title: Amplitude-equalized high-order arbitrary numerator rational harmonic mode-locked pulse generation in fiber-ring lasers using nonlinear polarization rotation.
abstract: We report the amplitude-equalized high order arbitrary numerator rational harmonic mode-locked (RHMLed) pulse generations based on the technique of nonlinear polarization rotation in the fiber-ring laser. The numerator effect on the amplitude uniformity of RHMLed pulse train is first investigated. It is demonstrated that the high order RHMLed pulse train with uniform amplitude can be achieved by choosing a proper numerator. The pulse amplitude equalization in up to the 10th order RHMLed pulse train is observed when the numerator is equal to 3 instead of 1. It is important that the technique may be useful to generate the high-speed pulse trains with uniform amplitude by using the high order RHMLing technique.
