Duration Switchable High-Energy Passively Mode-Locked Raman Fiber Laser Based on Nonlinear Polarization Evolution

We experimentally demonstrate a stable passively mode-locked Raman fiber laser delivering high-energy pulses that can be switched between the regime of hundreds of nanoseconds and that of picoseconds by the nonlinear polarization rotation technique. Maximum average output power values of 304 and 53...
