Abstract
The concept of relaxation oscillation damping in a tunable fiber laser with a nonlinear absorber or loss element is demonstrated, using a du al-cavity erbium-doped fiber laser. A nonlinear amplified loop mirror was employed as the nonlinear loss element to facilitate damping, Expe rimental results exhibiting complete elimination of relaxation oscilla tions are presented.
