Abstract
The mode-locking of erbium-doped fiber lasers has recently been the subject of active research and a number of interesting schemes have been reported. For example, a traveling wave InGaAsP laser diode (LD) amplifier was used as an intracavity modulator.1 An LD was simultaneously used as a pump source, an intracavity phase modulator, and an étalon.2 Passive mode-locking using multiple quantum well saturable absorber was also reported.3,4
