Abstract

A passive mode-locked linear-resonator fiber laser using polarization-maintaining fibers and a saturable absorber to produce ultra short pulses and a long-term reliable operation with reduced maintenance. Such a fiber laser can be configured to produce tunable pulse repetition rate and tunable laser wavelength.
