ABSTRACT
Saturable absorber (SA) based harmonic mode-locking (HML) techniques at 2 µm waveband are much less reported than those at 1.5 µm waveband, the maximum repetition rate of the harmonic pulse generated by such techniques at 2 µm waveband is also much lower than those generated at 1.5 µm waveband. In this paper, the 39th harmonic with the repetition rate of 908.6 MHz is realized in a Bi2S3-based thulium-doped fiber laser. The fundamental mode-locked pulse has a central wavelength of 1954.2 nm and a 3-dB bandwidth of 5.1 nm. The repetition rate is 23.27 MHz and the pulse width is 902 fs. The characteristics of the material and harmonic mode-locked pulse are investigated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest and the closest resonance frequency to GHz among the reported SA-based harmonic mode-locked fiber lasers operating at 2 µm waveband.
