Abstract
250-fs pulses have been generated directly from a passively mode-locke d ytterbium-erbium figure-of-eight laser. In addition to the usual cha racteristic of one pulse per round trip, the laser could be made to pr oduce regular pulse bursts at the round-trip frequency, with repetitio n rates in excess of 300 GHz.
