We report on environmentally stable long-cavity ultrashort erbium-doped fiber lasers, which self-start mode-locking at quite low thresholds by using spectrally filtered and phase-biased nonlinear amplifying long-loop mirrors. By employing 100-m polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) in the nonlinear loop, the fundamental repetition rate reaches 1.84 MHz and no practical limitation is found to further decrease the repetition rate. The filter used in the long loop not only suppresses Kelly sidebands of the solitons, but also eliminates the amplified spontaneous emission which exists widely in low-repetition-rate ultrafast fiber lasers. The bandwidth of the filter is optimized by using a numerical model. The laser emits approximately 3-ps pulses with an energy of 17.4 pJ, which is further boosted to $1.5~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{J}$ by using a fiber amplifier.

We demonstrate a double-clad Nd 3+-doped polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) amplifier at 1064 nm for a compact configuration of a high-gain and low-noise optical fiber amplifier. The proposed 125 μm inner-cladding diameter in the double-clad fiber provides the single-mode propagation of the signal lightwave into its doped core without misguiding the signal lightwave into the outer-cladding. The small signal gain of Nd 3+-doped fiber amplifier is 24 dB, and its noise coefficient is less than 8 dB.
