Abstract
A new scheme of an amplitude modulated harmonically mode-locked Er-dop ed fiber ring laser is proposed, and the lasing characteristics are ex perimentally investigated. The transform-limited sech(2) pulses at the repetition frequency of 1.64 GHz are stably generated. The pulse widt h and spectral bandwidth are independent of both the amplitude modulat ed (AM) modulation signal frequency and the AM modulation depth.
