This paper reviews recent progress on ultrashort pulse generation with erbium-doped fiber
ring lasers. The passive mode-locking technique of polarization additive pulse mode-locking …

Mode-locked fibre lasers are important sources of ultrashort pulses, where stable pulse
generation is achieved through a balance of periodic amplitude and phase evolutions. A …

Rare-Earth-Doped Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers, Second Edition discusses the essential
principles, operating characteristics, and current technology of the main fiber laser and …

Recent developments in rare earth doped fibre lasers and amplifiers are reviewed. Fibre
lasers have been made to operate at a variety of wavelengths, including the important 1.3 …

We have generated pulses as short as 4 psec at 1530 nm from a mode-locked erbium-
doped fiber laser. The mode locker is a wide-bandwidth, lithium niobate guided-wave …

A tunable Nd^ 3+-doped monomode-fiber laser has been constructed that operates
continuously at room temperature. The tuning range covered is 0.900–0.945 and 1.070 …

We present a comprehensive study of dispersion managed ultrashort-pulse generation in
Nd-doped polarization maintaining all-fiber laser at a 920 nm wavelength. We implement a …

This paper reviews the scientific contributions of the last 30 years on erbium-doped fiber
laser ultrashort pulse generation in South America. The focus is on contributions authored in …

We report the generation of gain-switched pulses near 1.06 μm from a Nd^+ 3-doped single-
mode fiber pumped at 590 nm. For a 5-cm-long fiber, pulses of 100 nsec at a 1-MHz …
