An all-fiber normal-dispersion Yb-doped fiber laser with 45°-tilted fiber grating (TFG) is, to the best of our knowledge, experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Stable linearly-chirped pulses with the duration of 4 ps and the bandwidth of 9 nm can be directly generated from the laser cavity. By employing the 45° TFG with the polarization-dependent loss of 33 dB, output pulses with high polarization extinction ratio of 26 dB are implemented in the experiment. Our result shows that the 45° TFG can work effectively as a polarizer, which could be exploited to single-polarization all-fiber lasers.
据我们所知，首次通过实验证明了一种带有45°倾斜光纤光栅（TFG）的全光纤正常色散掺镱光纤激光器。该激光腔能够直接产生持续时间为4 ps、带宽为9 nm的稳定线性啁啾脉冲。通过使用偏振相关损耗为33 dB的45°倾斜光纤光栅，在实验中实现了偏振消光比高达26 dB的输出脉冲。我们的结果表明，45°倾斜光纤光栅可以有效地用作偏振器，可应用于单偏振全光纤激光器。
