The coupling of a laser resonator to an external synchronous cavity containing a nonlinear optical element, typically an optical fiber, has proven to be an efficient means for modelocking of lasers. This concept, originally used in soliton lasers, is known as additive pulse mode-locking (APM) and has also been successfully applied to lamp-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. For these lasers it has been demonstrated that the pulse width can be reduced by more than an order of magnitude compared to an actively mode-locked laser [1,2].
