摘要
A 10 GHz mode-locked fibre laser has been treated to improve its stability and the quality of generated pulses. An unpumped 3 m erbium-doped fibre (EDF) is incorporated outside the cavity at the output of the mode-locked laser and a setup is designed so as to form the strong standing waves inside the EDF that leads to spatial hole burning effect. This reduces the phase noise of the mode-locked laser, resulting in the timing jitter reduction from 260 to 130 fs.
