Abstract :
Experimental observation of passive modelocking by dissipative four-wave mixing in an erbium-doped fibre laser containing a dual-peak fibre Bragg-grating filter is reported. The laser operates in the normal dispersion regime and generates optical dark pulse trains with a repetition rate of 80 GHz
