【 摘 要 】

In this study, we report on the transient response of a passively mode-locked erbium fiber ring laser as studied by switching the optical pumping of the erbium doped fiber on and off. We confirm that the laser can maintain its mode-locking state even while the pump is modulated, and describe the laser behavior and its typical transient response upon abrupt changes in the intensity of the optical pump.
