Abstract
The Letter reports on a modified figure-of-eight laser constructed with a 70% output coupler inside a nonlinear amplified loop mirror generating single nearly transform-limited pulses (1.3 ps) per high-power roundtrip (~35 W). This laser is a convenient source of soliton pulses for propagation experiments in standard telecommunication fibres
