A figure-8 laser is configured in which gain in the uni-directional loop can be removed while maintaining mode-locked operation with gain only in the bi-directional nonlinear amplifying loop. Simplified self-starting and control over pulse characteristics by controlling gain in the bi-directional loop is made possible.

Figure eight laser

Good femtosecond fiber laser performance is achieved by producing picosecond Raman shifted pulses of sufficient intensity to undergo self-phase modulation (SPM), thus causing the pulses to advantageously spread spectrally, which then makes it possible to temporally compress the pulses with an optical compressor to produce femtosecond pulses with high peak power.
