## Abstract A delay‐time tunable, actively mode‐locked erbium‐doped fiber ring laser is demonstrated by using a voltage‐controlled phase‐locked phase shifter as an inherent timing module. By changing the voltage from −3.35 to 3.6 V, the maximum tuning range of the phase and the delay time of the op

Abstract
In this article, we achieve the output observation in time and frequency domain of a rational harmonic mode‐locked fiber laser (RHMLFL). The pulse amplitude of pulse train is equalized by operating at nonlinear modulation transfer function region of active modulator in RHMLFL. Without adding any other additional predistortion components, amplitude equalized short pulses up to the fourth order rational harmonic mode‐locking are successfully demonstrated for 7.5, 10, and 15 GHz. One can extend such a method for various mode‐locked lasers even with much higher repetition rates. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We present and demonstrate a simple method of generating 40‐GHz repetition‐rate pulse trains from a rational harmonic mode‐locked semiconductor fiber‐ring laser with 5‐GHz dual‐driving signal by using pulse‐amplitude equalization. By adjusting the voltages applied to both arms of the mo
Soliton self-frequency shift in a highly nonlinear photonic-crystal fiber is shown to enable an efficient wavelength conversion of 100-fs 70-MHz output of a solid-state ytterbium laser, allowing the generation of sub-100-fs laser pulses with a central wavelength tunable from 1060 to 1400 nm. In the
