Article Description

We surveyed the longitudinal-mode linewidth of five homemade mode-locked Yb:fiber lasers by taking the beat note with a Hz-level narrow-linewidth CW laser. We systematically varied the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer and found that the linewidth can be as narrow as 200 Hz, which surpassed the records for free-running mode-locked lasers in the literature to our best knowledge. Based on the survey, we propose that making the cavity long and simple is a good working hypothesis for narrowing the linewidth and provide practical techniques to reduce the environmental fluctuations.
