Stabilizing a 10 GHz 0.8 ps asynchronously mode-locked Er-fiber soliton laser by deviation-frequency locking

Abstract

Without using high speed RF feedback electronics, long-term stabilization of a 10 GHz 0.8 ps mode-locked Er-fiber soliton laser with asynchronous phase modulation is demonstrated by controlling the cavity length to lock the deviation frequency at 25 kHz. (C) 2005 Optical Society of America.
