Tunable high-repetition-rate fiber laser for the generation of pulse trains and packets.
We report on a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser suited to the generation of high-repetition-rate pulse trains or packets. The two-arm interferometer resonator performs a spectral filtering leading to the emission of short pulse packets with a high repetition rate, adjustable up to 200 GHz. A continuous pulse train with a repetition rate of up to 6.9 GHz was obtained by adding a recirculation loop inside the cavity to fill the spaces between all pulse packets.
