Abstract

We report on a passively mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber laser with a repetition rate of 1.8 MHz. The laser was hybridly mode-locked via nonlinear polarization evolution and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. It generated chirped 3.8 ps long pulses with a pulse energy of 1.0 nJ which could be dechirped to a pulse duration of 93 fs.
