Abstract :
The concept of relaxation oscillation damping of a tunable fibre laser with a nonlinear absorber is discussed. The principle of operation is illustrated through a numerical model with a nonlinear optical loop mirror as the damping element. Results with complete elimination of relaxation oscillations are presented
