Abstract :
Summary form only given. We show a special pulsed laser operation in which strong dispersion imposes conditions on the laser cavity length and the pulse rate, raising a new self consistency condition and dispersion modes in such lasers. We also present an experimental demonstration of such a laser with a long fiber cavity.
