Abstract
We have studied theoretically and experimentally supermode competition in a n actively mode-locked Er-fiber laser that operates in a high harmonic mode . Using an innovative numerical technique that allows us to properly accoun t for the complex interaction of multiple pulses with the gain media, ive c ould study the dynamics that leads to supermode competition, pulse dropouts , and pulse pair generation, and to accurately predict the Limits of the st able operating regime.
