  • Abstract
    All-fibre lasers are important in the development of telecommunication systems. The modulation techniques based on all-fibre components permit to obtain new compact and robust laser configurations. Interesting results on new Q-switching and lambda-switching techniques have been obtained. Q-switched distributed feedback fibre-lasers exhibit a narrow bandwidth below 0.4 pm and peak powers the order of 300 mW.
