We review recent investigation into the active mode-locking of rare earth doped silica,
monomode fiber lasers. Dopants include Nd3+, Er3+ and Yb3+: Er3+ and mode-locking has …

In this paper, we present a new method to reach the multi-pulse regime in mode-locked fibre
laser. This approach allows us to generate distortion free pulses while reducing the required …

Fiber lasers offer several clear advantages over solid-state systems: compact de-sign,
thermal management, minimal alignment, spatial beam quality and low cost. Consequently …

We report the first implementation of a new cavity topology for mode-locked fibre lasers. This
new'drop-shaped'cavity topology employs a dual-fibre optical collimator and allows for a …

Fiber lasers and amplifiers offer unique characteristics that are derived from the use of a
waveguide and the properties of rare-earth doped silica glass. Their capability for high …

The work presents for the first time a comparative study of mode-locked figure-8 laser, in
which two independently pumped active media are located either in the same or in different …

Methods of output wavelength tuning in short-pulsed fibre lasers are analysed. Many of them
rely on spectral selection principles long used in other types of lasers. For compatibility with …

We identify the spectral gain filtering as a mechanism of multiple pulse formation in a fiber
laser passively mode-locked through nonlinear polarization rotation operating in the normal …

We describe theoretical and experimental investigations on the spectral and temporal
control of an actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser equipped with a highly …

We report on the development of a high power monolithic CW fiber oscillator with an output
power of 215 W in a 20μm core diameter few-mode Large Mode Area fiber (LMA). The key …
