Abstract

A self mode-locking (SML) ring cavity laser system with the Yb-doped fiber (YDF) was demonstrated. When the gain fiber was disturbed, the phenomenon of SML was observed. The system can produce the laser pulse width which is smaller than 1 ns without any modulation process such as polarization controller and dispersion compensation.
