Abstract
A nonlinear mirror formed by a nonlinear twin-core fiber recoupled to itself in a
loop configuration is used as a mode-locking element. Under repeated
amplification in an external gain medium of finite bandwidth, we observe the
formation and stabilization of a train of solitons. The main part of the
mode-locking mechanism is achieved by the solitonic effect that occurs within
the nonlinear mirror with the stabilization permitted by the linear coupling
properties of the twin-core fiber that prevents secondary pulses to develop and
interact with the main circulating pulse.
