Abstract

We demonstrate dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) mode-locking using a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) in a C-band erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser. The mode-locked laser achieved 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 24.56 nm centered at 1562.7 nm, with an output power of 5.0 mW and a pulse energy of 16.81 nJ. The DSR pulse tunability was optimized, where the pulse width was extended from 20 ns to 140 ns, demonstrating enhanced performance with a repetition rate of 297.3 KHz. The optimization was achieved through careful figure-of-eight NALM cavity design, precise polarization control and progressive pump power tuning under net anomalous dispersion
