碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 光電工程研究所 === 84 === In the thesis we study the theory and construction of actively mode-locked fiber lasers. We have successfully constructed an actively mode-locked Er-dopedfiber ring laser using an E-O phase modulator as the mode-locker. When the modulator is driven by a 417.6 MHz RF signal, pulses with a duration of 53.8 psand peak power of 237 mW are generated at a repitition rate of 835.2 MHz. We have also solved the master equation of the actively mode- locked fiber laserby means of a variational method and compared the calculated results with theexperimental results. Good agreement is found.
