Abstract

We present results obtained with a stretched-pulse polarization additive pulse mode locked (P-APM) fiber laser using an environmentally stable cavity design, With BSO-nm diode-pumping levels of 200-mW 1.2-nJ pulses with 50 nm of spectrum are obtained, These pulses can be externally compressed to sub-100 fs, The effects of high output coupling (>80%) and pumping configuration oh output performance and intracavity pulse dynamics are studied.
