Q-switching of an all-fiber ring laser based on in-fiber acousto-optic bandpass modulator
Active Q-switching of an all-fiber ring laser utilizing a novel in-fiber acousto-optic tunable bandpass filter (AOTBF) is reported. The transmission characteristics of the AOTBF are controlled by amplitude mod...

The use of NOLM for investigations of initial development of supercontinuum in fibers with anomalous dispersion
We performed a numerical study of the transmission through a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) of a sequence of solitons generated at the initial stage of the supercontinuum (SC) generation. We found that t...
