Abstract
Using intensity-dependent polarization rotation as a passive mode-lock ing mechanism, pulses as short as 350 fs have been generated in an erb ium fibre loop laser. Even in the cavities optimized for minimum-pulse -width generation, the response of the soliton structures to the perio dic amplification gave rise to the now characteristic spectral side ba nds.
