A Programmable Mode-Locked Fiber Laser Using Phase-Only Pulse Shaping and the Genetic Algorithm

A novel, programmable, mode-locked fiber laser design is presented and numerically demonstrated. The laser programmability is enabled by an intracavity optical phase-only pulse shaper, which utilizes the same linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating (LC-FBG) from its two opposite ends to perform real-ti...
