Abstract
The authors describe the operation of a figure-eight fibre laser constructed with an asymmetrically located amplifier and a largely unbalanced central coupler. This laser experiences less loss and is more easily modelocked than figure-eight lasers constructed with balanced (50:50) central couplers
