We demonstrate a 2.08 µm all-polarization-maintaining (PM) holmium-doped fiber oscillator using a hybrid mode-locking technique with nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). This oscillator features a linear structure with dual output ports.

Article Synopsis
  • A new self-starting all-polarization-maintaining holmium-doped fiber oscillator operates at ∼2.08 µm, utilizing nonlinear polarization evolution for mode-locking.
  • One output port produces stable, soliton-like pulses with a duration of 439 fs and an average power of 7.5 mW, while the other port generates low-quality, complex pulses.
  • The differences in pulse quality are attributed to nonlinear interactions between the fiber's slow and fast-axis modes, highlighting the potential for improved pulse stability and reduced noise in PM-NPE fiber oscillators.
