Abstract
An investigation is made of the locking of the relaxation oscillations in a fiber ring laser with an active medium of phosphorus aluminosilicate glass doped with erbium and ytterbium ions. It is shown that stable pulse-periodic emission in the 1.5 /gmm range can be achieved at a pulse repetition frequency between 80 and 160 kHz with a pulse length of 2–3 μs. A single-mode model is used to determine the laser parameters (the pumping rate and the photon lifetime in the cavity).
