Abstract

The stable generation regimes of both single ultrashort pulses and pulse packages in the spectral range of 1540–1600 nm are demonstrated for two cavity designs of fiber-optic lasers: dumbbell-type and annular. In both designs the mode locking regime is provided by the nonlinear rotation of the polarization plane. It is demonstrated that using the dumbbell-type cavity design with circulator is more advantageous in erbium fiber-optic laser for obtaining the single-pulse generation compared against the classical annular design constructed on analogous elements.
