Abstract :
Mode-looked operation of a diode-pumped erbium doped fibre laser is described in which an optically written fibre Bragg reflection grating is used to define the operating wavelength. Pulses of 35 ps duration have been generated at a repetition rate of 5 GHz with mean (peak) output powers of 5 mW (29 mW).
