  • Passively mode-locked fiber lasers
    Patent number: 6570892
    Abstract: A passive mode-locked linear-resonator fiber laser using polarization-maintaining fibers and a saturable absorber to produce ultra short pulses and a long-term reliable operation with reduced maintenance. Such a fiber laser can be configured to produce tunable pulse repetition rate and tunable laser wavelength.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2003
    Assignee: Calmar Optcom, Inc.
    Inventors: Hong Lin, Katherine Y. Lin
