Additive-pulse-compression mode locking of a neodymium fiber laser.
The generation of bandwidth-limited shoulder-free 125-fsec pulses by additive-pulse-compression mode locking of a neodymium glass laser is described. An all-fiber nonlinear amplifying loop mirror is employed as a fast saturable absorber and permits stable pulse generation under the condition of large pulse shaping in the cavity.
