Loop Mirror

We have demonstrated numerically a passively mode-locked fiber laser based on nonlinear optical loop mirror with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). Its operation principle is based on the creation of nonlinear phase shift difference between the counter propagating beams through the use of SOA and a half-wavelength plate (HWP) in the loop. This is a novel passively mode-locked fiber laser based on SOA.
