We illustrate the use of this approach by considering a frequency swept laser comprising a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), a tunable bandpass filter and a long dispersive fiber delay line. We demonstrate that this system exhibits a rich spectrum of dynamical behaviors which are in agreement with the experimental observations. In particular, the multimode modulational instability observed experimentally in the laser in the anomalous dispersion regime and leading to a turbulent laser output was found analytically in the limit of large delay time.
- ItemA delay differential equation NOLM--NALM mode-locked laser model(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Vladimirov, Andrei G.; Suchkov, Sergey; Huyet, Guillaume; Turitsyn, Sergey K.Delay differential equation model of a NOLM-NALM mode-locked laser is developed that takes into account finite relaxation rate of the gain medium and asymmetric beam splitting at the entrance of the nonlinear mirror loop. Asymptotic linear stability analysis of the continuous wave solutions performed in the limit of large delay indicates that in a class-B laser flip instability leading to a period doubling cascade and development of square-wave patterns can be suppressed by a short wavelength modulational instability. Numerically it is shown that the model can demonstrate large windows of regular fundamental and harmonic mode-locked regimes with single and multiple pulses per cavity round trip time separated by domains of irregular pulsing.
- ItemDynamical regimes in a class A model of a nonlinear mirror mode-locked laser(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Vladimirov, Andrei G.; Kovalev, Anton V.; Viktorov, Evgeny A.; Rebrova, Natalia; Huyet, GuillaumeUsing a simple delay differential equation model we study theoretically the dynamics of a unidirectional class-A ring laser with a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror. We perform analytical linear stability analysis of the CW regimes in the large delay limit and demonstrate that these regimes can be destabilized via modulational and Turing-type instabilities, as well as by a bifurcation leading to the appearance of square-waves. We investigate the formation of square-waves and mode-locked pulses in the system. We show that mode-locked pulses are very asymmetric with exponential decay of the trailing and superexponential growth of the leading edge. We discuss asymmetric interaction of these pulses leading to a formation of harmonic mode-locked regimes.
