Gain Dependent Optimum Pulse Generation Rates of a Hybrid-Type Actively and Passively Mode-Locked Fiber Laser

Mode Locked Fiber Lasers

“…Aiming to profit at the same of the two configurations advantages: a rather low width and a sufficiently high repetition rate of pulses, new prospects and configurations of fiber lasers, using both the passive and active mode locking techniques, have been proposed. This new generation of pulses generator is called hybrid type mode locked fiber laser [20]. Fig.…”

All-optical clock recovery from NRZ data of 10 Gb/s

“…3(f) indicates that the signal to noise ratio may be improved further by stabilizing the cavity length as well as the AMZI since it can reduce the timing jitter of the mode-locked fiber laser caused by the environmental perturbations. It is noted that the maximum bitrate suitable for the all-optical clock recovery with this scheme is determined by the stored energy in the fiber laser [10].…”
