Active and passive modulation methods for management of passive mode-locked fiber lasers

Abstract

On basis of numerical simulation we have studied the characteristic generation instability arising from inertial modulation of gain-losses and refractive index of an intracavity laser medium. Such modulation is used as a method for management of interaction of ultrashort pulses in the laser resonator. The modulation due to an electro-optical feedback loop is considered also. In the case of such modulation the analyzed instability can be suppressed.
