B. Bakhshi et al., 10GHZ MODELOCKED, DISPERSION-MANAGED AND POLARIZATION-MAINTAINING ERBIUM FIBER RING LASER WITH VARIABLE OUTPUT COUPLING, Electronics Letters, 34(9), 1998, pp. 884-885
A 10GHz regeneratively modelocked, dispersion-managed and polarisation
-maintaining erbium fibre ring laser has been constructed with a varia
ble outcoupling; it produced very stable and nearly chirp-free 3.2-8.1
ps sech(2) pulses at 1560 nm. It is experimentally shown that the sta
ble operation region of the ML-EFRL is extended by increasing the lase
r output coupling.
