Self-starting, passively mode-locked erbium fibre ring laser based on the amplifying Sagnac switch
A novel self-starting, passively mode-locked erbium fibre laser is reported. The scheme is based on the reflection properties of a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror and provides a stable source of picosecond pulses.
