title: Suppression of self-pulsing behavior in erbium-doped fiber lasers with resonant pumping.
abstract: A new approach to improving the stability of erbium-doped fiber lasers is presented. By use of a model based on ion-pair effects, spiking behavior is shown to be effectively suppressed by resonant pumping when the pump wavelength is sufficiently close to the lasing wavelength.
