Passive mode locking of a laser with a nonlinear fiber reflector
- General Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, 38 Vavilov Street, Moscow (USSR)
A nonlinear mirror in the form of a fiber-loop reflector with nonreciprocity is proposed as a passive mode locker. The mode-locking process occurs as a result of the interference of counterpropagating pulses, when they are properly chirped in the fiber loop. With a computer simulation, we study a simple one-cavity model and find stable solutions.
