Mode-locked dysprosium fiber laser: Picosecond pulse generation from 2.97 to 3.30 μm

Mode-locked fiber laser technology to date has been limited to sub-3 μm wavelengths despite significant application-driven demand for compact picosecond and femtosecond pulse sources at longer wavelengths. Erbium-doped and holmium-doped fluoride fiber lasers incorporating a saturable absorber are em...
