Abstract :
Numerical studies on the position effect of spectral filter (SF) in an all-normal-dispersion fiber laser are presented in this paper. The dependence of the available bandwidth range of the SF on its position in the laser cavity is investigated. Our simulation results suggest that the output pulses with high energy and strong peak power can be obtained when the SF with an appropriate spectral bandwidth is placed at the optimal positions in the laser cavity.
