We report a broadband Yb-doped fiber laser system with a gain-narrowing compensator comprised of multiple dielectric layers. Utilizing this filter, we obtained broadband pulses over a bandwidth of 1020-1080 nm directly from the amplifier. After the dispersion compensation, the chirped pulse amplification system delivered 65-fs pulses with energies of 100 nJ and a repetition rate of 3 MHz.

To our knowledge, we report the first experimental demonstration of gain-managed nonlinear (GMN) amplification of femtosecond pulses in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). We investigated the GMN amplification using two different seed sources, operating at wavelengths of 1530 and 1560 nm. We obtained broadband output spectra spanning the entire C- and L-bands (1530-1620 nm).

It consists of a Yb-doped nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) mode-locked fiber oscillator, a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) stretcher, a wave-shaper for manipulating the spectrum of the signal, cascaded fiber amplifiers, and two compression units. The output pulse duration of 44 fs for efficient high harmonic generation (HHG) was achieved by a multi-pass multi-plate Herriott-type non-linear compression unit.

They exhibit favorable emission properties, which include a low quantum defect and compatibility with cost-effective high-power pump diodes. While being strongly beneficial for efficiency, the low quantum defect is a challenge for operation in the few-cycle regime.

Utilizing a hybrid design incorporating a W-shaped double-clad Nd-doped fiber and a single-clad Nd-doped fiber together with filtering out parasitic 1.06 µm beam, we developed an oscillator capable of delivering ultrashort pulses at the central wavelength of 929 nm.
