Neodymium-doped polarization maintaining all-fiber laser with dissipative soliton resonance mode-locking at 905 nm

Moving the fiber laser emission to the region below one micron may provide a cheaper, more compact and robust alternatives to the existing solid state lasers considering an ideal source for two-photon microscopy (TPM), optical coherent tomography, laser spectroscopy, precision metrology, LIDAR, quantum communications and also for generation of blue light through frequency doubling [1] - [4] . Here we report, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a neodymium mode-locked fiber laser emitting at 905 nm in the all-fiber polarization maintaining configuration.
