Abstract: Applications of mode-locked fiber lasers benefit from robust and self-starting mode-locking,spectral tuning, high pulse energy and high average power. All-polarization-maintaining (PM)fiber lasers mode-locked with a phase-biased nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) have beenshown to be very robust and reliably self-starting, and provide either spectral tuning or high pulseenergy, but not both. We report on a simple method for concurrent spectral tuning andnanojoule-level pulse energy scaling of an all-PM phase-biased NALM mode-locked Yb:fiber laser,which we demonstrate over a 54 nm tuning range, reaching up to 1.67 nJ pulse energy and 126 mWaverage power. Unlike other laser configurations, our results show that net normal dispersion is notnecessary or optimal for scaling the pulse energy of this type of mode-locked fiber laser.
