Abstract
The combination of a fiber laser and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) makes it possible to realize self starting, stable femtosecond pulse sources.1 The pulse formation process is maintained by the balance of the dispersion and the self phase modulation. In this work we compare the two operation regimes, the solitary an the stretched pulse regime2 of cladding pumped Nd:glass fiber lasers with different fiber lengths.
