Abstract
A mode-locked semiconductor laser resonator can be designed from fiber optic beam splitters, spectral filters, and reflectors with a compact all-fiber form.1 The optical structure of such complex fiber based cavities, involving multiple mirrors and the length of fibers, in addition to resonance-like phenomena of active mode-locking, enables us to use time and/or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques.
