Research Abstract

In this work, we investigated highly functional ultrashort pulse source using nonlinear fiber effects. First, we demonstrated numerical analysis of ultrashort pulse fiber laser using carbon nanotube. Considering the numerical results, we succeeded in the demonstration of 285 mW highest power fiber laser using carbon nanotube. Next, optical frequency comb system using developed nanotube fiber laser was demonstrated. Then, 50 fs high power ultrashort pulse was successfully generated using similariton fiber amplifier, and an octave spanning coherent supercontinuum was generated. Finally, the spectrogram of generated coherent supercontinuum was ob served using X-FROG for the first time.
