Abstract :
Summary from only given. We have experimentally demonstrated a novel tunable fiber ring laser source for an all-fiber tunable pulse train generator. The uni-directional fiber ring laser using the PM amplifier and the novel tunable birefringence filter can provide good amplitude and phase stability along with adjustable channel spacing for tuning the soliton pulse train rate.
