Abstract :
This article reports both numerically and experimentally the generation of wave-breaking-free pulses from an environmentally stable Yb-doped all-fiber laser. To the authors´ knowledge, this is the first realization of an environmentally stable all-fiber mode-locked laser operating in the wave-breaking-free regime.
