摘要
A diode-pumped ytterbium-erbium 'figure of eight' laser is stabilised by the inclusion of a bandwidth-limiting element inside the cavity. Transform limited solitons with durations of 1.35ps are generated, continuously tunable over 20nm. Temporal stabilisation is imposed through amplified feedback of light reflected by the nonlinear loop mirror.
