Abstract
Here we report on the first demonstration of a mode-locked laser using an ytterbium-doped photonic bandgap (Yb-PBG) fiber as the gain medium and a dispersion compensator. We show that using semiconductor saturable absorber mirror together with the Yb-PBG fiber allows for self-starting mode-locked laser around 1-mum wavelength range
