Birefringence-Induced Trains of High-Rate Pulses in a Mode-Locked Fiber Laser

The output of a mode-locked erbium-doped ring fiber laser incorporating a section of a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber is investigated in both numerical simulations and experiments. With proper inline polarization control, the laser can be set to emit a train of pulses, separated by the differen...
