Abstract :
Wavelength-tunable multiple-gigahertz-repetition-rate single- and dual-wavelength nearly-transform-limited short pulses were demonstrated in a mode-locked fiber ring laser using a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser, which served not only as a mode-locker but also as a wavelength-tunable filter.
