Figure 2. Laser setup and typical outputs for pump power at 800 mW.

Figure 2

(a) EDF, erbium-doped fibre (Liekki ER 80-8/125); WDM, wavelength division multiplexer; ISO, polarization independent optical isolator; PC, polarization controller; DCF, dispersion compensation fibre; OC, optical coupler; OSA, optical spectrum analyzer; PD, photo-detector; EDFA, erbium-doped fibre amplifier; TF, tunable filter; PSA, polarization state analyzer. The inset is the cross section of the PCF; more details are given in the Supplementary. (b) Nonlinear transmission of the SA as a function of average power. (c) Autocorrelation trace: the inset is the coherent peak in a larger scale. (d) 100 single-shot spectra measured by DFT (colored lines), and the black line is the averaged spectrum measured with an OSA. (e) 6 consecutive single-shot spectra showing enhanced spectral fluctuations in PML.
