Dissipative soliton resonance in thulium-doped fiber laser and its application for microscopy

CLEO: Science and Innovations 2016Session - Fiber Biophotonics (SM4P): Paper no. SM4P.5We experimentally observe dissipative soliton resonance in a thulium-doped fiber laser operating in the anomalous dispersion regime. The laser output exhibits broad quasi-Gaussian spectra (~38 nm) centered at 1970 nm. The system is subsequently applied to spectrally encoded confocal microscopy. © 2016 OS
