Abstract
We give experimental evidence for a new type of mode-locking mechanism for Er-doped fiber lasers based on polarization evolution in an intra cavity multiple-quantum-well waveguide. Experiments indicate that anis otropic properties of waveguides can continuously start the mode-locki ng process.
