Bound-State Soliton and Noise-like Pulse Generation in a Thulium-Doped Fiber Laser Based on a Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror

We demonstrate a thulium-doped, mode-locked, all-fiber laser capable of operating in two generation regimes: dispersion-managed soliton and noise-like pulse (NLP). Employing a nonlinear optical loop mirror as an artificial saturable absorber, the oscillator generated optical pulses with a fundamenta...
