Abstract :
We realized the repetition rate multiplication in a phase-modulated soliton fiber laser with the rational harmonic mode-locking method. A modified pulse phase-locking method is used to stabilize the fiber laser at 10-GHz repetition rate with the rational harmonic order up to five (limited by the component performance). The laser showed an excellent stabilization performance in a long-term bit-error-rate test
