Polarization Mode Locking in Erbium Doped Fiber Ring Lasers

Abstract

Mode-locking (ML) with erbium doped fiber lasers permits to combine the wide spectral bandwidth of the gain medium with the anomalous group velocity dispersion of the fiber. As a result, soliton pulse shaping plays a key role in the ML dynamics [1-2]. By combining ultrashort soliton amplification and soliton switching [3], it has been demonstrated that ML erbium doped fiber lasers may operate in the femtosecond regime [4]. These ML sources are intrinsically self-starting and unstable [5], and the origin of the observed complex temporal behavior has been recently ascribed to soliton resonances with the laser cavity length [6].
