few passive telecommunication components. The principle of operation employs the mechanism of self-injection locking that significantly improves DFB laser performance. While a typical linewidth of free-running DFB semiconductor lasers ranges from a few to tens MHz, self-injection locking of a DFB laser through an external fiber ring cavity causes a drastic reduction of its laser linewidth down to a few kHz. The advantage of the proposed configuration is that the same external fiber ring cavity could be used for self-injection locking of a DFB laser and as Brillouin scattering media to generate Stokes shifted optical wave. However, a continuous laser operation at two frequencies has not been reported yet preventing it from many prosperous photonic applications. Here, we introduce a simple dual-frequency laser configuration. In our approach, the implementation of self-injection locking into the Brillouin ring fiber laser helps to maintain coupling between the DFB laser and an external high-Q fiber cavity enabling dual-frequency laser operation. Specifically, the same ring fiber cavity is used to generate narrow-band light at the pump frequency (through self-injection locking mechanism) and narrow-band laser light at Stokes frequency (through stimulated Brillouin scattering). The system is supplied by a low-bandwidth active optoelectronic feedback circuit controlled by a low-cost USB-DAQ card that helps the laser to maintain the desired operation mode. The fiber configuration reduces the natural Lorentzian linewidth of light emitted by the laser at pump and Stokes frequencies down to 270 Hz and 220 Hz, respectively, and features a stable 300-Hz-width RF spectrum recorded with the beating of two laser outputs. We have explored key features of the laser performance, revealing its stability and applicability to RF harmonic generation of high spectral purity as an additional benefit of the proposed technique.
