Abstract
We utilize polarization-dependent gain to generate single-polarization laser operation in a polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber laser (PM EDFL). The PM EDFL. was pumped by linearly polarized light. The output polarization from the EDFL was co-linear with the pump when the pump was polarized along either of the principal axes of the PM EDFL.
