| Abstract: | The concept of relaxation oscillation damping in a tunable fiber laser with a nonlinear absorber or loss element is demonstrated, using a dual-cavity erbium-doped fiber laser. A nonlinear amplified loop mirror was employed as the nonlinear loss element to facilitate damping. Experimental results exhibiting complete elimination of relaxation oscillations are presented |
