title: Cascade Raman soliton fiber ring laser.
abstract: Pulses as short as 200 fsec at 1.5 microm and 230 fsec at 1.6 microm have been generated through a cascade Raman, solitonlike process in a fiber ring oscillator. A dispersion-shifted (lambda(0) = 1.46 microm) single-mode fiber was used as the gain medium, which was synchronously pumped by a cw mode-locked Nd:YAG laser operated at 1.32 microm.
