【 摘 要 】

In this work an all-fiber laser system able to produce stable cnoidal waves in both limits, i.e. in sinusoidal and soliton limits, is presented. The system is constructed using an erbium highly-doped fiber as an active media and an electrooptic modulator as the core of the control tool. This control tool is able to modulate the cavity losses. The direct modulation allows to control the pulses properties, shape, width and intensity. The proposed system is well described by a three level laser model based on the Statz-de Mars rate equations. Numerical and Experimental results are presented.
