Abstract :
We report the improved performance and reliability of all-normal dispersion fibre lasers produced linearly chirped output pulses compressible to 120fs. The effect of the intracavity spectral filter is investigated both theoretically and numerically and demonstrate the reliability of the device via comprehensive endurance tests.
