IBARRA-VILLALON, H.E. et al. Principles of operation of a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser and 3D mapping of ultra-short pulses. Rev. mex. fís. E [online]. 2018, vol.64, n.2, pp.195-204. ISSN 1870-3542.

In this article, we study the operation and basic elements in a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser (PML-FRL), emphasizing the saturable absorber (SA) effect seen as a nonlinear filter in transmission, which is produced by the non-linear polarization rotation (NPR) and a linear polarizer. Besides, we employ a technique of 3D mapping measurements for characterizing ultra-short pulse dynamics.

Palavras-chave : Mode locked fiber laser; saturable absorber; nonlinear fiber optics; pulse dynamics.
