  • Abstract
    The authors have demonstrated switching and active mode-locking of a thulium doped fibre laser using a MQW AFPM (asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator). Additional studies have shown that exciton saturation at high intensities reduces the modulation depth obtainable from such devices significantly
