Abstract

We experimentally characterize the pulsing dynamics of a short all-fiber laser consisting of separate gain and absorber sections. Systematically varying the optical pump power for different lengths of the absorber section (ranging from 0.21 to 1.48 m) allows us to map out the qualitative behavior of the system. This identifies three main operational regions: nonlasing, stable Q-switching, and irregular pulsing. When interpreted in terms of the bifurcation structure of the Yamada model, the experimental results are in good qualitative agreement.
