Abstract

We demonstrate a technique to achieve bidirectional mode locking of a fiber ring laser using two amplitude modulators passively driven by a signal regenerated from the oscillation of the laser itself. The new scheme allows generation of two independent—frequency unlocked—countercirculating pulses and active control of their crossing points. The technique minimizes the effects of the dead band associated with crossing at a scattering media. Results show stable bidirectional pulses at a 5MHz repetition rate with no detectable dead band.
