Article Abstract
We present a spatiotemporally mode-locked Mamyshev oscillator. A wide variety of multimode mode-locked states, with varying degrees of spatiotemporal coupling, are observed. We find that some control of the modal content of the output beam is possible through the cavity design. Comparison of simulations with experiments indicates that spatiotemporal mode locking (STML) is enabled by nonlinear intermodal interactions and spatial filtering, along with the Mamyshev mechanism. This work represents a first, to the best of our knowledge, exploration of STML in an oscillator with a Mamyshev saturable absorber.

In this Letter, we present an experimental demonstration of an all-fiber ring Mamyshev oscillator (MO) that delivers a 300 mW optical power at a repetition rate of 45 MHz. Numerical design has shown that more than 70 MHz repetition rate is achievable in a ring cavity configuration using standard step-index fibers and components. Interest of WDM type filtering on pulse duration is especially shown.

In this Letter, we demonstrate the generation of cylindrical vector beams directly from a Yb-doped Mamyshev oscillator (MO). Both the radially and azimuthally polarized vector beams are achieved with a pulse duration of 3.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA cost-effective fiber laser architecture is introduced in which the output seed pulse is stretched and then returned in the oscillator for an additional single-pass amplification without spectral broadening. It is implemented in an all-PM-fiber configuration based on a Mamyshev oscillator with a low repetition rate of 1 MHz. It features a linear oscillator bounded by two offset chirped fiber Bragg gratings accompanied by a third one acting as a pulse recycling filter.
