An all-fiber polarization maintaining (PM) laser tunable over 170 nm via Raman soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) delivering sub-100 fs pulses with a central wavelength ranging from 1880 to 2050 nm is presented. The 40 MHz laser emits power ranging from 15 to 34 mW with pulse duration as short as 80 fs. It is based on exclusively commercially available standard fibers and has been designed to produce sub-100 fs pulse durations over the whole spectral range without the need for adjusting neither nonlinearities nor dispersion. The laser is versatile and a robust potential alternative to Tm and Tm:Ho oscillators.

Materials and devices that harvest acoustic energy can enable autonomous powering of microdevices and wireless sensors. However, traditional acoustic energy harvesters rely on brittle piezoceramics, which have restricted their use in wearable electronic devices. To address these limitations, this study involves the fabrication of acoustic harvesters using electrospinning of the piezoelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE onto fabric-based electrodes.

In this paper, we report the use of femtosecond radially polarized vortex laser with MHz repetition rate for direct writing of cladding waveguides (WGs) and realization of waveguide laser oscillations in ytterbium-doped calcium fluoride crystal. The negative refractive index modification in Yb:CaF crystal is fabricated by the homemade all-fiber laser amplifier. At 976 nm pump wavelength, these Yb:CaF WGs can achieve continuous-wave (CW) laser oscillation.

Here, we propose an efficient scheme to generate a picosecond pulsed flat-top beam in a mode-locking all-fiber laser. After utilizing an orthogonal polarization method for complete incoherence and a high-precision all-fiber optical delay line (ODL) for rigorous time synchronization, the pulsed fundamental mode (LP) and the pulsed vortex beam (VB) are superimposed to generate a pulsed flat-top beam.

Many approaches have been developed to generate such beams, but high-power output is not supported. Here, we report the coherent beam combining (CBC) for generating VVBs that are compatible with high-power fiber amplifiers.

We have compared the fundamental repetition rate pulsed generation for mode-locking based on: nonlinear polarization evolution, polymer-free single-walled carbon nanotubes, and hybrid mode-locking. Experimental and numerical simulation results demonstrated the shortest pulse duration and maximum spectrum width for mode-locking based on the nonlinear polarization evolution: 1.
