Mode-Locked, Tunable Fiber Laser Is Alternative to Ti:Sapphire

Breck Hitz

Fiber lasers are being developed in laboratories around the world as alternatives to traditional solid-state lasers. The Ti:sapphire laser, however, has remained largely unchallenged as a source of broadly tunable, ultrashort pulses. But now a collaboration of engineers in Europe has produced a mode-locked, wavelength-tunable fiber laser that can give a Ti:sapphire laser a run for its money in terms of tunability and short-pulse generation. Figure 1. The mode-locked Yb:fiber laser is tuned across 120 nm by adjusting the angular orientation of the high-reflectivity mirror behind the...Read full article
