Abstract :
1.2 ps transform-limited pulses at 1557 nm have been produced by passively mode locking an Er-doped fibre laser. An InGaAs/GaAs-on-GaAs superlattice was used as a fast saturable absorber. The all-fibre laser is designed to be in a ring configuration. The low pump power requirement allowed pumping by a semiconductor laser diode.
