摘要：

Erbium doped fiber lasers are normally actively mode-locked through amplitude modulation or phase modulation In this paper we demonstrate that the laser can also be mode-locked by employing polarization modulation with a polarization-dependent cavity loss We obtain a nearly transform-limited mode-locked pulse train at 10 GHz repetition rate with timing jitter as low as 164 fs The timing jitter is only limited by the timing jitter of the driving signal (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
